Product Description
Offset All Your Worries
The Classic Offset railing is a perfect fit for your steps that provides a smooth and sturdy handrail from top to bottom.
The Classic Offset design will allow you to mount your railing into the ground and provide space from the wall and the posts. The offset design also assists with being able to reach the railing so you can install the posts further toward the edges of your steps.
There is an additional step with installation with this kit. You must drill two holes into the handrail on the underside where the fitting attaches to the railing. This job can simply be done with any regular hand drill.

Frequently Asked Questions
What tools do I need?
You will receive an allen key with your railing kit that can be used to connect the pipe and fittings. We recommend using a hammer or rubber mallet to secure the malleable plug to the ends of the handrail and a standard drill or a hammer drill if you will be attaching your railing to concrete or brick.How do I calculate my handrail length?
This simple way to do this is to have someone stand at the bottom of the steps holding the end of the measuring tape. Walk to the top of the stairs while each of you hold the measuring tape 3 feet off the ground. Record the length when you have positioned the ends where you want the railing to begin and end. In most cases, estimating to the nearest foot works great. Tip: Longer is better. Your handrail can be cut shorter if needed before install. The mathematical way of calculating would be to measure the rise and run of the steps and then calculate the length of the railing by the following formula: Railing Length = √ height2 + length2. The square root of the height squared plus the length squared will give you the proper length of your railing.How do I assemble the railing?
