This little ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxVoi3B4CB6Oygq1-vo4OTL1M_M5JkrXif tub works perfect in our 6 x 6 shower and is easy to get in and out. Also easy to drain.
Great video, thanks for making such useful and straightforward content! My six year old ripped the towel bar off the wall so I'm working on getting it back on, but at a height that is better for him and his brother.
Great! I'm really glad you pointed out the stud vs drywall anchor install methods. I didn't even think about that when I was shooting the video. It was just what I had to do to make it work! Ha ha!
@@TheRenderQ I needed this. These 24 inch bars I got for the bathroom had the same problem. The left had a stud in the wall, the right side does not, and I saw my mistake in using the plain anchor in the right and it’s loose, but the left is tight, but the right is not. Now I got this hole. I’m putting this in my Pinterest.
Thank you! Mine has been falling off regularly for years and this time I just couldn't get it to stay on the wall. Never knew the little prongs were on screws! DONE!
Excellent! I’ve had my fair share of loose towel bars. Those wall anchors really help when the screw hole no longer holds the screws in! Glad you’ve got a secure towel bar now!
I live in an apartment. My towel racks constantly fall off the wall & door. I have to be so careful hanging my towels light. Anyway, I ended up having to patch a huge hole in the wall & to rehang the bar holder there were no instructions as to which way that silver thing was to face. I took a guess! The “back side” lies flush to the wall! I was afraid to unscrew it & ruin the hole & have to start over again if I had it facing the wrong way! My problem is, IT STILL FALLS OFF!! Anyway, this was very helpful. (But I could definitely NOT need to see a Buddah!!)
Thank you soooooo much for this. I moved into a new house and the towel hanger fell off. I tried to force it on, but after watching the video, I realised what exactly to do... Bro, youtube can teach you anything these days
One more thing.. sometimes ..some bars have brackets a bit lesser in size(in thickness). U fix them on wall with screws .but when u try to tighten the set screws .u will found out they r unbelievable tight right from the start. In reality the set screws pushing the bracket attached to the wall .nit holding them. Make sure to check that first if u r a newbie.
Yes! It will definitely leave a hole in the wall when you remove the wall anchors. The hole will become slightly bigger when you pull them out. You’ll need some pliers to grab them and twist to get them out. Of course without the screw in it. Hope this helps!
Thank you for detailing and explaining. I have been trying to learn how to do little things around my house. This is the best video. Please do more easy household tasks. Carol Montalto
Been trying to rehang mine the past 6 years..still no luck. Th3 holes are just too big and the anchors just keep making larger and larger holes in the drywall. And the screws just either push through the drywall or just hang floppily. I can now nearly stick my entire pinky into the holes.
Thank you so much for your help. It has been broken for quite a while. That little screw under there got me. Very clear and probably very fewest of the videos who accurately describe and answers to the point.
Sorry I don’t know the drill bit size. Usually I just hold the bit up to the screw and pick a bit that is just barely smaller than the screw threads. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
I like everything about the video, it just makes me cringe when you move the drill around while drilling the hole. Why not just choose a slightly larger drill bit? By moving the drill around in a circular motion, you are less “in-control” of the size of the hole you are making, and going to remove more drywall on the internal aspect of drywall, (The place where you actually want the drywall to be the strongest (around the anchor). Just push the drill in, with as little wobble as possible, then withdrawal. That’s the way the drill was designed to be used. Otherwise, like I said, good video. ) ...Plus, I would’ve checked for studs FIRST. You ideally want the screw to be located in the CENTER of a stud. By finding stud first, you could adjust the position of the towel rod slightly so that the right side is more-likely to hit the CENTER of the stud.
Hey thanks for the feedback! You're right about choosing the correct size drill bit! I thought I had the proper size but when I realized I didn't my first instinct is to rotate the bit around to enlarge the hole. I know it's not good practice to do it that way. Regarding studs, I did check for studs. On the first towel bar there is no stud on the left but there is a stud on the right (see it at 2:11). With the length of the towel bar, I could only mount it with the stud on one side. But I'm really glad you enjoyed the video overall! Thanks for watching!
I've already gotten this far and am looking for help because my anchors are spinning and after finaggling with pliers and a screw driver I got the screws flush to the bracket but not tight at all. My holes for the anchors are a little big now too.
