Troubleshooting
Handrail feels loose or wobbly.
Ensure all wall brackets are securely fastened to the wall. Check that the handrail is properly seated in the brackets and that any connecting or end brackets are tightened. If mounted on plasterboard, verify that appropriate wall anchors are used and are holding firm.
Missing installation hardware.
Review the contents of the package against the included parts list. If any components are missing, contact the retailer or Stiley Living customer support for replacements.
