The Secret to Fast, Easy Railings...
The Snap’n Lock® Baluster System is fast and frustration-free.
Sideways installation means quick and easy baluster installation. Just screw, snap, lock, and you're done!
Technical Information
Why First & Long Time Builders Love Snap'n Lock
✔ Retrofit Old Railings Without Hassle – Replace outdated wood pickets without dismantling your railing.
✔ Built to Last – Premium T6063 aluminum balusters and durable USA-made polycarbonate connectors ensure long-lasting beauty.
✔ No Mess, No Stress Maintenance – Easily remove balusters for painting, staining, or future upgrades.
Additional Information
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.
PERFECT FOR RETROFITTING OLD WOOD RAILINGS
Sideways installation makes this possible!

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.
The shorter 25" balusters are recommended for most common stair rail applications.

POP COLLAR UP
The collar releases using a slot screwdriver.
LOCK COLLAR DOWN
Just slide and lock the collar down when you are done.
PLEASE FOLLOW THESE PRECAUTIONS WHEN FASTENING BALUSTER SADDLES
-
Do not use impact driver. Neither the screws or the connectors are designed for installation with an impact driver.
-
Use a variable speed screw driver and set torque to low-medium.
Overdriving screws into the connectors can damage the connector and reduce lifespan.

I recently rebuilt a deck for my 78 yr old brother who has Dimensia & his wife. They were very pleased with the finished product! Your product is a game changer,and adds a touch of class to any deck. I also added solar post caps from Lowes and a new motion-led light above their back door. Now they have a new solid and safe, and very cozy place to relax at home!

As I was visiting with a do it yourself or family member he was showing me how easy the snap and lock baluster kit worked on his deck. I had a much smaller project, so I looked into it online and immediately found the perfect solution. As I explained in my title, the instructions were simple. The installation was easy and fast, and the deck looks beautiful! Check out the before, and after picture and video…

We installed the snap and lock round baluster kit on a second story deck a few months ago. Installation was easy and straight forward. The balusters are strong and provide a wonderful finished look. We are very happy with the product and plan to use it on our lower deck as we replace that rail system. Great product. We also recently capped the posts.

I just wanted to let you know how much we love your product. We needed this to retrofit an old wooden balcony railing that was not safe due to the spacing of the balusters. The installation could not have been easier and it really dressed up the balcony along with making it so much safer.

This kit is great, exactly what I needed. Super easy to install, just spend the time laying them out.

After getting sky high quotes from contractors to change out my wood balusters to metal (aluminum), I decided to give it a try. It was way easier than I imagined and my house looks fantastic for a fraction of the cost! :+1::smiley::+1:

Worked perfectly.Looks great

Love this product. In spite of having 10 thumbs I was able to easily and quickly install. And I think it looks great. I'd recommend to anyone.

Found this product after searching for a replacement for my old 2 in. x 2 in. wooden balusters that I didn't want to paint. The product is high quality and easy to work with. An aluminum cutting blade on a miter saw worked well to cut each baluster pipe to just the right length. The overall look of this product is really good. I'd recommend this product to folks who want to enhance the look of their wooden railing but don't want to install a vinyl railing.

I’m not done with my project yet, but couldn’t be more pleased with this product. My deck will look new when I’m done. I am replacing the balusters and rails and using this company’s rail connectors also. Really great product-thanks!

Great idea for wood spindle replacement. Hardest part is finding good quality wood. Big box stores wood is all junk! Their wood is wet and when it drys out it warps!

We are avid bird feeders. The feeders are located east of our deck for our viewing while we enjoy our deck. In order to see the birds using the feeders, we look through the wood balustrades which partially obstructs the view. By installing the round black snap'n lock baluster kit the view seems unobstructed and installation was simple. I feel that the instructions for installation should advise the use of a jig though which simplifies the job. I made one using a 2x4 and some small blocks.

Easy to put together. I definitely would recommend to anyone who is remodeling their deck.

I saw this use on a cable show out of Austin, TX called Wilker-Do's. Decided when having the new porch done to try it out. Looks fabulous and was fery easy to use.

This product is everything it said it would be. Great install. Great look, and the customer service is fantastic! I will be telling anyone and everyone that will listen just how great a product this is. Being a contractor for 46 years this is one of the best products I've come across and it looks so good!

Excellent product, superb & easy installation, with fantastic & much improved end product that really enhances my 9' x 5' deck that I just converted from pressure treated to Timber lock material.

They look great and they were easy to install

By far the easiest way to put balusters on a deck. I only did half my deck with them but wish I had done the whole thing. Easy to remove and put back, which turned out I needed to do. Saved me a lot of time.
