Position the handrail onto the freshly installed brackets. The video demonstrates using clamps to temporarily hold the handrail in place while it is being secured. This helps maintain the desired gap and alignment. Use a cordless drill/driver to screw the handrail onto the brackets from underneath or through designated holes. It is important to ensure a 1 1/2 inch gap between the wall and the handrail, as this is a common building code requirement for graspability. Always check local building codes for specific requirements in your area.
