How do I order a custom length?

Pick the next size up from your measurement, then type the exact length in the custom length box before adding to cart. For example, choose 36 inches and enter 34 for a 34-inch rail.

Is it suitable for outdoor porch stairs?

Yes. The matte black finish is rated for exterior use and the steel is coated against rust. It is built for both indoor and outdoor stairs.

What is included with the handrail?

The steel rail cut to your length, square L brackets, self-tapping screws and lag bolts for wood mounting. The number of brackets scales with the length.

Does it meet code requirements?

It is sold as code-compliant, with 1.5 inches of wall clearance and 3 inches of total projection. Check your local code for required height and bracket spacing.

Can I mount it on concrete or brick?

The included lag bolts are for wood. For masonry you will need appropriate anchors, which are not in the box.

How does the square profile compare with a round rail?

Square gives a flatter, firmer grip and a more modern look. Round tube is easier on the hand, especially on long or steep runs.
