Troubleshooting

Bracket feels loose after installation

Check that all screws are fully tightened into the wall and the handrail. If installed on plasterboard, ensure appropriate wall plugs or anchors are used for sufficient grip. Consider using stronger fixings if the wall material is soft.

Handrail is not level

Adjust the position of the bracket on the wall or ensure the handrail itself is straight. Minor adjustments may be possible by slightly loosening the bracket screws, repositioning, and retightening.

Surface finish is scratched

Minor scratches can sometimes be buffed out with a metal polish suitable for silver-toned finishes, but proceed with caution. For significant damage, replacement of the bracket might be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation is designed to be straightforward. Ensure you have the included screws. Mark the desired position on the wall and the underside of the handrail. Drill pilot holes if necessary, especially in harder wall materials. Secure the bracket to the wall first, then attach the handrail to the bracket. Always ensure the bracket is firmly fixed before applying full weight.

Compatibility: These brackets are designed to support most standard handrails made of wood, metal, or composite materials. They are suitable for installation on various wall types, including plasterboard (with appropriate fixings), brick, or masonry. Always check that the wall material can safely support the bracket and the intended load.

Care: To maintain the polished silver finish, wipe the brackets periodically with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or dull the surface. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a thorough rinse and drying with a clean cloth.
