I'm considering this for installing on an oak vanity cabinet. It should work for toilet paper dispensing but what about grab bar weight?

We have ours attached to a vanity. Works just fine! You may want to add reinforcement inside the cabinet if you are concerned about weight.

I considered attaching to reinforced cabinet, but after looking over quality of wood and construction of several price levels of cabinets decided against and had it installed on wall with one end on a stud.

I think this is hard to answer without knowing the quality of the cabinet. I'm sure Moen would not recommend it as it's designed for wall installation. However, IF the cabinet were really strong and installed really well, it could work but it also could pull the cabinet out over an extended period. Bottom line is that you would have to make the call on it but it's not really designed for that.

my handyman put it on studs in wall so I can't tell you about a cabinet....if you do buy one, be sure to tilt just about 1/2 inch upwards so toilet paper stays on holder much better......

I think it will work on a vanity but...I would add a board on the inside of the vanity to brace and displace the weight. The walls of vanities are generally very thin and may not support the weight. You will have to make sure you have room for the extra board on the inside between the vanity wall and the drawers if they are on that side.

You could, but I doubt that it would hold any kind of weight. If your intent in installing this grab bar is to use it for the purpose of helping you get to your feet from a seated position, it should really by anchored to a stud, or 2x4 blocking inside your wall. If this grab bar were installed on the wall where MY pocket door is, I'm fairly certain it would be ripped right out of the wall the very first time I used it to try to help me get to my feet. Your mileage may vary....

No, this would be too weak- it's meant more for paper products. You might try 3M strips for that- some will hold a lot of weight.

I found the item a bit shaky, of course, I had it put on a carpeted floor. You're talking a weight of some 50 pounds here, though. I can't recommend it, the different levels are each fastened by a not-so-long screw and the pillars are hollow but for a plastic disc in the ends, it might hold, but could well buckle. It's meant more for smaller knickknacks than your planned monstrous item.

I would not use this for anything. I bought a cheaper plastic pullout and it was better and less expensive. This one was twice the cost and very poorly made. I don't think it would hold that kind of weight.

Thi Is Not A Bad Idea & Is Well Made. It Just Doesn't Hang Onto Toilet Paper Well. Could A Rubber Band Help? Messy Fingers Aside, It Just Doesn't Work Well, For me.

It depends on how big your plunger is. It will hold four rolls of toilet paper. Hope this helps a little!

Should work great! Phone, drink holder, etc. Wonderful idea! Might just need to pay attention to the diameter of the bar you want to mount to and make sure you use the right size.

I do not think it will hold something of that weight. I think this product is suited for paper bonding of various weights. I think eventually gravity might pull it down, if you use this tape.

I think it would work fine, but would not recommend it if you were going to put a lot of heavy objects in the drawer. I don't think they would hold up to the weight over time.

Probably not. The lock is designed to be used with a strike plate on a door jam. If there is no plate to insert the long part of the lock into it will not hold properly. The lock works by trapping the door between the strike plate and the lock itself, relying on the toothed metal strip to prevent the door from sliding back. Depending on the type of drawer that you have it could catch onto something else but if it is a nice piece of furniture (and wooden) it wouldn't be advisable.

I just installed one on a 30" drawer that holds a lot of silverware. It's heavy enough that i was concerned one wouldn't be enough, but it works as it should.

also... if you install it upside down, there is no lip to hold the TP roll when you pull it. the roll will slide right off the bar as you pull it, and the roll will then probably scatter across the floor at the most inopportune moment when you are sitting there and not really in a position (literally) to go scramble after and catch it. if you install it upside down... it would likely be a disaster of epic proportions!

It has to be a completely smooth surface and it will only take a limited amount of pressure. If you are going to pull yourself up you should have regular grab bars installed. This one is meant only to steady one's self.

I just tried to place an unopened roll of Bounty Select a Size 129-2 ply sheets and it laid on top but didn't fit inside. I don't think it would work with a dowel. Plus, the basket, itself, is pretty light. I think it would lift up every time you tried to grab a paper towel. I think if you went with the medium size, and put a weighted object in the bottom of the basket, it would work. I hope this is helpful. :]

We just installed this toilet paper holder and love it. We purchased it because we liked the contemporary style and the strong look of it. It would hold a large roll of toilet paper, I'm sure. Our rolls do not fall off but I guess it would be possible if you pulled on the roll in a hurry. We mounted all of our accessories using 50 pound drywall and stud anchors from Home Depot because they are stronger than the ones that come with bath accessories.

This should work with any wipe, since the part you grab from is a weight and it goes down to the next wipe, instead of having to make sure the wipes flow up.
