Supplies and Tools:
Acrylic caulking (around towel bars)
Phillip screwdriver
Metal anchors 3/8 by 2 in. (75 lb. rating)
Mr. Bothem home is located in
Upland,
California.
Mr Bothem had purchased new custom bronze towel bars from a designer studio for his master bathroom. Mr.
Bothem stated that the bar were on the floor after the football party.
We talked and we believed that maybe the bar was used for an exercise equipment rather than holding a towel.
Coincidentally the towel was gone from the bathroom area and never found. It was decided it was time re-attached the towel bar.
This post shows the nine steps to re-install the custom bronze towel bar in the master bathroom.
Step 1: Fig.1 shows the towel
mounting post and
metal flange that was pulled out of the wall.
Step 2: Fig.2 shows below an
Allen wrench unscrewing the
Allen screw from the mounting flange.
