Sketch a layout of the new secondary railing in relationship to the existing railing noting the various pieces you will
need and where you will need them. Check to see if you have all of the pieces that you will need.
Determine the height of the railing (35" to 38" to the top, for commercial applications) and check how that height
works coming down or up steps.
Establish a place to begin. NOTE: If there is an inside corner you must start there first.
Determine the length to cut the handrail which is
joined to the modified post return, by inserting the
next piece of railing or elbow into the corner and
laying it over the adjacent piece on the other side
of the corner. This will establish a mark to cut the
railing.
The post bracket must first be installed so that the
piece inserted into the corner will lie on the brack-
et to establish a proper positioning.
Using a connector, join the corner with the railing
cut in previous step and secure to the bracket as
shown.
With corner now in place, determine the height
of the in-line brackets on a step railing installa-
tion by holding a piece of railing in line with the
elbow and parallel to the primary railing.
Typically, the secondary railing will be below the
level of the primary railing. Install in-line brack-
ets with screws, putting brackets on every post.
Continue until ground level post is reached. At
this point railing will be terminated in one of a
number of ways: either by end capping a straight
rail, end capping an elbow, or by using the “P”
loop return to meet certain municipal require-
ments (see options, above).
