With the brackets loosely installed, carefully lift the handrail and place it onto the brackets, aligning it with the marked chalk line. It is highly recommended to have an assistant to help hold the handrail firmly in place during this step. Once the handrail is resting securely on the brackets, use the self-tapping screws provided to fasten the handrail to each bracket. If you find it difficult to apply enough pressure for the self-tapping screws to bite into the metal handrail, pre-drill a small pilot hole through the handrail material (using a drill bit 1/16 inch smaller than the screw diameter) before driving the self-tapping screw. Ensure all screws are fully tightened, making the handrail sturdy and secure.
