3 Points for Success – from Tom Zimmerman:
Product price is only part of the story.  Not all products are the same, so they have different requirements (costs) for installation.

The people we serve are often intimidated by the work we do. We are working on a very important part of their lives, don’t lose sight of that.

There is not a perfect product or approach for every situation.  Each situation is different and has different needs.

Some helpful products mentioned by Brooke in this edition of CareyBrosPros:
Grab bars for quick job -
http://wingits.com/products/type/fasteners
https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/accessories/grab-bars
https://www.moen.com/about-moen/brands/home-care

For nicer grab bars, towel/grab-bars, specialty items, etc -
Check with Moen or Delta. These items may not always show up on their websites, so you’ll have to ask.

For Pros looking for accessible showers -

To make a door swing open wider -
Use an “offset door hinge” or “swing clear door hinge"

Know the code - for commercial projects, the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) may apply.  In most cases you want an Architect or Engineer to determine the work requirements.  For most residential homes, this does not apply, but it’s a great idea to check with local authorities first.

 For residential work - not subject to the ADA - everyone has different needs so use the ADA and other information as a guide.  Take the time to meet with the client to get their input on what can help them, grab bar heights, etc. My wife, Esther, is a leading expert on what she calls “Enabling Design.”  If you think about your goal being to create homes that help everyone live better in them every day, you will accomplish more for your customer than if you just think about what someone with a disability needs. 

Low-cost preparation, especially in the framing stage, can save a lot of money and hassles later.  Blocking at different heights, or full coverage with 3/4” plywood can allow installation of bars and accessories anytime at the perfect height for the client.
