Metlam Click-Lock Drop Down Grab Rail Peened Stainless Steel

Description

Hands are not always dry in a bathroom, and that is when a smooth rail is hardest to hold. The Metlam Click-Lock Drop Down Peened Grab Rail has a peened grip section that gives extra grip for wet hands, on a folding rail that locks upright when it is not needed. Lower it beside the toilet for support when sitting and standing, then click it back up to clear the space for wheelchair transfers. It suits aged care homes, hospitals, rehabilitation units and accessible home bathrooms.

The rail is made from grade 304 stainless steel with 32mm x 1.2mm grab rail tubing and seamless welds. Its finish is satin stainless steel with a peened grip section, where the textured surface gives extra grip for wet hands. It is surface mounted with visible fixings, and the universal design suits left hand or right hand installation, so one product covers either side of the pan. The click-lock system holds the rail upright until it is lowered by hand.

Choosing a grab rail

Grab rails give support where people sit, stand and turn: beside the toilet, inside the shower and next to the bath. Straight rails suit ambulant cubicles, showers and general support. 90 degree rails combine a horizontal and a vertical grip for sitting down and getting up. Drop down rails fold out of the way so an accessible toilet stays clear for wheelchair transfers. Accessible and ambulant toilets in Australian public and commercial buildings are designed to AS 1428.1, which sets rail positions, a 30 to 40mm tube diameter and the gap between rail and wall.

Fixing matters as much as the rail. Concealed-fix flanges hide the screws for a neater, tamper-resistant finish, and every rail must go into studs, noggins or solid masonry that can carry the load. Satin stainless steel is the hard-wearing standard for hospitals, aged care, schools and offices; matte black suits homes and boutique commercial fit-outs where the rail should look like part of the design.
