INSTALLING TOP STAIR BRACKETS:
Loosely assemble the bracket base and
cover (bracket components shown in Figure
16), and use them as a template to mark
the locations for pre-drilling. (If the base is
centered WITHOUT cover, rail will NOT be
centered). Place the base and cover on the
post and mark two hole locations for each
base shown in Fig. 17. Pre-drill using 1/8 bit
and secure the base to post using non-
painted fl at head 1½ " screws provided.
For 32º stair install, the base locations should
be 2 ⁄ " above the middle of the top hole on

the posts (Fig 17). For 26° stair you can move
the base up ¼ " For 38° stair you can move it
down ¼ ".

INSTALLING THE TOP RAIL:
Temporarily assemble the top stair brackets.
Slide the top stair brackets into the bracket
base, align the cover, and fasten all them
together using the hinge bolt provided (Fig.
18).
Adjust the top stair bracket to match the stair
angle. Align the top beam with the brackets
and mark both ends (Fig. 19). Cut at these
marks and test for proper fi t.
Measure the length of the top beam and
cut the top rail (sold separately) to the same
length. Insert the top channel into the top
rail and ensure both ends are aligned.
Disassemble both top brackets by removing
the hinge bolt. Align the stair bracket with the
rail end (Fig 20). Using the pre-drilled holes
as a guide, drill through the railing using a
⁄ " bit as shown, (Fig. 21) being careful not

Press the top rail covers on both ends of top
rail. Slide the top stair brackets in place at the
top rail ends (Fig. 22). Ensure that the top rail
covers nest into the grooves of the brackets.
Align the bracket, the top rail and its cover.
For each bracket, drive two #8 1
pan head screws through the pre-drilled
holes locking the bracket, top channel and
top rail together. After the top rail is secured
on both ends, slide the brackets into the
bases on the posts and lock the assembly
using the base covers and hinge bolts
provided.
