How do I calculate the correct rod length?

Troubleshooting
Rod does not fit securely
Ensure the brackets are firmly attached to the staircase. Check if alternative screws are needed for your specific stair material. Verify the rod length is correctly measured and cut.
Stair runner is still loose
Confirm the stair runner itself is securely fitted to the stairs. The rods are designed to hold an already secure runner in place, not to fix a loose one.
Difficulty cutting the rod to size
Use a sturdy metal hacksaw and ensure the rod is securely clamped before cutting. A smooth, even cut is best.
Matt black finish is scratched or damaged
Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials. For minor scratches, assess if they are cosmetic. For significant damage, replacement of the rod may be necessary.
