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✔ Retrofit Old Railings Without Hassle – Replace outdated wood pickets without dismantling your railing.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.

We bought a fixer-upper with plenty of projects. So we wanted to keep the solid parts of the deck rather than having to rebuild. The baluster kit was a good solution. DecksGo.com staff was very helpful as we figured out whether the kit would work for us. Looks much better now!

The system seems to work and look great , except some of the plastic covers break if they're just a little bit to small , ordered extra covers on second order !

I stumbled across DecksGo as I was searching for a solution to replace my wood balusters. I couldn't be more pleased with the product, the price, the quick delivery and the packaging. Most importantly, after a relatively easy installation the final product looks fantastic.

I bought and bult a fence using the round tubes. It looks great and works great. I bought a few of the square tubes, but I'm looking for something a little larger diameter.
prodcut is fabulous!
