Installation
Step 1: Measure the inside opening between the mounting surfaces to verify that
the opening is not wider than the length of the rails provided (Figure 1).
Step 2: Locate the rail with a single routed hole in the center of one side. Lay this
bottom rail beside the mounting surface with the single routed hole facing the ground
and the spindle holes facing up (Figure 2).
Step 3: Align the rail between the mounting surfaces, placing the first spindle hole
on each end of the rail the same distance from the mounting surface. Note: Should
the spindle holes fall inside or directly beside a mounting surface, slide the rail in
either direction to align spindle holes evenly between mounting surfaces. When
properly positioned, mark both ends of the bottom rail. Make another mark

" in
toward the center of the rail from each mark made previously. Using this second set
of marks, cut the rail to length (Figure 3).
Step 4: To mark the top rail, lay it beside the bottom rail, align the spindle holes,
and mark both ends of the rail. Cut the top rail to the same length as the bottom rail
(Figure 4).
Step 5: Locate two rail mounting brackets. Using eight of the 1

" Phillips stainless
steel pan head screws supplied, install the two bottom rail mounting brackets onto
each mounting surface with the resting flange 2" from the mounting surface if using
traditional 2" clearance. If the mounting brackets are being mounted on posts, they
should be centered on the posts. Note: If using a cordless drill to attach the brackets
to the mounting surface, be careful not to strip the screws (Figure 5).
