Locate the crush block and cut to the proper length. The
formula for determining the correct crush block length is: Desired
clearance from bottom rail to mounting surface + 3
1/4 " = length of crush block.
Note: Spindle lengths are sized for a traditional 2" clearance from bottom rail to
mounting surface. Once the block is trimmed, insert it into the pre-cut hole on the
underside of the bottom rail.
Slide a bottom rail bracket cover onto each end of the bottom rail and attach the
bottom rail to the bottom rail mounting brackets, making sure the rail sits on the
resting flanges. Install two of the supplied 1" long screws into each mounting
bracket (1 on each side) in the middle slot of the bracket. The screws should be
located as close to the radius end of the slot as possible, which is approximately
1/2 " from the end of the rail ( Figure 6). Note: If using a cordless drill, be careful
not to strip the screws. Slide the covers toward the post until they snap on to the
mounting brackets. An audible “click” should be heard, signifying that the covers
are now secure.
To determine the location of the top rail mounting brackets, insert two spindles in the
bottom rail, one in each of the pre-cut holes that are closest to each end of the rail.
Slide a top rail mounting bracket on each end of the top rail so that the rail sets on
the resting flange. Place the rail on the spindles, inserting the two spindles into the
respective pre-cut holes in the top rail. Push down on the top rail to make sure it is
resting securely on top of the spindles. Before marking the locations of the mounting
brackets, make sure the spindles are plumb and the top rail is level. Using a pencil,
mark the location of the mounting brackets so they can be attached to the mounting
surface (
Figure 7). Remove the top rail and top rail mounting brackets and secure
the brackets to the mounting surface using eight of the 1 1/2 ” screws supplied and the
marks made previously.
Insert all of the spindles into the pre-cut holes in the bottom rail.
Slide a top rail bracket cover on each end of the top rail. Place the top rail on the
spindles, inserting the spindles one at a time while holding the top rail at an upward
angle (
Figure 8). Once all of the spindles are inserted into the top rail, it should be
resting on the top rail mounting bracket resting flanges.
Install four of the supplied 1” long screws into each mounting bracket (2 on each
side) in the top and bottom slots of the brackets. The screws should be located as
close to the radius end of the slot as possible, which is approximately
1/2 " from the
end of the rail ( Figure 9). Slide the covers towards the mounting plates until they
snap onto the mounting plates. An audible “click” should be heard, signifying that
the covers are now secure.
