Troubleshooting
Bracket feels loose after installation
Ensure the correct wall anchors for your wall type were used and tightened securely. Check that the screws attaching the handrail to the bracket are also firmly in place.
Polished brass finish appears dull or tarnished
Clean the bracket with a soft cloth. If tarnish persists, use a specialized brass cleaner sparingly and follow product instructions, then polish with a soft cloth. Ensure the area is dry.
Difficulty aligning fixing holes
Measure and mark mounting points accurately before drilling. Use a spirit level to ensure the bracket is installed straight. If necessary, use a template or the bracket itself to mark holes precisely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: This bracket is designed for wall mounting. Ensure you have appropriate wall anchors suitable for your wall type (e.g., drywall, masonry). Align the bracket's wall fixing plate (55mm diameter) with your desired location, mark the fixing holes, and secure it firmly to the wall. Subsequently, attach your handrail to the rail fixing plate (46x21mm) using suitable screws. Ensure all connections are secure before use.
Compatibility: While designed for general handrail support, compatibility depends on the handrail's profile and the wall's structural integrity. The bracket is intended for use with handrails that can be securely fastened to its rail fixing plate. Always ensure the wall can support the intended load.
Care: To maintain the polished brass finish, clean regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap, then dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
