FAQs

What tools do I need for installation?

Can I cut the handrail to a specific length?

Yes, you can cut the handrail to any length up to 1.2 meters using a hacksaw or jigsaw.

What is the handrail made of?

The handrail is made of high-grade steel with a lacquered matt black finish.

Does the kit include all the necessary components?

How do I clean the handrail?

Clean the handrail with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.

What if my wall is drywall?

You may need to use alternative fixings suitable for drywall installation (not included).

Is the handrail rust-resistant?

Yes, the lacquered finish helps to protect the handrail from rust and color fading.

Troubleshooting

Handrail feels unstable after installation.

Check that the wall brackets are securely mounted to the wall. Ensure the correct screws and wall plugs were used for the wall material. Tighten any loose screws.

Handrail is too long.

Double-check the measurements and cut the handrail to the correct length using a hacksaw or jigsaw. Ensure the cut is clean and even.

Difficulty in cutting the handrail.

Use a fine-tooth blade on your hacksaw or jigsaw for a cleaner cut. Secure the tube firmly during cutting to prevent it from moving.

The screws won't stay in the wall.

Ensure the correct size and type of wall plugs are used for your wall material. If needed, use alternative fixings suitable for the wall type.
