We are getting old and need a grab bar in the shower stall. The walls

standard studs (standard construction).

How can I located the studs under the tiles in order to fasten the
bar securely? My little magnet gizmo for finding nails in the
wallboard does not seem to work through the layer of tiles. My
clairvoyance is also not working today. :-)

Once I know where the studs are, I can drill holes through the tiles
with a carbide drill and use lag screws to fasten the grab bar.

Thanks


I thought I saw suction cup grips on TV once or twice.

Uh, not only no but Hell No. You do not use suction cups for anything
where injury can result when (not if, when) they fail. Better to have NO
grab bar, than a bar you can't trust.

If OP can't work out how to do it on their own, they should hire somebody.
