With the pilot holes drilled in the handrail, reposition the handrail onto the brackets on the wall. Carefully align the pilot holes in the handrail with the screw holes in the brackets. Insert the appropriate screws (wood screws for studs, metal self-drilling screws, or toggle bolts if no stud was found) and use your electric drill to slowly tighten them. Ensure the screws are driven straight and are flush with the bracket surface, but do not over-tighten, which could strip the holes or damage the handrail.