I had a towel bar in a bathroom where the hole in the drywall got too big for plastic anchors. To fix it we used the metal folding type. They’re spring loaded so they fold to the size of the hole. Then flip open once behind the wall. Basically put the screw partly into the folding anchor, slip it into the wall and tighten. This will provide a super strong grip. Of course they come in different sizes too. Hope this helps!
😍Such a useful well made video. thank you so much, I'm going to do this over the weekend myself! so sick of waiting for guys to help me. 😅master bath here l come!
A handyman just installed our beautiful new towel bar and medicine cabinet, but both are uneven by about 1/16"!! He used a laser on the wall to measure (rather than a tape measure), and we are so bummed. The wall was freshly painted ... do you think 1/16" is enough to have him come back and redo it?
I know if the towel bar was uneven it would bother me every time I look at it. So if you feel the same way then maybe have him come back. His laser level is probably more accurate than a tape measure. However as I do DIY projects around the home I find that some walls/windows aren’t exactly level which could be why the towel bar is slightly off. Sometimes it depends on the reference point used for leveling. He may be able to adjust it without too much trouble. Hope this helps!
The screws on the bottom are not screwing into my anchor. When I’m trying to screw them into the anchor it’s like they are just pushing the towel rack off the anchor as I try to screw them in. Nothing is working, they are not easily screwing in like your video. Absolutely maddening I’m literally about to punch a hole in the wall instead.
I just used the plastic ones from the home improvement store. Just make sure it fits the size of screw you are using. I don't know the exact size of the ones I used off the top of my head but I currently have two sizes in my cabinet just in case for various projects. There are also metal anchors that flip out after you insert them into the wall. Those are probably more secure than the plastic ones. The metal flip out ones are useful if the hole in the drywall gets too big for an anchor. An employee at the store could probably help you with the correct size. Hope this helps!
Oh nice! That's a long time but as you can see it's pretty simple to do. Just don't drill the hole too big. You could find a scrap piece of drywall and do some practice on it to get more confidence on doing it!
Yeah let me know if you have other projects. It might give me ideas on new videos. I was planning on creating a whole new channel one of these days just for home improvement/repairs because this channel is mainly for tech reviews. I welcome your ideas!
I'm currently looking for a new towel bar but the old bracket was installed side by side but I can't find any good ones like the bell shape that are the same. Am I looking in the wrong places?
I don’t think you need a lot of power to screw in screws with a power drill. I have mine on a lower speed setting. And this is an old drill from Eagle Hardware from many years ago... if you remember that store before it became Lowe’s.
Haha! Hopefully you can get your wall patched up! But you’re probably going you have to use some good wall anchors when installing your towel bar! Thanks for watching!
Yeah I’ve seen those anchors come out of the wall. Depends on how rough people are when yanking the towel off the bar. It also depends on whether the proper size hole is drilled. These towel bars are still holding very strong on my wall since I installed them. I’ve used these plastic anchors on other towel bars and towel rings around my house with no problem. Thanks for watching!
I'm only a weekend handyman so I'm not exactly sure about how to know where the electrical wiring is located in the wall. On the wall in the video I know there are no electrical wires there. But if I'm correct, most electrical wiring in the walls will be secured to the wood studs. The only ones that aren't will be the ones going across the studs. I've installed a towel ring right above a light switch and electrical outlet in one of my other bathrooms and didn't run into an issue. However, you might ask a friend or co-worker for some additional advice before continuing if you're worried about the wiring in your wall.
Yes! You know what? This towel bar actually had the template printed on the inside of the box. I didn't know it was there until I was done with the installation and in the process of flattening the box to recycle it!
There are different types of wall anchors. I’ve been thinking of making a video to solve the problem you just described. But in the meantime you can use the wing-type wall anchors made out of metal. They have a spring that holds them open when they’re behind the wall. First put a screw through it and towel bar wall bracket. Then squeeze the spring loaded anchor and slip it into the hole in the wall. This will provide an ultra secure hold. You can find these at your local hardware store. I have these in one of my bathrooms. My towel bar isn’t going anywhere! Hope this helps!
