Just enough
Need a rail for our step to patio for older and pregnant people 😊. Didn’t want a full rail and this worked great! Husband used tap-con screws and loved how it went in!

Nope nope nope unless u like rust
They have been installed for less than two months and every single railing is showing rust obvious rust on the top on the bottom on the inside on the outside it won’t make it through the summer and all Amazon will do is issue you $100 credit and I ordered Almost $1000 worth

Contemporary, Sturdy and Stable, Looks AMAZING
I recently installed two handrails and plan to buy seven more because I really like their appearance, function, sturdiness, white glossy powder coat finish, and price. My house is a 1920s red brick American Four Square, and these contemporary handrails fit right in beautifully. Each railing comes with installation hardware for mounting into masonry and wood, a drill bit, and a flat wrench to tighten down the masonry anchors. Although the units I ordered didn’t come with instructions, with basic handyman knowledge and skills, it was easy to figure out how to mount them.My house, steps, and porch were built using solid paving bricks that are now 105+ years old. Drilling into them requires a quality special-purpose masonry bit, and a hammer drill is highly recommended for such a task. I positioned my handrails fully to the back on the treads, although installation is flexible to suit your particular taste and needs.I initially used a standard drill and the included drill bit to drill the 8 holes for the anchors. The included bit did not hold up to drilling even one of the 8 holes. This is not necessarily a flaw or issue with the included bit; I just assumed that my solid bricks are so hard all the way through that such a bit isn’t designed to be used.So, I gathered the necessary tools to complete my installation. There was a bit of trial and error, but I was off to a good start once I gathered the proper-sized tools, my level, painter’s tape, and a blower or vacuum. There are some fine points to make this task easier and I will outline them for you in a list format. Plus I will attach a video and pictures of the process.I operated a hammer drill in the hammer and drilling setting. I used a 5/16” masonry hammer drill bit, about 8” long, to allow the drill to be cleared up against the brick staircase. I used a shop vac to blow concrete dust away and to completely clear each hole drilled of dust. I used blue painter’s tape to secure the decorative cap higher on the uprights, keeping it out of my way. I used a socket wrench instead of the small flat wrench included, mostly because I’m a bit lazy and didn’t want to scratch up my hands on the bricks using the included flat wrench on 16 bolts that are up against the bricks. The socket wrench’s ratcheting action made setting and expanding the concrete anchors much quicker and likely tighter than I could have achieved with the included hand wrench. The socket size I used to fit the included anchors was 10mm. I used a hammer or mallet to gently pound the concrete anchors included with the railings to fully set them deep into each of the eight holes I had drilled.After the first railing, I developed a better method of marking the holes to be drilled, which made the task easier, much quicker, and more precise. This method is still my recommended method if you are installing just one railing rather than nine, like me.I have attached pictures showing this:I used a small piece of plywood cut squarely (meaning not crooked) and aligned the back of one mounting plate to the back edge and up against one side of the plywood strip, then the other end forwards, aligning it to the side. I then marked the holes and drilled the marks out of the plywood using a 5/16” drill bit or one that is very slightly larger. That’s your template and what I call a drill guide as I positioned the plywood when I wanted it installed, then placing one foot on the wood firmly, proceeded to drill the first hole. Depth needs to be at least ¼” deeper than the supplied anchors. After my first hole, I slid one of the wood screws into that hole to help keep the template as stationary as possible since the hammer drill does play havoc on holding it in place. Then I proceeded to drill all the holes and slide in a few more wood screws to help hold the wood in place as I was drilling. Afterwards, I had 8⃣anchor holes, perfectly aligned and ready to be vacuumed.Position the railing over the eight holes, hike up the cover caps and secure with painters take out of your way, then slip in the eight anchors. Pound lightly any that don’t push in ALL THE WAY easily. Using the socket wrench with the 10mm socket, start to tighten each of the bolts loosely down. I alternated from mounting plate to mounting plate with each anchor I tightened. Once all eight were kind of tight, then I proceeded to firmly tighten each of them all the way down.Lower the decorative covers and you are done.Great job!

Sturdy
We’ve got three concrete steps from the porch down to the garage door. The deck railing is white, so we wanted something to match. Most of them now are black. The way the stairs are, they aren’t even so a traditional angled railing that goes down the stairs wouldn’t be the best option.I saw this and realized it was just the thing. Then we can stick it alone on the middle stair and not have to worry about the uneven sized stairs.It’s just enough of a railing that you get the support you need. A full railing would also get in the way with our set up.My hubby said he’d install it after he got the right drill bit. Then I told him that it came with it. He was shocked, “Really? That’s cool!”He tested it out and it’s very sturdy.The real test will be how the pain holds up. It’s easier to spot a chip on white pain than black so I hope it holds up well over time. That’s really my only concern.We’ll see.For now I’m very happy.

Flimsy when installed. Plastic expansion bolts and tiny little bolts. Lean on it at your own risk. For $150, I would have expected better… don’t make the same mistake I did; there’s competitors products of higher quality and similar price point.
