Heavy Duty Handrail Mounting Brackets
Designed for heavy duty applications, these brackets support metal and wooden handrails on stairs and ramps.
Steel and iron brackets are strong enough to reliably support handrails that are used frequently. Aluminum brackets are lightweight and have excellent corrosion resistance, which makes them good for harsh environments.
Cast brackets are stronger than formed brackets.
ADA-compliant brackets have enough vertical and horizontal clearance to help you comply with ADA guidelines if installed correctly.
Brackets that meet NFPA 5000 leave enough clearance between the handrail and wall to help you meet National Fire Protection Association safety standards for building and construction.
All styles have mounting holes in their base to mount to the wall. Styles 1 and 3 have a saddle for fastening or welding the handrail. Style 2 brackets don’t have a saddle; weld the handrail directly to the top of the bracket.

Build-Your-Own Low-Profile Railings
Combine components to create a railing. They are sized to fit together and mount on floors and walls.
Use coupling and urethane structural adhesives (not included) to connect two lengths of rail. When installed, the coupling is completely concealed by the rail.

Build-Your-Own No-Drill Railings
Combine bases, rails, gates, and toeboards to create a barrier customized to your needs. When properly installed in a U-shape, these items meet OSHA 29 CFR 1910.29 requirements for fall protection systems. Rails, bases, and toeboards also meet OSHA 29 CFR 1926.502 requirements for fall protection systems. Base is weighted to allow installation without drilling holes.
To protect the work surface from scuffs and scratches, use nonskid pads.
Use rail-to-base connecting pins to secure the rails to the bases.

ADA-Compliant Railings
Make stairs and ramps safe and accessible for all with these ADA-compliant railings. They’re made of high-strength galvanized steel for durability and corrosion resistance, even outdoors. These railings are paintable and can be cut to length.
Ground-mount railings are supported by posts that mount to your staircase or ramp. They’re inline with the posts to give you space to navigate in narrow areas. Add an additional post for extra support if your railing extends beyond six ft.
Wall-mount railings are supported by brackets that mount to your wall. They’re commonly used for stairs or ramps that don’t have space for mounting posts. Because they’re offset with the wall, a portion of the grab bar juts out for easy access. Add another wall bracket for more support if your railing is longer than six ft.
