Customer Reviews for Handrail Picket #1 Fits 1 Step Matte Black

Being disabled great help getting up and down steps apart from them looking smart and strong

The railing is attractive, sturdy and quality , but the top rail rusted just 2 weeks after installation.Contacted the seller and they IMMEDIATELY solved the isssueI would reccomend this product knowing that issues will be dealt with in a timely manner and satisfied results.

Solid frame easy to put together the bolts and nuts should be black to match the railing .Good solid hand rail

Sturdy metal railing. Easy to install.

The finish was good. Not as nice as powder coating, but good and clean. Railing is only adjustable with the use of washers to raise either the upper or lower portions. I had to use additional washers to raise the upper section. This was mounted on wood stairs leading from a garage into a kitchen. Not all stairs will be built exactly the same. This is for my parents who need a little support when entering the house. I did not choose the railings that were open between the two support posts because I didn't want the great-grand kids hanging on the railing. I had to buy lock nuts and additional washers in order to install. The hardware provided is for installing in stone or concrete.

The bolts where pretty flimsy had to buy bigger size. Also had to modify the product because it would not reach the bottom step! Use for steps that are not very deep! The end product was over all very good! Nice and sturdy when it was done!

Simple to install and sturdy as a rock. Needed to buy lag bolts to mount it on wood. It came with fasteners for concrete.

We got this for my 90 year old mother in law -easy to install and very stylish and sturdy.

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.

Everything seems fine but the paint. If you lay it on anything while you are drilling the holes, make sure it's laying on a soft surface because it scratches very easily.I paid over $300 for this one. Now I see them for under $200. Not happy about that.
