LEVEL RAIL INSTALLATION
1.
Prepare all posts and mounting surfaces before
installation.
2.
Establish the height of the lower rail using blocks
for the desired bottom space.
Place the bottom rail across the opening where it
is to be installed (Fig. 1).
TIP: Standard Original Rail measures 36" in height
with a 2" space below the bottom rail. Use 2"
blocks to establish bottom rail height.
3.
Measure from the mounting surface to the first
baluster hole on each end (Fig. 2) and adjust until
these dimensions are equal.
Trace the post onto the bottom rail and mark
short at each end to allow for expansion (Fig. 3).
TIP: If all of your mounting surfaces are plumb,
transfer your measurements and baluster layout
from the bottom rail to the top rail (Fig. 4).
NOTE: A minimum of 1¼" from the edge of the
first baluster to the end of the rail is necessary to
accommodate the mounting brackets.
4.
Cut each end of the rail at the measurement
determined in Step 3 (Fig. 5).
TIP: If using a power saw, a carbide tip blade of at
least 60 teeth is recommended.
Place a bottom mounting bracket on each end
of the bottom rail with the flat side facing the rail
ends (Fig. 6).
