Customer Reviews

The Brantford line is nicely finished and just the right scale for a smaller bathroom-the hardware doesn't stick out from the wall as much as some other designs do, so it's great for putting behind a door, for example. If you purchase this, however, you should be aware that its mounting hardware is the newer Moen Pro-Fit design that is intended to make installation easier for contractors, but is (from my experience) a lot of trouble for homeowners. Rather than being fastened with the tiny set screw that holds most fixtures to their mountings, these fixtures snap onto a mounting that is supposed to be fastened to the wall with just one traditional wall anchor that is included and that may or may not be the correct size for your drywall. Some strength is required to snap the pieces on, by the way, and the towel bar/paper roll assemblies are such that the two end mountings must be perfectly lined up for this. I ordered five pieces without knowing this. I installed the towel ring first, but had to remove it from the wall, as it was far from stable when installed using the supplied hardware and carefully following the installation instructions. I eventually decided to remove the wall anchors and rotation prevention tips that were attached to the brackets and use some E-Z Anchor wall anchors with shorter screws, and, for the solid door-mounted hooks, just some screws, instead. That worked much better. To remove the fixtures from their mountings, a small screwdriver may be inserted into the slot into which the mounting tab has snapped, to pry the tab and release the fixture base.

I was very disappointed in the installation. I have to mount a bracket on a wall and then the towel ring snaps over a piece of plastic. The first install didn't stay on the wall and now I can't get the two pieces apart. I suspect that I'm stuck with something that I'll have to break to get apart which means I can't try to install it again.
I'll be buying something else to replace this.
