Need Something You Don’t See on BestGrabBars?
Have you found a grab bar you like, but need it in a different size, color, finish, or configuration? Or perhaps you’re looking for a bathroom safety product that isn’t currently listed on our website? The BestGrabBars Special Orders Program may be able to help. The products shown on BestGrabBars primarily represent the products and configurations we currently have available in stock. However, we may be able to supply a wider variety of grab bars, sizes, colors, finishes, and configurations than what is shown in our online shop.
If you have something specific in mind, send us a special order request. Our team will review your request and provide an estimated price and lead time based on the product and customization you’re looking for. Depending on the complexity of the item, production can take as little as five business days or as long as six weeks. Lead times can vary based on product size, finish, customization, availability, and manufacturing requirements. The best way to find out what we can provide and how long it will take is to send us a request.
Why Special Order a Grab Bar?
Every bathroom is different. Wall dimensions, shower layouts, toilet locations, accessibility requirements, and personal preferences can all affect which grab bar is right for a particular space. This can be especially important when planning a bathroom for aging in place. A standard grab bar may not always provide the size or configuration needed for a particular bathroom. Depending on the product, a special order may allow you to request:
- A different grab bar size
- A different color or finish
- A different configuration
- Any modification to an existing product
- A product that isn’t currently listed on our website
- Certain custom products designed around specific requirements
Not every product can be customized, and available options depend on the specific product, materials, manufacturer, and requested changes. However, if you have a specific idea, we’re happy to review it.
Custom Grab Bars in Different Sizes and Configurations
One of the most common reasons customers request a special order is to find a grab bar in a size or configuration that isn’t currently shown online. For example, you may find a straight grab bar with the style and finish you want, but the available lengths don’t work for your space. You may also need an L-shaped or multi-wall grab bar with dimensions that differ from the standard options. Depending on the product, additional sizes and configurations may be available through a special order.
When requesting a custom size, provide your desired dimensions in inches whenever possible. If the grab bar is intended for a particular bathroom layout, include any measurements that may be important to the installation. If you’re unsure which measurements are needed, simply describe the space and what you’re trying to accomplish. Our team can follow up with questions if necessary.
ADA Grab Bars and Accessibility
Grab bars are an important part of many accessible and aging-in-place bathrooms. If you’re looking for ADA grab bars for a commercial or residential project, tell us about your requirements when submitting your request. Keep in mind that a special-order product is not automatically ADA compliant. ADA requirements can depend on the product, mounting location, installation method, and applicable accessibility standards.
If your project has specific ADA or accessibility requirements, provide those details with your request. This will help our team determine which products or configurations may be appropriate.
Special Order Colors, Finishes, and Designer Grab Bars
Bathroom safety products don’t have to look out of place in your home. Many homeowners want their grab bars to coordinate with their faucets, shower fixtures, tile, cabinetry, and other bathroom features. This can be particularly important when selecting designer grab bars for a residential bathroom.
Stainless steel and vinyl-coated grab bars are among our most common options, but additional colors and finishes may be available depending on the product. If you find a grab bar you like but want it in a different color or finish, include that information in your special order request. If you don’t know the exact name of the finish, describe what you’re looking for and provide as much information as possible.
Can I Special Order a Product That Isn’t on the Website?
Yes!
If you’re searching for a bathroom safety product that you don’t see on BestGrabBars, you can still contact us to see whether it may be available as a special order. You don’t necessarily need to know the exact product name or SKU. Simply describe what you’re looking for, where you plan to use it, the size, preferred material or finish, and any features that are important to you.
For example, if you’re looking for a custom shower grab bar, tell us the approximate length you need, where it will be installed, the preferred finish, and any other requirements. The more information you provide, the easier it is for our team to understand your request. We will work with you to find or make a product that will work best for your home.
Can You Customize an Existing Product?
Yes!
Our Special Orders Program can include modifications to products that already exist on our website. Depending on the product, typical changes or accommodations we can make include:
- Size
- Color
- Finish
- Configuration
- Other product features
Some modifications may be relatively straightforward, while others may require additional manufacturing or may not be available. If you are looking for other changes to a product, reach out to us and let us know what you’re looking for. We will work with you to modify the product in a way that works best for you. If you’re interested in modifying an existing product, provide the product name or SKU along with a description of the changes you’d like to make.
Can You Create a Completely New Product?
We’re also happy to review requests for products that aren’t currently listed on our website. If you have something specific in mind, describe what you need and what you want the product to accomplish. You don’t need to know exactly how the product should be manufactured.
Completely custom products can require more time and may have additional limitations compared with modifications to existing products. Feasibility, pricing, and production time depend on the complexity of the request and the availability of the necessary materials and manufacturing options. Our team may contact you with additional questions before determining whether your request can be fulfilled.
How Long Do Special Orders Take?
Special order lead times vary depending on the product and customization. Production can take as little as five business days or as long as six weeks. Estimated lead times may be affected by the complexity of what you’re looking for, as well as the number of modifications requested. In cases of fully custom products, it will almost always take six weeks or more to produce the custom product before sending it to you.
These are estimated production times rather than guaranteed turnaround times. If you have a deadline, mention it when submitting your request. While we cannot guarantee that every special order can meet a particular deadline, knowing your timeline can help us provide the most useful information possible.
How Does the Special Order Process Work?
1. Submit Your Request
Tell us what you’re looking for and provide as much information as possible, including the product name, SKU, size, color or finish, configuration, and any other important details.
2. Our Team Reviews Your Request
We’ll review the product and requested customization to determine what options may be available.
3. We May Ask Follow-Up Questions
Some requests require additional information before we can provide an accurate price or lead time. If we need clarification, we’ll contact you by email.
4. Receive an Estimated Price and Lead Time
Once we have enough information, we’ll provide an estimated price and production lead time for the requested product.
5. Decide Whether It’s Right for You
With the available options, estimated price, and expected production time in hand, you can decide whether the special order works for your project.
Special Orders for Aging in Place
Special orders can be especially useful when planning a bathroom for seniors, aging in place, accessibility, and long-term safety. As homeowners plan to remain in their homes longer, bathrooms may need to accommodate changing mobility needs. Grab bars can provide support around showers, bathtubs, toilets, and other areas where additional stability may be helpful.
However, every bathroom is different. A custom size or configuration may make it easier to incorporate grab bars into an existing space while maintaining the bathroom’s overall design. For homeowners who want accessibility without sacrificing appearance, designer grab bars can also provide an option that complements the surrounding bathroom. If you’re planning an aging-in-place renovation, consider working with a qualified contractor, designer, occupational therapist, or other professional who can help determine appropriate products and placement for your specific needs.
