What a way to start
What a way to start the new year with installing the best made and looking handrails in the business. And just the pride of doing it ourselves as this is the second we have done. I will tell you it was tricky installing on limestone and getting true plumb and using the shims to make… read more “What a way to start”

There’s not much more one
There’s not much more one can say. DIY Handrail, as well as Joe, its owner went above and beyond to make sure everything was laid out correctly. As expected, the installation went very well.

I knew I needed a handrail
After a couple of friends almost toppled off my front steps I knew I needed a handrail on the open side. I chose DIY because of style and how it is made. Solid! Also, the price can’t be beat for the A+ quality. Couldn’t have been easier to install. Looks great. I like it.

It looks fantastic, a nice
It looks fantastic, a nice addition yet more importantly, an excellent safety feature for my 92 year old grandma! It has held up great for over two years now and looks the same as when it was brand new. I’m so impressed that I’m back for another (for the right side).

I installed the arch railings
I installed the arch railings this summer. I highly recommend that you use a hammer drill for the screws and an impact wrench to drive them in once the holes are drilled. A reciprocating saw for trimming the iron is helpful as well. Having the proper tools makes for an easier install. We are very… read more “I installed the arch railings”

The service from Joe and this company is unbelievable.
The service from Joe and this company is unbelievable. He answered the phone, he helped with questions, had product in stock and shipped it quicker than I could prepare for it. He even included the drill bit (who does that). I’m looking to order more just because the experience was so pleasant!
Greg
Beautifully built product.
Beautifully built product. Very sturdy and nicely finished. Installation takes some time (due to drilling eight 6 inch deep holes in concrete) but the end result is worth it. I have received many compliments on this railing. Customer service has been excellent. I would recommend without reservation.

