Troubleshooting
Handrail feels loose or unstable after installation.
Check that all screws for the brackets and connectors are tightened securely. Ensure the wall fixings are appropriate for your wall type and have been installed correctly. For particularly heavy loads or less stable walls, consider using more robust wall anchors.
Difficulty cutting handrail sections to size.
Use a metal-cutting saw (e.g., a hacksaw with a metal blade or an abrasive chop saw). Ensure the handrail is securely clamped before cutting. Smooth any rough edges with a metal file afterwards.
The matt black finish is scratched or damaged.
Minor scratches may be difficult to repair without professional refinishing. For deeper scratches, consider touching up with a suitable matt black metal paint. For significant damage, replacement of the affected section may be necessary.
Included screws or wall plugs are not suitable for my wall type.
Consult a hardware professional or builder to identify the correct type of fixings for your specific wall construction (e.g., cavity wall fixings, masonry plugs). Purchase these separately and use them for installation.
