EZ Round Handrail Step-by-Step Installation
EZ Handrail’s versatility allows for many different types of installations. Therefore, the following
step-by-step instructions are separated into two sections:
1. Single EZ Handrail attached to a stairwell wall.
2. Mutiple EZ Handrails attached to existing or EZ Posts incorporating multiple handrail
components and connections. This is a more complex handrail system.
Please refer to the instruction set below that best matches your installation:
Single EZ Round Handrail Assembly and Wall Installation
1. Determine handrail installation location.
2. Determine stud or secure mounting location for wall brackets.
3. On the ground, layout handrail and wall brackets to ensure you will
achieve your desired look and symmetry once the handrail is installed.
4. Starting with the upper most wall bracket (high end of handrail), measure
from the nose of your stair tread up the wall 34” – 38” and using the wall
bracket as a guide, make a pencil mark where the wall bracket fastener is
to be installed.
5. Drill a 1/8” pilot hole into the wall for the wall bracket fastener.
Important: Ensure your pilot hole is hitting a solid mounting surface (e.g.
a stud behind the drywall)!!! Hint: If you are searching for a stud, using a
smaller drill bit as it leaves less repairs for later.
6. Loosely attach wall bracket to your mounting surface (wall) with the
appropriate included fastener.
7. Set the handrail on the upper wall bracket (while supporting the other
end) and again check for desired look and symmetry.
8. Cut (size) the handrail if necessary. REMEMBER, BEFORE MAKING YOUR
CUT THAT ALL WALL BRACKETS MUST ATTACH TO A SOLID MOUNTING
SURFACE (STUD).
9. With the handrail in place on the upper wall bracket (and supporting the
other end) drill 1/8” pilot holes through the bracket and into the handrail.
Important: Make sure the handrail is seated properly when drilling the
holes!
10. Loosely fasten handrail to the wall bracket using the 1” Phillips head
fasteners provided.
11. Next, move to the lowest wall bracket (low end of handrail), measure
