Before You Begin:

Important Information

• The Rail Kits with structural inserts include shorter

spindles to accommodate the structural insert in the top rail.

If you are working with multiple rail kits, do not mix the spindles

between kits.

• The 10' Rail Kits should NOT be attached directly to the 4" Complete Post

Kit or Post Sleeve. The 10' Rail Kits should only be attached directly to the

supporting construction. (i.e. support column or wall)

• The mounting brackets and covers included in this kit are designed for stair

applications with a 30 - 40° slope.

• To meet residential building codes, both Square and Colonial Spindles are

spaced a nominal 3

" apart.

• No finishing is required. Painting QuickRail products is NOT recommended and

will void the warranty.

• A full line of additional QuickRail accessories is available to complement the

Stair Rail Kit and is sold separately.

Installation

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).

Lay the bottom rail on the stair tread with the spindle holes facing up. Allow the rail

to extend past the mounting surface at the top and bottom of the stairs. 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 (Figure 2).

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 where it crosses the mounting surface. 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 and angle (Figure 3).

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 and angle as the bottom rail

(Figure 4).

Locate the two bottom rail mounting brackets.

Note: There is a difference between the

mounting brackets. The top brackets are shorter and wider than the bottom brackets

(Figure 5). Using eight of the 1

" 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 (Figure 6). 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 7 1 Stair Rail Kit Installation Instructions - Continued - 2" If the Stair Kit comes with a crush block, it should be trimmed at this time. The height of the crush block will need to be determined by the installer. 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.
