• Prepare you nuts and bolts for each post on the run you are working on
• Thread the screws through the bracket and tighten the nut just enough so it stays on
• Identify and prep the brackets that will sit on the top of each post
• Using the Allen wrench, tighten the bracket into place using the screws in the center holes
• The corner brackets will need two half brackets and will fasten into place into the top of the post
• They should be able to move to adjust to variable angles
• Mark your handrail and use a miter saw to cut your handrail
• You can use painters tape where you are going to cut to help keep the powder coat intact
• Any miter saw with a good blade or blade rated to cut aluminum will work
• Measure your run and determine the length needed for your handrail
• The handrail can overhang the end posts if desired
• Handrail junctures over your corner posts will need to be mitered

• To join two straight handrail runs, you will need to use a Quick Slide Coupler
• Using silicone or epoxy to hold in place, attach the coupler into one of the handrail ends
• Once in place, repeat the step for the other handrail end
• Each coupler will need to mount over a post bracket to ensure rigidity and strength
• When the handrail is completely in place, insert your end plugs
• You can use epoxy or silicone to attach them
• When your handrail is in the correct position, use the Allen wrench to tighten the bracket screws against the channel
• The channel will hold the nuts in place while the screw turns, tightening the handrail down
• With the channel on the bottom, begin sliding the Quick Slide handrail onto the brackets
• The nuts of each bracket should fit into the middle channel of the handrail
• Continue until the handrail sits on all the brackets for that run

• Keeping the nuts in place, flip your second handrail over so the channel is on the bottom
• Set the handrail down on the bracket - The goal should be to have the nuts in the channel line up with the bracket screws
• When your miter seam is tight, use the Allen wrench to fasten the corner bracket screws
• Go down the remaining post in the run and fasten all the bracket screws tightly
• If you do not have room to move back and slide the second handrail, you will have to set the handrail down on top of the bracket
• To do this, grab the remaining two nuts for the corner bracket, and set them in place near the end of the miter on your second handrail
• They may fall out, so go slowly
• Depending on the amount of room you have, you should be able to move your handrail back and slide it onto the open corner bracket end
• Once in place, use the Allen wrench to tighten the bolts. • Repeat this for both handrails meeting on the bracket
• If you are doing a corner, miter each handrail end to 45 degrees (check your angle)
• The corner bracket is adjustable to work on most angles
