FAQs

How many brackets are included in a pack?

Each pack contains five handrail brackets.

What material is the bracket made of?

The brackets are made of polished brass.

Do I need special tools to install these brackets?

Basic tools such as a screwdriver (or drill with screwdriver bit), a spirit level, and a pencil are generally required for installation.

Are these brackets suitable for outdoor use?

These brackets are designed for interior use. Using them outdoors may lead to corrosion or degradation of the finish.

Can I paint over the bronze finish?

While it might be possible with proper surface preparation, painting over the polished brass finish is not recommended as it may affect the aesthetic and durability.

What is the maximum weight capacity of a single bracket?

Specific weight capacity is not provided, but they are designed to meet Building Regulations Part K, indicating they are suitable for standard domestic load-bearing requirements when installed correctly.

Troubleshooting

Bracket feels loose after installation

Ensure screws are fully tightened into a solid fixing point. If fixing to drywall, use appropriate wall anchors. Consider adding an extra bracket if the handrail span is very long.

Handrail does not sit securely on the bracket

Verify that the handrail profile matches the bracket's design. Ensure the bracket is mounted at the correct angle and that the handrail is properly seated before final tightening.

Discoloration of the brass finish

Clean gently with a soft cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can scratch or dull the polished surface. Ensure the area is dry after cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Determine the desired placement for your handrail brackets along the wall or staircase stringer. Ensure brackets are level and spaced appropriately for optimal support (typically every 900mm - 1200mm).
  2. Use a level to mark the screw positions for each bracket.
  3. Secure each bracket to the wall or chosen surface using the provided screws. Ensure a firm fix.
  4. Attach the handrail to the brackets.

Compatibility:

These brackets are designed for use with standard wooden or metal handrails. Ensure the handrail profile is compatible with the bracket's saddle or support area. They are intended for interior use on staircases and corridors.

Care:

To maintain the polished brass finish, regularly wipe the brackets with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes, as these can damage the finish.
