Flip a Grip Doorway Assist Handle, Folding Grab Bar Grips, Door Grab Handles for Elderly, Seniors, Suitable for Front Doorway, Garage Door, Stair, Bathroom

Love those handle, solid when you need it, and easy out of the way by folding it, perfect size and well designed, my wife was recently partly disabled after brain cancer surgery, really helpful to help with her autonomy n

I installed it ahead of my knee surgery and it worked out great. Didn't want to install a full banister in this small space and I just needed something to grab onto as I stepped down. This turned out perfectly.

I honestly thought this was a pair of grab bars but it is only one, my mistake. It is overpriced by about ten dollars compared to other sellers here selling the exact same item. My recommendation is for buyers to keep looking.

My parents moved in with us a year ago, at the age of 87, which brought about a flurry of grab bar purchases and installations in various locations and of various designs depending on what was most appropriate for each application.This particular bar was mounted in the doorway (on the doorway frame) between the porch and the kitchen to assist with getting up and down the one step between the rooms. The step is a bit higher/steeper than it should be, just enough to make it even more challenging and in need of an assistive grab bar. We didn't want anything that would statically stick out too far, encroach into the doorway space and impede moving large items in and out, such as furniture or possibly an ambulance cot, etc. This little (but strong) grab bar fit our requirements very well. HOWEVER, it NEVER did flip up by itself when not in use, its internal magnet not nearly strong enough to accomplish that. That was a major disappointment at first. On the other hand, having it up against the threshold and not visible (for the most part) can put it "out of sight, out of mind" of the very people who most need to be using it. My parents did have to be reminded that it was there in the beginning, but it eventually stuck with them, and they learned to use it consistently, very grateful for the assistance it provided (especially when going UP the step).Though its internal magnet is not strong enough to pull the little grab bar upright on its own, once it is manually put in that vertical position, the magnet IS strong enough to keep the bar vertical and out of the way until someone again pulls it down to use it.All-in-all, despite its inability to "home itself", I am deducting only one star due to the following qualities this grab bar does have going for it. I also recommend it for the same reasons. **Its small, unobtrusive size **Its favorable design and function for use in tight spaces and doorways **Its rock-solid stability when installed on a doorway frame or other wall stud, using screws that are appropriate for the task. (Hubby ditched the screws that were included and used screws he had on hand that were stronger, longer and better suited to the force that is applied when an adult uses the bar to pull their weight up a step.) **Its relatively low price for an assistive mobility device (There is another version of this same type of grab bar now being sold here on Amazon that uses a spring [vs a magnet] to supposedly flip itself up automatically when the user lets go of it. It is the only one of this bar style that I was able to find here that uses a spring. I intended to buy another of these little fold-up grab bars to mount right outside our new walk-in shower to provide one more stable bar to grab onto when stepping from the shower to the bathroom floor. I decided on another type of bar but am curious as to whether the spring-loaded version of this bar actually succeeds in folding itself up.)
