How many wall brackets are included?
The number of brackets varies by length: 3 brackets are supplied for 1800mm and 2400mm kits, 4 brackets for 3600mm kits, and 5 brackets for 4200mm kits.
Can I choose the finish for the end caps and brackets?
Yes, you can choose the finish for the end caps and brackets from Chrome, Black, or Nickel options.
What are the dimensions of the handrail?
The handrail has a square profile measuring 58mm x 58mm.
How far does the bracket project from the wall?
The wall bracket projects 70mm from the wall. With the 'patrice' (ornamental rose), it projects 85mm.
Is this handrail suitable for outdoor use?
This handrail is designed for indoor use. For outdoor applications, specific treated timber or metal handrails are typically recommended.
Troubleshooting
Handrail feels unstable after installation
Ensure all wall brackets are securely fixed to the wall with appropriate fixings. Verify the handrail is properly seated on the brackets and secured according to instructions. Check for any loose screws.
Finish is uneven or peeling
This is likely an issue with the applied finish. Ensure the oak was properly prepared (sanded, clean) before finishing. Apply additional coats as per the finishing product's instructions, ensuring adequate drying time between coats.
End caps do not fit securely
Confirm you are using the HR profile end caps specifically designed for this handrail. Ensure the handrail end is clean and free of debris. Check if screws are correctly aligned and tightened for the end caps.
Missing components in the kit
Double-check all packaging. If components are indeed missing, contact the retailer or Jackson Woodturners customer support with your proof of purchase.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Prepare the Handrail: Sand the unfinished oak handrail to your desired smoothness. Apply your chosen finish (paint, varnish, wax, or oil) according to the manufacturer's instructions for the finishing product. Allow adequate drying time.
- Mark Bracket Positions: Determine the optimal placement for your wall brackets, ensuring they are spaced evenly (typically no more than 800mm apart) and support the handrail securely. For 1800mm/2400mm kits, use 3 brackets; for 3600mm, use 4; for 4200mm, use 5.
- Install Brackets: Securely fix the brackets to the wall using appropriate fixings for your wall type (e.g., wall plugs and screws). Ensure they are level.
- Attach End Caps: Fit the HR end caps to the ends of the handrail. Secure them using the provided screws.
- Mount Handrail: Place the finished handrail onto the installed brackets and secure it from underneath or through pre-drilled holes if applicable (check specific design).
Compatibility:
- This kit is designed specifically for use with Jackson Woodturners' HR handrail profile and its corresponding end caps and brackets.
- Available bracket and end cap finishes include Chrome, Black, and Nickel.
- Handrail lengths available: 1800mm, 2400mm, 3600mm, and 4200mm.
Care:
- Clean the finished handrail with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
- Periodically check that all fixings remain secure.
