🔧 Top Tips for Installing Stair Parts

1. Plan and Measure Carefully

• Measure twice, cut once! Accurate measurements are key for a snug, safe fit.

• Use a spirit level and angle finder to determine stair pitch and handrail angles.

• Mark spindle spacing evenly.

2. Install in the Right Order

• Start with newel posts, then move on to baserails, handrail, and finally the spindles
  

3. Use the Right Fixings

• Zip bolts or RailFix kits make attaching handrails to newel posts much easier and stronger.
  

4. Cut and Fit Spindles with Precision

• Use a jig or template to cut spindles to the correct angle and length.
  

5. Secure Handrails Properly

• Always attach handrails to studs or solid fixings for safety.
  

6. Don’t Forget the Soleplate

• If you're installing a stairwell balustrade, the soleplate (or base rail) must be level and firmly fixed.
  

🪚 Pro Tip: Always dry-fit components before final fixing. This lets you check alignment and make adjustments without damaging materials.
