FAQs
What material is the hand rail made from?
The hand rail is constructed from durable stainless steel.
How does the rail fold away?
It features an internal spring mechanism that allows the rail to be lifted and folded upwards, locking against the caravan or wall when not in use.
What is the diameter of the screw holes?
The screw holes on the mounting brackets are 8MM in diameter.
Does it come with mounting screws?
Yes, screws and screw caps are included with the hand rail.
What is the total length of the hand rail?
The overall length of the XL hand rail is 72CM.
How long is the foam grip section?
The foam grip section measures 20CM in length.
Can this be mounted on drywall?
While it can be mounted on drywall, it is crucial to use appropriate drywall anchors and ensure the wall is reinforced to support the weight and force applied when using the rail. Mounting on a stud is highly recommended.
Troubleshooting
Rail does not lock in the upright position.
Ensure the rail is fully extended and that no debris is obstructing the locking mechanism within the brackets. Check that the mounting brackets are perfectly level.
Screws do not seem secure.
Verify that you are using screws appropriate for the mounting surface material. Ensure the mounting surface itself is solid and not prone to crumbling. If necessary, use appropriate wall anchors for your surface type.
Foam grip is torn or damaged.
Contact SecureFix Direct customer support for information on replacement grip parts. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could degrade the foam.
Rail feels wobbly after installation.
Re-tighten the mounting screws. Ensure both bracket feet are firmly attached to the surface. Check that the surface itself is stable.