How to Install a Handrail on Concrete
in installAt DIY Handrail, our mission is to provide people with quality iron handrails that they can install on their own. So, whether you’re replacing an old wobbly railing or installing one for the very first time, our complete guide will teach you how to install a handrail on concrete.
How to Install a Level Handrail on Concrete
Quality iron handrails for porches increase a property’s safety and curb appeal. Level handrails are the easiest to install and can be done by a single person with common household tools. If you’re still unsure after reading this guide, check out our more detailed guide on how to install a level handrail on concrete.
Order Custom Level Handrail
Purchasing a handrail is the first step in the installation process. Our online store has quality iron handrails in many lengths to meet your needs.
Place Rail in Position
Place the assembled handrail into position, ensuring the mounting brackets are a minimum of two inches away from the edge of the concrete. If the brackets are any less than two inches from the edge, you run the risk of cracking the concrete during the next step.
Drill Holes in Concrete
Once the handrail is in place, you need to use the provided masonry drill bit and hammer drill to drill through the holes on the mounting bracket into the concrete. Masonry bits are specifically made for concrete, brick and pavers. They provide a cleaner cut and go through the concrete much quicker than a regular drill bit. Be certain to keep your drill bit relatively cool while drilling. This can be accomplished by dipping it in water while drilling
Fasten Railing
With the holes drilled, you can fasten the railing to the concrete. A kit from DIY Handrail includes the appropriate fasteners. If yours doesn’t come with fasteners and you’re not sure which ones you need, this page can help. For concrete, 2¼” x 5/16” screw fasteners are recommended. For brick and pavers it is recommended to use the 5” x 5/16” to reach beyond the brick or paver and into the masonry substrate. It is advised to use an impact driver to drive the fasteners into the masonry.
Check Plumb & Adjust
After you mount the rail to concrete, use a level on every side to ensure the handrail is plumb. If the handrail isn’t level, you need to loosen the fasteners and slide the appropriate amount of washer under the bracket until it is. Once level, refasten the fasteners.
Install Escutcheons & Post Caps
The final step is purely aesthetic and will leave you with a beautiful seamless handrail. Install the provided escutcheons around the mounting brackets and post caps on the top of the rails.
How to Install a Handrail on Concrete Steps
Handrails for concrete steps improve the look and safety of a property. The installation process is similar to level handrails. For additional help, you can find a more detailed guide here.
Order Custom Handrail for Steps
There are several places to purchase custom handrails for steps, but none of them provide the same level of quality as DIY Handrails. Order yours today.
Place Rail in Position
The first step is to place your handrail in the desired position. Make sure the mounting brackets are a minimum of two inches from the edge of the steps to prevent costly damage to the concrete.
Drill Holes in Concrete
Once the handrail is in the desired position, drill through the holes in the mounting brackets with a drill and masonry bit. Make sure you drill the holes at a depth of three inches for concrete and six inches for brick to ensure a secure fastening.
Fasten Railing to Concrete
Use the fasteners included with your DIY Handrail to fasten it to the steps. If you purchased a handrail from somewhere else and it didn’t come with fasteners, this page will help you find the right ones.
Check Plumb & Adjust
Use a level to check the plumb of the posts. If the handrail is unlevel, loosen the mounting brackets and insert washers until it reads level. Once the railing is level, refasten the brackets to the steps.
Install Escutcheons
Install the escutcheons around the mounting brackets for a completed look that conceals the fasteners.
How to Install a Handrail on a Concrete Wall
Wall-mounted handrails may take a little longer to install than other styles, but many people think they look better. Another benefit is they don’t take up any space, which makes them a great option in limited-space scenarios. Check out our detailed guide for more information on installing wall-mounted handrails.
Order Custom Wall-Mounted Handrail
Wall-mounted handrails are a space-saving way to provide safety and improve the look of exterior stairs. We offer small and large wall handrails to fit your specific needs.
Determine Handrail Height
The first step is determining how high you want your handrail. Most wall handrails are mounted at the height of 36”. It is important to note that the handrail will sit a few inches higher than the anchors, so you need to account for that. Measure from the top and bottom stairs and make a mark on the wall. Connect the two marks with a diagonal line using a long straight edge or level.
Determine Stud Location
For a securely mounted handrail, you need to mount the anchors into a stud. Find the studs in the wall and mark where the diagonal line crosses the stud. Make two marks, one close to the top stair and one close to the bottom.
Mount Anchors to Studs
With the studs marked, you need to mount the wall anchors provided in your kit to the wall. It may help to leave them a little loose so you can make any needed adjustments during the next step with ease.
Mount Handrail
With the wall anchors in place, you can mount the handrail with the self-tapping screws provided in your kit. If you purchased your handrail from somewhere else, you might need to purchase self-tapping screws from a local hardware store.
The Benefits of Wrought Iron Railing
in diy handrailWe believe in the benefits of wrought iron railing, which is why we have been in the business for more than 75 years. Wrought iron railing has been used for hundreds of years because it has key advantages over other railing materials, and offers property owners several benefits. We understand the benefits of wrought iron railing better than most people, and after reading this, we hope you will too.
If you have any additional questions about DIY Handrail and our premium wrought iron railing products, please contact us to speak with one of our knowledgeable team members.
Wrought Iron Railing Adds Safety and Value to Your Property
