Installation Guide

This guide outlines installation methods for installing stair railing in a variety of angles.

It is very important to identify the angle of your stairs, as the installation methods vary depending on

what angle the stair is.

Within the following steps, be sure to pay close attention to the placement and utilization of the "stair

angle template" to ensure you mark and cut your rails correctly, and note orientation of all brackets

and railing in the supporting images.

Closely follow Post Install Kit installation instructions

or use a Post Jacket on an existing wood post.

Temporarily secure a deck board (5/4") to your stair

treads to determine the spacing between the nose of

the stairs and your bottom rail (Fig. 1).

Place bottom rail on board and center the routes

between posts making sure to leave equal distance

from baluster route to post on both top and bottom.

Mark the bottom rail using inside edge of posts (Fig. 2).

Measure angle – take rail to chop saw and measure

angle (Fig. 3). Set saw and record angle.

NOTE:

Do not cut here. This is for acquiring

measurements.

• If angle is 31º-33°, then go to Step 5

• If angle is <31°, then skip Step 5 and proceed

to Step 6

• If angle is >33°, then skip Step 5 and 6, and

proceed to Step 7
