Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup

Compatibility
The Woodworx Oak Wood Stair Hand Rail Kit is compatible with most standard staircases. It's designed to work with various wall types, including wood and drywall. However, ensure the wall or post is structurally sound enough to support the weight and force applied to the handrail.
Care
- Cleaning: Wipe the handrail with a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the wood finish.
- Maintenance: Regularly inspect the handrail and brackets for any signs of wear or looseness. Tighten screws as needed.
- Protection: Avoid exposing the handrail to excessive moisture or direct sunlight, which could affect the wood's appearance and integrity.
