Step 6: Locate the crush block and cut to the proper length. The formula for
determining the correct crush block length is: Desired clearance from bottom rail
to mounting surface + 3

" = length of crush block. Note: Spindle lengths are sized
for a traditional 2" clearance from bottom rail to mounting surface. Once the block is
trimmed, insert it into the pre-cut hole on the underside of the bottom rail (Figure 6).
Step 7: Slide a rail bracket cover onto each end of the bottom rail and attach the
bottom rail to the bottom rail mounting brackets, making sure the rail sits on the
resting flanges. Install two of the supplied 1" long Phillips stainless steel pan head
screws into each mounting bracket (1 on each side) in the middle slot of the bracket.
The screws should be located as close to the radius end of the slot as possible,
which is approximately
1

" from the end of the rail. Note: If using a cordless drill, be
careful not to strip the screws. Slide the covers toward the post until they snap on to
the mounting brackets. An audible “click” should be heard, signifying that the covers
are now secure (Figure 7).
Step 8: To determine the location of the top rail mounting brackets, insert two
spindles in the bottom rail, one at each end of the pre-cut holes. Slide a top rail
mounting bracket on each end of the top rail so that the rail sets on the resting flange.
Place the top rail on the spindles, inserting the two spindles into the respective pre-
cut holes. Push down on the top rail to make sure it is resting securely on top of
the spindles. Before marking the locations of the mounting brackets, make sure the
spindles are plumb and the top rail is level. Using a pencil, mark the location of the
mounting brackets so they can be attached to the mounting surface. Remove the
top rail, rail mounting brackets, and spindles, and then secure the brackets to the
mounting surface using eight of the 1

supplied and the marks made previously (Figure 8).
Step 9: Insert all of the spindles into the pre-cut holes in the bottom rail.
Step 10: Slide a rail bracket cover on each end of the top rail. Place the top rail
on the spindles, inserting the spindles one at a time while holding the top rail at an
upward angle. Once all of the spindles are inserted into the top rail, it should be
resting on the top rail mounting bracket resting flanges (Figure 9).
Step 11: Install four of the supplied 1" long Phillips stainless steel pan head screws
into each mounting bracket (2 on each side) in the top and bottom slots of the
brackets. The screws should be located as close to the radius end of the slot as
possible, which is approximately
1

" from the end of the rail. Slide the covers towards
the mounting plates until they snap onto the mounting plates. An audible “click”
should be heard, signifying that the covers are now secure (Figure 10).
