The installation of our handrails is straightforward and should only take about 30 minutes.  Each handrail ships with the appropriate number of mounting brackets based on the length of the handrail.

How to install:

  1. Locate the wall studs. (Use a stud finder if you have one.)
  2. Measure 34″ to 38″ vertically from the tip of the first (bottom) stair nose, making sure your mark is over the stud. (Check your local building codes if you’re not sure about the height.) Repeat this procedure at the top stair nose.
  3. Draw a line between the two marks with a straight edge or chalk line.
  4. Install the bottom and top mounting brackets.
  5. Now install any remaining brackets equally between the first two you installed. The brackets should form a straight line.
  6. Lift the handrail into place and slide it into position. The returns should be firm against the wall and the space behind the rail should be even.
  7. Pre-drill holes into the rail to prevent the wood from splitting, then gently install the screws. Don’t overtighten.
  8. Check that there is no hump or sag in the appearance of the rail that would be caused by a bracket alignment issue.

Frequently Asked Questions

We manufacture our handrails at the time they're ordered instead of keeping a large
inventory.  This reduces the risk of any potential damage or warping.  And when you order one of our standard handrails, the rail and its radiused returns are crafted from a single, solid piece of wood--no miter cuts or glue joints.

Our DIY Handrail Kit is also unique to HandrailsPlus, designed for hobbyists and DIYers wanting to try their hand at building their own rail.

We strive to start and complete orders as quickly as possible, typically within 3 business days.  Note that when your order is finally shipped it can take up to 8 business days to arrive, depending on your location.

Yes.  Our solid wood handrails are sanded smooth but arrive unfinished, giving you the freedom to choose the paint or stain that best matches your decor.  If you're painting a rail, it's a good idea to use a primer first.  And if you're applying a stain, always use a wood conditioner, especially on softer woods like pine, etc.

We offer a $19.95 flat rate shipping cost to anywhere in the contiguous USA.
If you need shipping to Alaska or Hawaii, please contact us for pricing.

Shipping a package over 8 feet long can incur substantial shipping fees.  As a result, the longest rail we ship in one piece is our 94" rail (2" under 8 feet).  Any rail longer than that will be cut into two equal sections before it's shipped.  These longer rails have pre-drilled holes (and provided pocket screws) for attachment.
