With the handrail now pre-drilled, attach it to the already installed first bracket using screws. Next, install the remaining handrail brackets into their respective stud locations on the wall (following the same process as for the first bracket, ensuring they are plumb and securely fastened to the studs). Once all brackets are installed, attach the handrail to each of them using screws. Finally, using a level, draw a plumb line on the end of the handrail to mark the precise angle for the final cut, ensuring it aligns with the vertical plane of the wall or door frame.
