FAQs

What is the total length of the rail included in the box?

The kit includes three 1.2m sections, totaling 3.6 meters of rail.

Does this kit come with wall fixings?

Yes, the kit includes a pack of screws designed for a hassle-free installation.

Can I use this rail for outdoor steps?

This product is designed for indoor use. Using it outdoors may lead to rapid deterioration of the timber.

Can the rails be cut to a shorter length?

Yes, the timber mopstick rails can be cut to fit your specific staircase length using a standard wood saw.

Are the connectors made of metal or plastic?

The connectors are designed to be durable and are finished to complement the brown timber rail aesthetic.

How many intermediate connectors are included?

The kit comes with two intermediate connectors to join the three 1.2m rail sections.

Troubleshooting

The handrail feels loose after installation

Verify that the screws have been driven into solid studs or that appropriate heavy-duty wall anchors were used for masonry walls.

Rail sections do not align perfectly

Ensure the wall surface is plumb and check that the intermediate connectors are seated firmly and leveled before fully tightening the mounting screws.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comprehensive kit contains all required mounting hardware
  • Ergonomic mopstick profile for secure gripping
  • Straightforward installation process for DIYers
  • High-quality timber finish suitable for most interior designs

Cons

  • Fixed rail segments may require modification for non-standard stair lengths
  • Requires basic knowledge of wall stud location for mounting

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting installation, ensure you have a stud finder, a level, a drill, and a screwdriver.

  1. Planning: Determine the optimal height for your handrail according to local building codes.
  2. Marking: Use a level to draw a straight line along the wall where the rail will sit and identify the mounting points.
  3. Assembly: Attach the connectors to the ends and intermediate sections of the mopstick rails.
  4. Fixing: Secure the rail assembly to the wall, ensuring that the screws penetrate into solid structural wood or use appropriate wall anchors for masonry.

Care Instructions: To maintain the appearance of the timber, dust regularly with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the finish; a wood-friendly furniture polish can be used periodically to maintain the luster.
