- Flexible and diverse: the overall appearance of the armrest can be customized according to your preferences and needs. You can choose different colors, shapes, styles, and sizes, and even add some decorative elements, such as lights, flowers, etc., to make your armrest more personalized and unique.

The information we need to know are the length of the stairs and the angle with the ground (this information can help us choose the appropriate pipe and handrail fittings); the number of armrest fittings). After collecting the information, we need to design a sketch and complete the marking and marking according to this sketch.
If we have a wide variety of hardware tools in our home, we only need to buy armrest fittings and pipes. It is recommended that you buy a powerful toolbox, which will be used no matter what items you want to DIY in the future. Because the stairs have an angle, whether we buy Elbows or Tees, we need to buy the same angle as the stairs. Fixing needs to be perpendicular to the ground. We may also use Cross to add a middle pipe to make the whole handrail look more beautiful. When purchasing, we can choose electro-galvanized handrail fittings, because it has a beautiful metallic luster, and the price is cheaper than stainless steel. If you need black, yellow, or green, you need to choose powder coating.
When the tools and handrail fittings we purchased arrive, we can start to install the handrail. We have already done the marking and marking in the first step. In this step, we need to use an electric drill to drill holes in the stairs. Fix the handrail fixing on the stairs. Insert the uprights into the fixing to connect other handrail fittings, pipes, and uprights, and use the Allen Key to tighten the screws above. When we tighten the screws of the handrail fittings, we only need to tighten them without using too much force to avoid damage.
After the handrail is installed, we need to inspect it. The main test is that the structure is solid, we can push hard on the armrest and see if it wobbles (this rarely happens when we tighten the screws). After the inspection is completed, the armrest is installed.
This step can make the stairs look more in line with the environment of the room. We can hang colorful lamps, and flower baskets on the handrails, paste beautiful stickers, or use spray paint to adjust the color a little bit. The above steps are the process of using handrail fittings to quickly install the guardrail. We mainly provide you with handrail fittings.
