Recessed Toilet Paper Holder

This is about the easiest DIY installation I’ve come across. My downstairs bathroom is annoyingly small, and I had one of those silly freestanding metal wire toilet paper roll holders. I hated that thing! I knocked it over all the time and those things just are not at all classy. I couldn’t install a typical wall mounted roll dispenser because the only wall room that I had available was behind the door. The rolls would’ve all gotten squashed every time someone opened the door to go in, and we all know that you just can’t get a useable length of toilet paper off of a square toilet paper roll. I’d either have to re-round by hand(again, not classy) or settle for little strips because it’s just going to rip every time another corner comes around. I looked at like 40+ in-wall dispensers and picked this one because of the price, reviews and the simple instructions. It was super easy to install, it looks really nice and the door doesn’t hit the roll. I use the big giant Charmin rolls and don’t have any problems. It rubs only slightly on the first few turns of a new roll, but it doesn’t even slow the rotation or rip the paper. My advice for installation is this. Sit on your toilet before selecting a location, make sure you and every size guest can reach the location, but also that it’s not so close that you’d need to be double jointed to get to it. Also, I transferred the dimensional cutout line from the instructions onto a piece of cardboard so it would be easier to put a level on it. I made the cardboard 1/4” smaller on all 4 sides than the outline in the directions because you don’t need to cut it as big as the outline. The more wall material that you leave for the back clamp to grab, the better. It’s worth the buy. Good luck!

I bought the brushed nickel version 10 months ago for one of our bathrooms, and I'm very happy with it. The spring loaded bar makes it easy to change to a new roll one-handed, but it has enough tension that it has never popped out unintentionally. The frame and the center bar of the holder I received are all metal (which is interesting because another review mentions a plastic center bar; I double checked and the one we have has an all-metal construction with springs at either end. I hope the design hasn't changed recently!) After 10 months of regular use it still appears brand new - no scratches, signs of rust, etc. I'm buying a couple more now, to replace the old tp holders in our other bathrooms, as well. I'm often disappointed by the quality of materials or manufacturing when I buy so-called durable goods online, and can't evaluate the item in person. Not this time. I'm really glad I chose this roll holder, and would definitely recommend it.

The product works; but, I had a struggle getting the back curved plate in place with the screws attached to the holder based on the directions. After several hours trying to figure this out I realized the screws where too short; therefor I took off one star.

Suddenly everyone's on the bandwagon to sell MEGA rolls. They are Everywhere! I'm O.K. with that, except on the in-wall toilet paper holders, the big, fat rolls get jammed up and are hard to dispense when they're stuffed into the older fixtures. We have a really compact bathroom in our bedroom, so there's no room for other holder solutions. The plus on this holder is that the arms holding the roller are longer, and the MEGA rolls turn easily even when they are new. The installation was straightforward and it fit into the same hole the old one came out of. Tighten two screws, and it's done. The fixture is heavy gauge metal and the finish on both the polished chrome and brushed nickel plated versions is very good. I bought two because the wall mount in the larger bathroom also needed the upgrade. They've been in place for 7 months now, and still look like new.

We have had this TP holder for the last couple of years! It is still in great condition and has withheld the test of time! It is sturdy and is a great addition to our bathroom! When we first received it, the roller-holder was jammed. Just take it to a table and hit the jammed part a couple of times and will loosen up! It has been great, ever since! Looks great and hasn't faded!

Renovating a home built in the 1980s. I had never seen toilet paper holders recessed into the wall before but, all of our bathrooms had them. The existing fixtures were shiny chrome and we wanted to change them to match the brushed nickel we are using elsewhere in the home. These were a perfect fit and were easy to install. These also have a great metal roll holder - it is sturdy and has a great spring mechanism. Really pleased with these toilet paper holders.

Version I received had what I can only assume was an attempt to make a nicer looking roll holder when installed but it was an epic failure when it came to installing and removing. Instead of the fairly standard two-piece rod that has one side that slides in the other with an internal spring to push them back apart to lock into the holder, this version attempts to use shorter spring-loaded ends on both ends. Only problem is the ends tend to misalign when pushed in and get stuck in the main rod making it hard to get them to install without having to reach between the toilet roll and holder on the wall mount section and jimmying them until they release. Getting them out is even worse. I had to use a flat blade to get enough friction on the barely exposed end to push it in which ended up marring the finish. The wall mount section is fine but plan to reuse your old rod if this is s replacement which is what I did as I was changing the finish on the fixtures and was replacing an old chrome one. If this for a new installation, plan to have to go buy a different rod if you get this one.

The roller doesn't compress far enough to easily remove it from the holder. Had to use tools to get it out. Not something you want to do everytime you need to put in a new roll of toilet paper. I replaced the roller that came with the unit with a standard one and that worked.

Very happy with this product . Looks classy in situ . Comes with good instructions . Easy to change loo roll . Easy fix .

Excelente, van dos veces que compro este producto. Lo recomiendo.

Fut on my old paper holder perfectly. Colour matches my Taos. Promot delivery! Very happy with it

This toilet paper holder is good quality and was easy to install. The holder is deep enough for Costco brand toilet paper rolls to roll without sticking, which was the main reason I wanted a deeper holder. The roll bar can be a bit challenging to squeeze to change the roll, but it’s not overly difficult. The recessed area of the wall I was installing it into wasn’t deep enough to insert the installation back-plate, but I was able to screw the front piece directly into a piece of plywood in the back of the wall and it’s very secure.
