Installing a bathroom towel bar is simple to do, although there are a few issues to watch out for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">First, it is important to ensure proper spacing between the two towel bar side mounts. If the spacing is too wide, the towel bar won\u2019t be able to stay locked in between the two side mounts.\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">If the spacing is too narrow, you won\u2019t be able to fit the towel bar in between the side mounts. Also, it is important to make sure that the towel bar side mounts are level with each other and the bathroom floor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Though it is not critical that the towel bar side mounts be fastened into wall studs, it is preferable, at least on one side of the towel bar.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">To install a towel bar, begin by making a pencil mark on the bathroom wall approximately 30 inches off of the bathroom floor. This mark will represent the center height of the towel bar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Next, most towel bars have a template for marking the specific locations for mounting the towel bar side mount brackets. Position one side of the template so that it is centered over the pencil mark you made on the wall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Now, on the other side of the template, make another pencil mark in the center of the opening.\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"47%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4724\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Towel_Bar-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"How to install a towel bar.\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Towel_Bar-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Towel_Bar.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Make sure, however, that the template is level with the floor when making your pencil mark.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The best way to do this is to place a level over the template when positioning the template up against the bathroom wall. Position the level and template so that they are both level, and then make your pencil mark.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Next center one of the towel bar mounting brackets over one of the pencil marks, and mark two additional marks on the bathroom wall, in the two openings of the mounting bracket. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">These marks represent the locations for where the screws will go through the mounting bracket. Repeat the process on the other side of the towel bar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Now, if not planning to mount the towel bar over a wall stud, use a drill and a \u00bc\u201d or 5\/16\u201d drill bit, and drill pilot holes into the wall at the pencil mark locations targeted for the towel bar mounting bracket screws.<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"49%\"><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/bathroom-remodeling-bid-sheet\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4433 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Bathroom_Remodeling_Bid_Sheet_Cover-Page-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Bathroom Remodeling Bid Sheet\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Bathroom_Remodeling_Bid_Sheet_Cover-Page-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Bathroom_Remodeling_Bid_Sheet_Cover-Page-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Bathroom_Remodeling_Bid_Sheet_Cover-Page.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Next, use a hammer and carefully tap the plastic folded wall anchors into the drywall so that they are flush with the bathroom wall surface.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Then fasten the towel bar mounting brackets to the wall using the screws provided with the towel bar kit.

Simply fasten the mounting bracket to the wall making sure the screws penetrate into the wall studs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Next, place one of the towel bar side mounts over a side mounting bracket, and snug it down to the bracket by tightening the small set screw.\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"1%\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"49%\">\n<div style=\"background: url('http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/images\/Bathroom_Remodel_Ad_300x250.jpg') no-repeat top; margin-left: 10px; height: 250px; width: 300px;\">\n<form action=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/UHI-info\/Bathroom-Remodeling-Contractor-Quotes.htm#form\" method=\"get\"><input style=\"width: 112px; height: 30px; margin: 180px 160px 0px 0px;\" name=\"PC\" size=\"20\" type=\"text\" \/><br \/>\n<input style=\"float: right; background: url('http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/images\/homeadditionplus-btn-next.gif'); height: 34px; width: 93px; border: 0px solid #000000; ; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 80px; margin-top: -33px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" type=\"submit\" value=\"\" \/><\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">A single set screw should be located on the bottom side of the towel bar side mount, and will most likely require a small Allan wrench to tighten it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Finally, place one end of the towel bar into the slot of the installed towel bar side mount, and then position the other end of the towel bar into the other loose side mount.
