Attach handrail to pocket door
Safety rail in my bathroom
Assistance stepping into and out of shower.
Buy:
Real #12 x 2" stainless screw
#10 x 2" stainless screw
#10 x 2-1/2" stainless screw
Heavy duty curtain rod bracket
Curtain rod bracket




Attach handrail to pocket door: details
2x2 treated yellow pine, sanded, stained, varnished.
Very strong, can support my full weight 225 lbs at shower and middle handrail bracket, but might not support same weight at the door, since pocket door fame is not structural like a 2x4.
Rail can be used for exercise/ towel rack/ hang bathmat or small rug after washing. Assistance getting up off floor, and stepping into and out of shower.
Soap and shampoo holder screwed into handrail using stainless fender washer and screw.

Rail runs from tub-shower to doorway.
Left end of 2x2 extends into doorway for hanging damp towel, but can be cut shorter.

Farthest 2 handrail brackets are screwed into 2x4 frame. Drill through shower tile with masonry bit to attach bracket using stainless screws.
To drive screws tight, and ensure no rust over time, avoid stainless-coated pot metal screws from local box store. Pay the money and use real stainless.
Buy:
Real #12 x 2" stainless screw
100 pack #10 x 2" stainless screw
50 pack #10 x 2-1/2" stainless screw

Center bracket spaced away from wall using piece of oak from old pallet
Oak planed to thickness, sanded and stained
Center handrail bracket is slightly higher than other two, so center of rail is slightly higher
This trick gives visual illusion of strong construction
