Abstract
A towel bar attachable to bypass style shower doors. The towel bar has a support bar with two ends engaged with flanged escutcheons. The support bar and escutcheons are located at one side of a door with the escutcheons covering suitably sized and spaced apertures in the door. Two flanged fasteners are inserted into the door apertures from an opposite side of the door to mate with the bar ends. Tightening the fastener biases the flanges toward opposite surfaces of the door to secure the towel bar to the door. The fasteners each have a recessed grip defining handles for sliding the door from the side opposite that from which the bar projects.
