Call (213) 000-0001Adding a second handrail
Many indoor stairs only have a rail on one side. Adding a wall-mounted handrail on the other side is a quick upgrade that makes stairs easier for kids, older adults and anyone carrying things.
Brackets need to hit studs or be anchored properly so the rail can take real weight.
Townhome and condo stairs
Newer LA townhomes often have three or four floors of narrow stairs. A continuous wall rail on each flight — with returns at the ends so sleeves do not catch — is one of the most practical safety additions.
Styles
- Hardwood rails stained or painted to match trim.
- Round or flat metal rails in black, bronze or stainless.
- Rails that continue around landings with fittings or bends.
Frequently asked questions
How high should an indoor handrail be?
Typically 34 to 38 inches above the front edge of the steps.
Can a handrail be mounted on drywall?
Brackets need to land in studs or use anchors rated for the load. Drywall alone will not hold a handrail safely.
Can you install handrails in a rental or condo?
Yes, with the owner's or HOA's approval where required.