Thanks for your question! Yeah I was assuming the studs are wooden. At least in all the homes I’ve lived in. Maybe if you’re in a commercial building like an apartment or condo you would probably have metal studs. I don’t have any experience drilling into metal studs so I can’t really help you there. You’d need a drill bit made for metal plus I don’t know how thick the outside layer of the metal stud would be. But it’s possible to drill into them since the metal studs are hollow. But again I don’t have experience with them. If you’re unsure then I’d recommend using wall anchors for the installation. Hopefully where you need to put the anchors still allows you to place the towel bar where you want it.
Thank you sir Just bought my first home and i need to install this i wasnt sure how but this is helpful thank you 😅 Are ypu able to do a door lock tutorial Theres a lock i want to install on the door and metal frame of the door Not sure how to drill the metal frame and put a screw in
I installalled a 3 towel rack as in the video. After a coupld of weeks, the rack started to come out even with anchors. What did we do wrong? Could you help please?
Way to drill the heck out of that drywall 3-4 inches in a circular motion and hammer the poop out of those anchors!! You could use some hair on those set screws!
Thanks for the feedback! You're probably right about the plastic anchors. However that's what is included in pretty much all products that need mounted to walls. Definitely the best are the metal spring-loaded anchors. But I think the type that was included with the towel bars I installed will last for quite a while.
That's what I thought, too - the problem arises when angular forces are applied, such as someone pulling the towels off the bar sort of to the side, or essentially, in a direction that doesn't align with the weight-bearing design. You're right about the metal anchors!
When buying a replacement bar, do you measure from screw to screw to find out the size? Because my current bar is 18.5" from screw to screw, so I am not sure if I should buy 18" ?
Yes you could measure screw to screw to get an approximate size. But each towel bar might be slightly different in length so the original holes won’t necessarily work. But to get the length you could measure the bar itself but that also varies with each bar. I think approximate length will be good enough. Hope this helps!
@@TheRenderQ thank you. I am trying to avoid drilling any new holes. Nothing wrong with current bar just trying to update to matte black and now thinking that maybe just painting it black instead.
Careful on the plastic toggle anchors. Both anchors on each bracket must be installed so the "wings" of the toggle are horizontal as you push them through the drywall, otherwise when you set the anchor with the red pin the toggles could "touch" each other preventing them from sitting tight against the wall.
@zander esp I usually put the first bracket in the wall first then I make sure the second bracket is level with the first. Place the level on top of both brackets and "rest" it on both brackets as you hold the bracket in place with your hand. Then you can mark your holes on the second bracket. Many ways to do it just my preferred method
Great video! Learnt fr yr video how to reinstall my bar towel after it came off. Didnt realise there is a screw at side of the round knob till i watched yr video. In less than 10.min, ta‐da ! Done! Thank you!
In my demonstration in the video yes I did drill a bigger hole for the wall anchor. I simply compare the size of the screw or wall anchor to the size of the drill bit. I always choose one slightly smaller than the screw or anchor. Hope this helps!
I haven’t had to work with metal studs before so I’m not sure how much I can help. However you’ll probably need a drill bit made for metal. The procedure is most like the part where I put a screw into the wooden stud. Just don’t drill the hole too big!
If you don't have the anchors included in the towel bar set, which anchors should I look for at the hardware shop? I'm using the same towel bars which had been installed years ago, but the original anchors look unsalvageable.
Look for plastic anchors like the ones in the video. Bring one of your screws to the hardware store so you can hold it up to the package and see what fits or ask one of the employees. Another thing you can do is ask a neighbor if they have some extra wall anchors. You won't need that many. I suggest asking a neighbor who is handy because I have lots of anchors left over from other projects and you might find someone that has extras just lying around. Hope this helps and good luck with your installation!
Everything in the video was good except you drilled in last stage right through the holding clip. That was risky. Also you could have drilled first all four holes and then inserted those clips.
This is def going to help me install mine. The measuring from the floor seems like a good idea, as I’m not sure that the window and stuff around are level… who ever build or did a previous remodel on this place before me did some shotty work, that I’m slowly repairing as money allows.
When I select a drill bit, I'll hold up the screw or drywall anchor, then select a drill bit that is just slightly smaller than the diameter of the screw or drywall anchor. Hold the bit up against the screw so you can see the diameter of the screw and drill bit. I hope this answers your question!
