Assemble Your Railing Section:
a. Place top and bottom rail on a smooth, fl at and
clean surface. Then, align the top and bottom
rails so that the ridges inside the rails are
oriented on the same side (Fig. 6).
NOTE:
There are two (2) ridges on both sides that
are different sizes.
b. Push all balusters through the holes in rails,
being careful to have the hole in each baluster
going in the same direction facing the side with
the two (2) small ridges (Fig. 7).
c. Make sure the balusters in the rails are about
2" above the rail and in-line with each other
(Fig. 7).
d. Snap in bumps from locking strip into holes
of the baluster for both top and bottom rails.
Make sure arrows on locking strip face rails
(Fig. 8).
e. If the rails were cut shorter in step 3, then there
will be some extra locking strip at the end of
install. Use scissors or a utility knife to trim off
the excess, while leaving approximately 2" after
the last engaged bump.
f. Pull the top and bottom rails towards ends,
guiding the rails over the locking strips until
snug.
g. Stand rail section up and fully lock balusters
into the rails. Place one foot on the top of the
bottom rail, between the second and third
baluster while at the same time placing a hand
under the bottom of the top rail between the
second and third baluster. Push with foot and
pull with hand until locking is completed. You
should hear a snap as the strip locks into the
rail. Repeat this process for the middle and the
end of the panel (Fig. 9).
NOTE:
If no snap is heard or felt, use a rubber
mallet to tap underneath of top rail to
ensure a full connection.
h. Line up hand rail profi le on top of the top rail.
Press it down onto the top rail so it fi ts snug.
i. Slide bracket covers on ends of both top and
bottom rails (Fig. 10).
