    INSTALLING A COMMON 36" TALL STAIR RAIL

    Here is one way to build your stair rail using Snap'n Lock Stair Adaptors and Shadow Rail Connectors.


    The elevation contact points for the 2x4 rail connectors depict one possible configuration resulting in the top rail meeting the newel post at 36" above the deck surface.


    The gap between the underside of the lower rail and the surface of the treads may permit a 6" ball to fit underneath but never greater. The bottom rail may be set lower to the nosing of the tread if desired.

    Installing A Common 36" Tall Stair Rail

    The angle of typical code-compliant stairs ranges between 34°-35°. Baluster lengths shown here assume the Snap'n Lock connector and stair adapters are used. Baluster lengths may vary if the angle changes but rarely exceed 25".

    Snap 'n Lock™ Baluster Connectors

    WHY IT WORKS

    Do not let the simple look of the Snap 'n Lock™ Balusters fool you.  A lot of thought went into conceiving this design in order to make it work so well.  The base and the collar are designed to incredibly tight tolerances so they fit together like a glove and constrict around the baluster to hold it tight eliminating any wobble.



    The sidewalls of the base are free to flex and accept the baluster as it is pushed in place.  The mating surfaces of the base and the collar are sloped so that as they slide together the fit gets tighter and tighter until they lock together once fully seated.


    The parts can be released by fitting a slot screwdriver under the color and popping it up.  This allows for easy maintenance or the addition of decorative baluster collars anytime after installation.

    SNAP LOCK BALUSTERS ARE PERFECT FOR RETROFITTING OLD WOOD RAILINGS


    Replace old worn 2x2 wood pickets with Snap'n Lock™ Balusters without having to dismantle the entire railing. 


    Sideways installation makes this possible!

    STEP 3

    STEP 4

    With traditional plug systems, you have to take down the entire railing and rebuild from scratch.


    Make sure to measure the gap between your upper and lower 2x4 rails and pick the 25" or 31" and then cut them down to your specific gap less 1/2" for the thickness of the base connectors.


    Aluminum is so easy to cut and is not subject to oxidization the same way ferrous metals are.


    This saves you a lot of time and money. But the best thing is that you just gave your old worn out wood railing a brand new life.

    BUILDING STAIR RAILS WITH SNAP LOCK BALUSTER STAIR ADAPTERS


    Let's take a closer look at how the stair adapters work with the Snap Lock Balusters connectors.

    No need to cut balusters at an angle. 

    Just snap the adapter to the underside of the base connector and screw the unified parts to the 2x4 as normal.

    This helpful visual guide is worth a thousand words and shows just how simple it is.

    The shorter 25" balusters are recommended for most common stair rail applications as shown in the diagram.

    Snap'n Lock Stair Baluster Connectors Instruction
    Stair from 33 to 38 degrees

    HANDLES A RANGE OF RISE AND RUN ANGLES

    The adapters are set at 35 degrees to match the common rise and run for stairs under the residential code. 

    But sometimes you might have a slightly shorter rise and a longer run.  This changes the angle slightly and can differ from the 35-degree default.

    Don't worry. They have enough flex to accommodate stairs from 33 to 38 degrees.

    Why Buy From us

    Hello From The Owner

    What People Are Saying About Us...

    Titan Wood Post Anchor
    “My wife and I did some research and found your product and bought a few to try out and boy were we impressed. After installing on two of the posts there was a huge difference in the stability. We immediately ordered 15 more to install on rest of the posts. I thought installation was very easy and we now have peace of mind knowing that our railing is safe. We also have a friend that is redoing a deck and highly recommend they check out your decking system. Oh I almost forgot about the quick service which didn't hold up our project. Thank you for a quality product as advertised.”
    Bradley Parrent - Paris, KY

    Snap'n Lock™ Baluster Kits
    “We used the Snap'n Lock ™Baluster System for our deck railing and we LOVED it. It was so easy to install and looks great! All of our neighbors have been asking about it. They have never seen anything like it.”
    Linda Johnson - Gualala, CA

    Deck Foot Anchor
    “LOVE this product! This deck took about 21 post and there was no way I was going to dig holes and pour concrete all week. Titan deck feet went in to fast and were extremely strong and secure. When I made a mistake in measurement and didn't center one of the post it was so easy to reverse drill and correct! Thanks for this great design! 10+ stars! ”
    Mike S

    Shadow Rail Connectors
    “I love my Shadow Rail Connectors. They were as easy as 1,2,3 to install and couldn't look any better! Highly recommend!".
    Noel Gonzales - Sequin, TX

    Aluminum Post Caps
    “These fit nicely and are a rigid metal cap. The paint looks uniform and slick and they fit nicely on a 5.5 x 5.5 square post. I cut several in half for the half posts that are attached to the house. I think these will last for many years."
    Jessica Wildeman - Divide, CO
