Installation Instructions continued Step 5: Note! To ensure the balusters are installed plumb, the holes between the rail sections must all be aligned. Tip: Use a gauge pin or a 3/32" drill bit to ensure the holes are aligned. Using the trimmed lower rail as a guide, set the upper inner rail for the system on top of the trimmed bottom rail and align the pre-drilled holes. Mark the cut lines on the inner rail with a pencil.