I very much appreciate the excellent audio quality of your video!

Yes you could measure screw to screw to get an approximate size. But each towel bar might be slightly different in length so the original holes won’t necessarily work. But to get the length you could measure the bar itself but that also varies with each bar. I think approximate length will be good enough. Hope this helps!
@@TheRenderQ thank you. I am trying to avoid drilling any new holes. Nothing wrong with current bar just trying to update to matte black and now thinking that maybe just painting it black instead.
Careful on the plastic toggle anchors. Both anchors on each bracket must be installed so the "wings" of the toggle are horizontal as you push them through the drywall, otherwise when you set the anchor with the red pin the toggles could "touch" each other preventing them from sitting tight against the wall.
When checking if the holes are leveled, do place the level on the center or bottom of the hole?
@zander esp I usually put the first bracket in the wall first then I make sure the second bracket is level with the first. Place the level on top of both brackets and "rest" it on both brackets as you hold the bracket in place with your hand. Then you can mark your holes on the second bracket. Many ways to do it just my preferred method
I actually loathe hanging towel bars . I do it like you do . But they’re still always a pain . Thank you again 😊
Thanks, for simple easy steps!
You’re welcome! I’m really glad that you enjoyed my towel bar installation video! Thanks for watching!
Cut the bar to 16” and you can mount both side on a stud….
Anybody know what screws are used to make the bar tight?
Why is this asmr
Great video! Learnt fr yr video how to reinstall my bar towel after it came off. Didnt realise there is a screw at side of the round knob till i watched yr video. In less than 10.min, ta‐da ! Done! Thank you!
Who manufactured the towel bar, please? Thanks!
Well done so many videos are I hard to understand they talk too quick
Did you have to drill a bigger hole for the side of the towel rail with the wall plug?
In my demonstration in the video yes I did drill a bigger hole for the wall anchor. I simply compare the size of the screw or wall anchor to the size of the drill bit. I always choose one slightly smaller than the screw or anchor. Hope this helps!
@@TheRenderQ Thanks!
Damn he using grandpas tools
very clear to see what you are doing and verbal instructions are perfect. thank you for doing the work to help me. Your step by step was perfect.
How do you know what size drill bit to use
What if you have metal studs?
I haven’t had to work with metal studs before so I’m not sure how much I can help. However you’ll probably need a drill bit made for metal. The procedure is most like the part where I put a screw into the wooden stud. Just don’t drill the hole too big!
Excellent video!!! Thank you!!
You’re welcome! I’m really glad that my towel bar installation video was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful buddha statue
Do you need to pre-drill the hole going into the stud? Or can you just put the screw into the stud
If you don't have the anchors included in the towel bar set, which anchors should I look for at the hardware shop? I'm using the same towel bars which had been installed years ago, but the original anchors look unsalvageable.
Look for plastic anchors like the ones in the video. Bring one of your screws to the hardware store so you can hold it up to the package and see what fits or ask one of the employees. Another thing you can do is ask a neighbor if they have some extra wall anchors. You won't need that many. I suggest asking a neighbor who is handy because I have lots of anchors left over from other projects and you might find someone that has extras just lying around. Hope this helps and good luck with your installation!
Thank you so much.
Thanks
THANK YOU💯💯💯🙏🏼
Dear UA-camr I don't understand your talk because I am from Bangladesh
Nicely Presented !
Thanks! I’m really glad that you enjoyed my towel bar installation video! Thanks for watching!
Everything in the video was good except you drilled in last stage right through the holding clip. That was risky. Also you could have drilled first all four holes and then inserted those clips.
A method that actually works! Love it!!
Thanks.
This is def going to help me install mine. The measuring from the floor seems like a good idea, as I’m not sure that the window and stuff around are level… who ever build or did a previous remodel on this place before me did some shotty work, that I’m slowly repairing as money allows.
Excellent! Really glad my towel bar installation video was helpful! Thanks for watching!

How are you choosing what size drill bit to use to create initial hole?
When I select a drill bit, I'll hold up the screw or drywall anchor, then select a drill bit that is just slightly smaller than the diameter of the screw or drywall anchor. Hold the bit up against the screw so you can see the diameter of the screw and drill bit. I hope this answers your question!
Very helpful. Thanks.
