Frequently Asked Handrail Questions

Should the handrail be on the right or left?

Many state building codes only require that residential handrails be present on one side of the staircase. Handrail coverage on both sides of your stairs is a good thing, but it's generally not required. Put your handrail on the side that makes you most comfortable when going up and down.

How many steps can you take without a handrail?

Building code varies from state to state. Most say that any set of stairs with three or more risers requires a handrail on at least one side. Ultimately the most important thing is that you and your loved ones feel safe going up and down your steps. You may have an aging mother whose house has a single step down to the driveway. She may need a railing to feel safe even if a handrail is not required in the code.

Are handrails required for exterior steps?

Most states and some insurance companies require that exterior steps with more than three risers have a handrail. You may find that a handrail gives those with mobility challenges the confidence they need, even if a railing is not required.

How thick should a handrail be?

General ADA code requires that the grabrail be at least 1 1/4 inch but no more than 2 inches thick. All of our Simple Rail kits come with grabrails that meet this code exactly.

Do you need two handrails for stairs?

For residential applications, handrails are only required on one side by most code authorities. Choose the side of your steps that is the most convenient and makes you feel safe as you are going up and down your stairs.

It was getting more and more difficult for my Mom to go from her family room to her patio where she loves to sit and drink her coffee every morning. We put in one of your simple railing kits and now she can manage the steps with confidence. She is thrilled to have the railing in place and it feels very secure to her. Everything worked well during the installation. I'm very satisfied with this solution to our problem.

Timothy from Minnesota

After my father died a little over a year ago, my mother was adamant in her desire to continue living alone on their 80-acre farm. Since then, my brothers and I have been working on projects around the house that will help her keep her independence, but live safely at the same time. We installed handrails out her back door, which had not been present before the task was undertaken. The job was a snap, and the Kee Klamp and Kee Lite fittings were the perfect fit for this job. The pictures show the completed job and our happy 86 year-old mother.

The rail was for my mother who has difficulty navigating steps. I installed the rail in the center of the steps. That way she can use the hand of her choice. I painted the rail with a black hammer finish. It looks great and is super strong. Thank you for a great product!

Mike

My elderly father was visiting and fell as he tried to go outside to our backyard. We clearly needed a sturdy handrail. This was the best solution ever. It shipped fast, was very reasonably priced and the quality exceeded our expectation. Very strong and sturdy. Thank you for making such a quality product.
