The Story
The handrail bracket 63mm is a fixed wall-mount fitting used to secure timber or metal handrails to walls, newel posts, and structural timbers on staircases and ramps. Available in four finishes to suit most interior and exterior stair hardware schemes.
Specifications
| Nominal Size | 63mm |
|---|---|
| Finish Options | Electro Brass, Polished Chrome, White (twin pack), Black |
| Fixing Type | Wall-mount bracket with screw holes |
| Pack Size | Single (Electro Brass, Polished Chrome, Black); Twin pack (White) |
| Suitable Use | Indoor and outdoor handrail runs |
What it's used for
- Fixing timber handrails to staircase walls in residential and commercial properties
- Supporting continuous handrail runs on landing balustrades and mezzanine stair guards
- Securing external handrails on decked steps, ramps, and access paths
- Replacing worn or corroded brackets on existing staircases during refurbishment
Fitting and handling
Fix the bracket to a sound masonry, timber stud, or newel post using appropriate screws for the substrate, ensuring fixings penetrate at least 40mm into solid material for a secure, load-bearing connection. Space brackets at no more than 1.2m centres along the handrail run to maintain adequate support along the full length. For outdoor installations, use a suitable exterior wood treatment on any exposed timber handrail before fitting to protect against the wet Welsh climate.
FAQ
What diameter handrail does the 63mm bracket suit?
The 63mm dimension refers to the projection of the bracket from the wall rather than the handrail bore. This bracket is designed to suit standard handrail profiles in the 40mm to 50mm diameter range commonly used on UK domestic staircases. Check your handrail profile before ordering.
Can I use these brackets outside on a decked staircase?
Yes. The Black and Electro Brass finishes are suitable for outdoor use on covered or semi-exposed structures. For exposed coastal or high-rainfall locations such as South Wales, inspect fixings annually and treat surrounding timber regularly to extend the service life of the installation.
Why is the White option sold as a twin pack?
The White handrail bracket is supplied as a twin pack, making it a cost-effective choice when fitting handrails to both sides of a staircase or a longer run. At £2.52 per pair, it represents good value for new-build and refurbishment projects where multiple brackets are needed.
