What if my wall is drywall?

Is the handrail rust-resistant?

Troubleshooting

Handrail feels unstable after installation.

Check that the wall brackets are securely mounted to the wall. Ensure the correct screws and wall plugs were used for the wall material. Tighten any loose screws.

Handrail is too long.

Double-check the measurements and cut the handrail to the correct length using a hacksaw or jigsaw. Ensure the cut is clean and even.

Difficulty in cutting the handrail.

Use a fine-tooth blade on your hacksaw or jigsaw for a cleaner cut. Secure the tube firmly during cutting to prevent it from moving.

The screws won't stay in the wall.
