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.
With the Shadow Rail Connector, you can enjoy the full beauty of a wood deck railing with the most elegant looking 2x4 rail to post connection there is. And better yet, it doesn't matter who you are.
DIY'ers with minimal skill or PROs with years of expertise can achieve amazing results, faster and easier than ever.
Take the focus off of bulky crude connectors and fasteners and show off the clean lines and beauty of your railing - fastener free!
Any wood railing will look better with Rail Shield handrail covers.
They install quickly and securely in minutes but make your wood railing last a lifetime.
Flat surfaces take a beating from the sun, rain and snow and show their age so much faster than vertical surfaces.
Now you can make an affordable wood railing look luxurious and with virtually no maintenance.
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.

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.
The collar releases using a slot screwdriver.
Just slide and lock the collar down when you are done.
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 hardware can damage the connectors and reduce lifespan.
