Installation Guide

2.10: Slide bottom rail over installed brackets, ﬁ tting rail snug to posts.

Approximately 1/2" from end of post, pre-drill through rail and bracket

with 1/8" drill bit. Drive the provided #10 x 1" screw through the top of the

bottom rail into bottom bracket.

3.1: For 1-1/8" square balusters:

Cut balusters with miter saw, top and bottom, to same angle as the

bottom rail cut.

3.2: For 3/4" round aluminum stair balusters: the top & bottom ends of the

balusters are already cut to a 32 degree angle. For severe angles trim the

bottom of your aluminum stair baluster to appropriate angle. (Top end will

be hidden in top rail)

3.3: Slide balusters over the previously installed baluster plugs.

Each baluster should be straight up, parallel to the posts and ﬂ ush to the

bottom rail.

4.1: Measure distance between top of installed posts. As long as posts are

plumb, the distance will equal the distance at the bottom. This will be the

top rail distance.

4.2: To determine chassis length, insert lower bracket into one end of chassis.

Then place chassis on stair treads with the lower bracket against the

lower post. Using the upper bracket as template, mark the chassis where it

needs to be cut to ﬁ t between the posts. Cut chassis to length.

NOTE: Do not cut chassis at an angle

4.3: Clamp top rail and baluster spacer along the sides of the posts, so that the

distance between the post to the ﬁ rst routed hole is equal on both ends

Mark angled line on top rail assembly at intersection.

4.4: Cut top rail and baluster spacer to proper length and angle with miter saw.

4.5: Plug in top stair brackets to chassis.

2.11: Re-install bottom baluster spacer

2.12: Install baluster plugs into the holes of the bottom baluster spacer. Push

each plug through the routed hole until you hear a snap, repeat until every

hole is ﬁ lled with a plug.

Installing The Balusters

Prepare The Top Rail

TIP: When miter cutting balusters make sure to

start cut at top edge of baluster to maximize length

and ensure consistent cuts between balusters.

TIP: Ensure proper ﬁ t by cutting a test piece of wood to

the previously determined length and angle to ﬁ t into the

opening between the posts.
