FAQs
Can this handrail kit be used outdoors?
No, this handrail kit is designed and recommended for internal use only. Exposure to external elements can damage the oak and finishes.
What is included in the kit?
The kit typically includes the oak handrail (in specified length), a pair of Forge end caps, and the required number of matching wall brackets with screws for installation.
Do I need to finish the wood myself?
Yes, the oak handrail comes unfinished. You will need to paint, stain, varnish, or wax it to your desired finish before installation.
How many brackets will I receive?
The number of brackets depends on the length of the handrail ordered. Typically, 3 brackets are provided for 1800mm/2400mm lengths, 4 for 3600mm, and 5 for 4200mm lengths.
What are the dimensions of the handrail?
The handrail has a 54mm round profile and a 25mm flat underside for mounting.
Can I cut the handrail to a custom length?
Yes, the oak handrail can be cut to a custom length. However, if you cut it, you will need to finish the newly cut end and ensure it is compatible with the end cap fitting.
What finishes are available for the brackets and end caps?
The Forge end caps and matching wall brackets are available in Chrome, Black, Brushed Nickel, and Antique Brass finishes.
Troubleshooting
Handrail feels wobbly or insecure.
Ensure all wall brackets are securely fastened to the wall, ideally into studs. Check that the handrail is properly seated on the brackets and that any screws connecting the handrail to the brackets (if applicable) are tightened.
Finish is uneven or peeling.
This typically occurs if the surface was not properly prepared before finishing or if the finishing product was applied incorrectly. Sand down the affected area and reapply the finish, ensuring proper preparation and adherence to the product's instructions.
End caps do not fit.
Verify that you are using the correct Forge end caps designed for a 54mm round handrail. Ensure there are no obstructions inside the end cap or at the end of the handrail.
Screws provided do not work for my wall type.
The included screws are general-purpose. For optimal security, use appropriate wall anchors and screws designed for your specific wall material (e.g., plasterboard, brick, concrete).