Many building codes require installing some type of railing for stairs, decks, and other elevated structures. Even if your particular building code does not require rail installations, installing them may still be a good idea.
Wrought iron railing is a fantastic choice for porch, deck, patio, and stair railing because it keeps you, your family, and guests safe from accidental falls. In addition to the safety aspect, or perhaps because of it, wrought iron railing increases the property’s value and makes it more appealing to potential buyers.
Whether you plan on living in your house for the rest of your life or you’re looking to sell, installing a wrought iron handrail can benefit you and your property.
Wrought Iron is Durable
One of the primary appeals of wrought iron railing is its incredible durability. Our wrought iron handrails feature a stainless steel mounting system. Stainless steel mounting is far superior to any other mounting material as it is rust proof and exceptionally rigid.
Iron Railing Adds Curb Appeal
Your new wrought iron railing will improve your home’s curb appeal and have all your neighbors looking on with envy. We offer Newel, Arch, and Picket style handrails so you can find the perfect look to compliment the rest of your property.
Wrought Iron is Customizable
Another appeal of wrought iron railing is the customizability factor. Not very many things that are as durable as wrought iron can also be customized. Wrought iron, on the other hand, will last for decades and can be customized to fit the design plans of any property owner.
Wrought Iron Railing is Low Maintenance
Our wrought iron railing requires little to no routine maintenance. We use high-quality materials that make our products resistant to the natural wear and tear inferior products sustain. As long as you wipe or spray your wrought iron handrails from time to time, they will remain in good shape.
After a significant period of time, your wrought iron handrails may become faded or slightly discolored. When this happens, a quick coat of paint will get them looking as good as new.
Get Your DIY Handrail Today
Nobody knows wrought iron railing better than DIY Handrail. We have been making premium wrought iron products for over 75 years and continue to deliver exceptional products to customers across the nation. If you are in the market for a superior wrought iron handrail, DIY Handrail is the easiest and most affordable option out there. Check out our wide selection of made-to-order handrails. If you have any questions along the way, feel free to contact us.
How to Choose the Right Wrought Iron Railing
in diy handrailOne of the best parts about wrought iron railing can also be one of the most frustrating. These extremely customizable railings provide an affordable, stylish, and functional option for quality DIY Handrails that you can install yourself. However, if you’re anything like me, the existence of so many styles and choices can be overwhelming.
The following is a short guide meant to assist you in selecting your next wrought iron handrails. We give several tips and tricks as well as things you should consider so you end up with the perfect iron railing for the exterior of your home.
These are not set-in-stone rules but rather a set of key components to consider that will inevitably narrow down your possible choices. The good news is that no matter your choice, you can expect a better-looking exterior and increased property value.
Determine the Installation Spot
If you’re looking for the right wrought iron railing, there’s a good chance you already know where it will go. However, this step requires you to take a closer look at the spot so you can have a better idea of the size of the railing and the type of mount you need when ordering your handrail.
We offer handrail models perfect for just about every scenario, but first, you have to know what type of mount you need. Our handrails come in floor-mounted, side mounted, direct burial, wall-mounted, and floor and wall-mounted options. Each one has its purpose, and to narrow it down, you should consider the desired installation spot.
Porch handrails are typically mounted directly to the steps. This goes for handrails along concrete steps and those surrounding the porch’s perimeter. Porch handrails are the most common type of wrought iron railing we sell.
Wall-mounted handrails provide stability while walking upstairs or close to a wall; many think they look better than ground-mounted rails. However, you wouldn’t be able to install one of these around a porch or down the outside of a staircase because there wouldn’t be a wall to mount it to.
Wall and floor-mounted handrails are typically found along the side of cement stairs that have a wall near the top. The railing is secured into the concrete at the base of the steps and into the wall at the top of the stairs. This handrail looks great, and the two different anchor points make for a sturdier railing. Wall and floor mounted handrails are very common in garage entryways.
Determine a Budget
Before making any home improvement purchase, you should have a budget in mind. How much you are looking to spend and how much you are willing to spend are two important numbers to keep in mind when shopping for the perfect wrought iron railing.
Fortunately, our manufacturing process allows us to offer our customers an affordable and high-quality product. Our wrought iron railing is far more affordable than other railing types, and it will last longer!
Assess the Community or HOA Rules
If you live in a gated community or property regulated by a homeowner’s association, there may be rules against certain types of railing. Our handrails comply with most regulations; however, we highly recommend you clear it with yours before you commit to installing a new handrail.
Determine the Model & Style Right for You
Once you know what you are allowed to install and where you plan on installing it, you can decide on the model and style that’s right for you. At DIY Handrail, we offer a picketed and arched style wrought iron railing. Both styles will work with any exterior because the difference is strictly one of appearance.
Contact us for additional questions about our wrought iron railing or tips on choosing the right iron railing for your home. Our knowledgeable team members will be happy to help you find the perfect railing for you. Once you know what you want, request a mockup, and our team will show you what your new railing will look like before installing it.
