Refer to Sections 3.1 and 3.2 on how to calculate the cutting lengths for the
profiles. Once the profiles have been cut to length:
• Once the handrail lengths have been prepared, together with their endcaps, wall returns, brackets and closers, mount them to their respective
wall sections.
• For a handrail height of 900 mm from the floor, use a pencil (or laser) to draw a mark at the required height. The table below shows the drilling
heights according to the ESCORT brackets used:

• Slide the brackets into the groove of the aluminium profile.
• Position the end brackets at no more than 50 mm from the end of the profile.
• Set the brackets at maximum intervals of 1,200 mm.
• For short handrail lengths, use at least two brackets at even intervals.
• Fix the brackets to the aluminium profile using a 2.5 mm Allen key.
• Then insert the accessories (endcaps, wall returns, jointing pieces, etc.) into the
profile and secure with the pre-fitted screws until they are flush and hold the
accessory in place.
• Finally, cut the closer to the required lengths and clip into the profile groove.
