2.3.1. Stairs Measurement

i. Measure the length from the nose of top landing to the floor at the bottom

landing.

ii. Measure the angle of stairs.

2.3.2. Determine the Rail Length

Refer to the table below for the length of the rail extension required at the top

landing. Recommend to install with H=50mm(2”) for smaller gap between the

footrest and the top landing.

Note

Always choose the angle larger than the measured one if the angle is between

two angles on the table.

Note

Ensure all rail sections are long enough to have at least two sets of bracket

bolting on the stairs before cutting. Adjust the length of rail sections if

necessary.
