Attractive, sturdy, affordable

Very happy with this handrail with simple clean lines. Although the kit was complete, included everything advertised as needed for concrete or wood, we purchased special sleeve anchors for our brick installation. Some previous reviews said more information was needed but we found helpful and complete instructions that were very clear and easy to follow. We really like the finishing touches like the end caps and joints that position perfectly.

This is one of the best railings I have ever seen I can't believe they include almost all the things you need with it other than lag screws since I was putting it into wood but it is sturdy and now I won't fall in the snowd.

Sleek and sturdy

I got these for my front door, where I have 3 concrete steps and a landing. I like that these railings are simply designed without frills. I like the simplistic matte look. These are super sturdy, and came with different types of screws for different materials. I also like that the instructions were easy to follow and came with a concrete drill bit! My dad needed these railings because he has to use a walker and they're sturdy enough to support his weight without feeling flimsy. The box also advertised that they have attachment parts for your landing if you have one, which is cool so I could get a matching landing railing to go with it at a later point.

This hand rail was purchased for my porch steps. I have four steps and this hand rail was a perfect match for this application. Assembly was not difficult however two people makes it easier. Everything was included with the hand rails all mounting hardware and even the drill bit and screw bit. Drill bit made installation of concrete bolts pretty easy. Completed job in about an hour. Hand rail is solid and looks good. I am very happy with this hand rail and would recommend it.

Great, sturdy, well-made hand rail for steps
Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2021
I purchased Outdoor Hand Rails for Steps for my 78 year old mother who is having issues making it up steps leading into the house. These steps are great! They are very well made out of wrought iron and she can place all of her weight on them and the rail does not budge. It helps her a great deal because she can grab the rail and hoist herself forward using her arms while her leqs catch up and make it up the step. She has fallen various times but with this Outdoor Hand Rails for Steps I have no reason to worry. I'm glad I found this because I was worried that she would have to resort to using a walker to help her get in and out of the house. I definitely recommend this hand rail if you need help making it up steps.

Once we got all the parts it was simple. Great customer service rapid responses
Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2021
All the parts were in the first shipment. But the seller was quick to respond and take care of it. I would definitely purchase again if needed. It did require quite some elbow grease to drill through the concrete but that's to be expected.

Very strong, incredibly easy installation. Kids already doing gymnastics on it and it's not giving at all.
It's genius is on the simplicity.
CR Fence & Rail FAQs
We love answering questions from our customers! Here are answers to the ones we hear the most.
We’ll provide all the fasteners you’ll need, including screws for attaching the handrail to wood and plastic, as well as anchors for cement and masonry. The installation process will be easiest with a handheld power drill or hammer drill, and a set of screwdriver bits — but any set of screwdrivers will work in a pinch. If you need to cut your handrail to size, a cutting tool such as a hacksaw, angle grinder, or die grinder will come in handy.
Absolutely! All our handrails come powder-coated with a 5-layer black finish that’s made to withstand even the most extreme weather conditions. This protective layer defends against flaking, chipping, scratches, and color deterioration. Outdoor paint of any color will adhere to the protective layer — in fact, weather-resistant paint can even add an additional layer of defense against the elements, while customizing your handrails to look exactly the way you want.
Cleaning your handrail is easy! Our 5-layer weather-resistant coating already protects against most stains, and dirt is easy to clean off. Just wet a non-abrasive or microfiber cleaning cloth with water, and wipe the handrail down to clear away any dust.
Like any product made of metal, your handrail will heat up a bit on sunny and/or hot days. However, our 5-layer protective powder coating is weather-resistant, and will prevent your handrail from becoming too hot to touch. In the unusual circumstance that your handrail becomes too hot, simply wiping it down with cold water will quickly cool it off again.
We include a drill bit that’s 5/16 inches (or 8mm) in length with every handrail kit. We also include anchors that are 3 inches long. Both the drill bit and the anchors have the same diameter.
Building a metal handrail from scratch is a fairly time-intensive process, and requires several professional tools. You’d need to start by measuring the height and depth of your steps, as well as the offset distance between the edge of the steps and the post markers. Then you’d need to determine the angle of the rails, as well as the length of each piece of pipe, and buy correctly angled fittings as well as a sufficient amount of pipe. You’d likely also need to choose the correct flanges, swivel fittings, and malleable plugs, as well as fasteners for wood or concrete. After placing the flanges to mark the position of each fitting, you’d secure the fittings to the wood or concrete surface using a power drill, insert the vertical posts, then attach the fittings to the horizontal post and secure it in place.
Building your own handrail from scratch can be a fun weekend project, but our DIY prefabricated handrail kits enable you to complete the installation in an hour or less. We include all the components and fasteners, so all you’ll have to do on your end is saw the lengths of metal down to size (if necessary) and secure the components in place.
CR Handrails offers a diverse selection of handrail kits, suitable for a wide variety of installation scenarios. Here are the main categories:
1. Handrail Kits for Stairs Available in 6 different lengths, from 1-2 steps all the way to 5-6 steps.
2. Horizontal Flat Handrail KitsAvailable in 2 different lengths: 4-foot and 6-foot.
3. Metal Guardrail KitsAvailable in 4-foot and 6-foot lengths, from 4’ wide/32” tall to 6’ wide/36” tall.
4. Cable Railing Post Kits Available in straight 36” and 42” sizes, corner 36” and 42” sizes, and a 36” stair size.
We also sell individual posts, fasteners, drill bits and fasteners — though our handrail, guardrail and post kits include all the components you’ll need to install them.
You can ensure you’re picking the right kit with a simple three-step process: 1) MEASURE, 2) ROUND UP, and 3) VERIFY:
1. MEASURE the first step to the landing.
2. ROUND UP to the nearest foot.
3. VERIFY the space from end to end.
Follow these three steps, and you can be confident you’re choosing the right size of railing for your project!
Most importantly, you’ll want to make sure you choose a kit that’s the right size for your installation scenario. If in doubt, it’s best to err slightly larger, because you can always cut down the rail to fit. When selecting a kit, you’ll also want to make sure it’s sturdy enough to withstand the weight it’ll have to bear, and can withstand extremes of hot and cold.
All CR Handrail kits are designed to be easy to install in an hour or less. As long as you’re comfortable using simple power tools, you should be able to handle the job without any special assistance. In fact, more than 3,000 happy customers say their CR handrails were remarkably fast and easy to install!
