What Do You Call These Where You Are From?![]() I'm going to be registering a domain name about these so I want to make sure I use the most common description for them. What do you call these where you are from? |

Re: What Do You Call These Where You Are From?
i have used two names and have equally heard both names. "grab bars" and "hand rails"
edit: Mike, i hear professionals use grab bars more often than handrails and conversely, homeowners using hand rails. Last edited by Scott Young; 09-18-2006 at 01:34 PM. |

Re: What Do You Call These Where You Are From?
The actual item sold as Durable Medical Equipment (aka DME) and is universally known as a "Grab Bar". Any other name is laymen's terminology.

Re: What Do You Call These Where You Are From?
A ladder for kids to climb. Grab bars around here. Maybe you should check with your market (seniors and disabled ?) to see what they refer to them as.
"When your just to drunk to shower without a little support- get Mike's grab bars" "when your old and a little less bold install a grab bar so you don't fall in the mold" My marketing ideas are free for a reason. |

Re: What Do You Call These Where You Are From?
If they are from 24" to 48" then I call them Grab Bars.
I used to have the ADA book, but it was lost. If they are from 4" to 6" then I call them Cabinet Handles. |

Re: What Do You Call These Where You Are From?
Grab bars by everyone in the industry but I've heard customers call them handicap rails or handicap bars.

Re: What Do You Call These Where You Are From?

Re: What Do You Call These Where You Are From?
Thanks, I figured grab bars was the one to go with, but everytime in the past when I went with what I thought it was, sure enough I get proven wrong, I figured this time I would make sure.

Re: What Do You Call These Where You Are From?
"pieces of metal or plastic that are curved and attached to a flat surface, and that are meant to be grabbed and pulled".com
How's that for a domain name? |
