Customer Reviews for Iron Black Handrail Arch #2 Railing Rail Fits 2 Steps For Home

Used for elderly neighbor to step up onto the porch.

Ned right tools for installation. Very sturdy, well made, and looks great.

One catch, if you did your research and read reviews and comment you would've learned that the hardware kit that it ships with is probably metric and if you are in the US you wont be able to drill a suitable hole for them. In fact, at least in my case, the concrete anchors they shipped with the rail didn't even fit and were slightly bigger. So just buy a new set of anchors that will work with your drill.One day the US will ditch this stupid, none functional imperial system and use metric where all things make sense!Overall, pretty happy with these rails, they look good, they are solid, handling pretty well in the rain no rust so far after being installed for a month with heavy rain and humidity.

Gorgeous and just as described. My stairs were not configured to fit with railing HOWEVER seller worked with me to keep.Loved railing so much I am having steps adjusted to match railing.

Absolutely sturdy and extremely well made. If putting on a concrete slab, better with two people. I did it with one, but recommend two. The way it lays on stairs may need some customization.

Great product for the money.

The one I received is designed slightly differently than this one and less money, but it works for me. The rail is about a 14" in length, made to mount on two steps as pictured. However the hardware included, along with the worthless instructions don't do much to assist installation. There is no hardware to mount to wooden steps. They included cheaply made masonry anchors, but no lag bolts or hardware for any other type of mounting.The rail itself seems to be built ok with sturdy materials. There are flaws though. There are several places where welds weren't cleaned up properly causing some sharp splintering. I had to file the splinters down and touch up the paint. There's also a large scratch on mine at the top that I had to file down and touch up. The paint work is not the best, and looks like it would scratch up pretty easily. I expect the sun to eventually fade out the thin coat of glossy black paint.The instructions are worthless, with small pictures of hardware only, no written instructions. As mentioned, the hardware included is insufficient for wooden step or porch installations. Once I figured out which bolt goes where, and how the lower bar is supposed to be positioned, I found sufficient hardware to mount it, It looks fine and is sturdy. For my installation, I used 5/16 x 1 1/2 black lag bolts after drilling pilot holes. (If the rail doesn't line up correctly over a 2 step installation as pictured, try reversing and reposition the lower rail)Included are metal 2 piece covers that snap together and cover the bolts at the bottom. However, because of the gaps it leaves, I decided to caulk it with clear silicone to prevent water from seeping in to prevent eventual rotting of the bolt holes and wooden steps. (which is why I started this project in the first place)Eventually it worked out, looks good and is sturdy, ridiculous price (139) notwithstanding.

I installed this hand rail on two steps to provide safety for a senior.It also looks attractive.

The anchor bolts were no good would not hold in concrete. Had to buy new ones.

The install was very frustrating as I installed on agragrate concrete hitting the occasional re-bar requiring moving slightly.The instructions were not explained clearly, just pictures. The quality of the bolts and the toy wrenches were weak and problematic, I used a metric and imperial set of wrenches and sockets but neither fit the anchor bolts. Had to rely on my adjustable wrench.After the first one was installed I left the job and did some gardening. The next day the second one went together much better, minus the skinned knuckles. They look good and the wife is very pleased..and that's what counts.
