» SIGNATURE POSTS CANNOT BE USED WITH
SIGNATURE TRADITIONAL OR SIGNATURE
COCKTAIL STAIR DESIGNS, ONLY PRESSURE-
TREATED POST/POST SLEEVES CAN BE USED.
REFER TO DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS FOR MORE
INFORMATION.
» ALL SIGNATURE STAIR INSTALLATIONS REQUIRE
THE USE OF 53" (134.6 CM) STAIR POST,
MEASURED AND CUT TO APPROPRIATE LENGTH IF
REQUIRED.
» IF CROSSOVER STAIR POST IS REQUIRED, USE
STAIR POST (AGAIN CUT TO APPROPRIATE LENGTH
IF REQUIRED) AND USE SWIVEL CROSSOVER
BRACKET.
» SIGNATURE STAIR FIXED BRACKETS ARE
DESIGNED TO WORK ONLY WITH STAIR SLOPES OF
32°-37°.
» FOR SMALLER (LESS THAN 32°) OR LARGER
ANGLES (GREATER THAN 37°), USE THE
SIGNATURE STAIR SWIVEL BRACKETS.
» SIGNATURE COMPOUND SWIVEL STAIR BRACKETS
ARE DESIGNED FOR FLARED STAIR DESIGNS.
» IF INSTALLING STAIR RAILINGS AT EXACT SPAN
LENGTHS OF 6' (1.8 M) OR 8' (2.4 M) AND USING
POST TO POST CONFIGURATION, THE BOTTOM
STAIR RAIL WILL NOT NEED TO BE CUT*, BUT THE
TOP STAIR RAIL WILL NEED TO BE MEASURED
(MAKING SURE BALUSTERS LINE UP VERTICALLY)
AND CUT.
» IF INSTALLING STAIR RAILINGS AT EXACT SPAN
LENGTHS OF 6' (1.8 M) OR 8' (2.4 M), AND USING
CROSSOVER POST CONFIGURATION (SPANS FROM
ONE CROSSOVER POST TO ANOTHER CROSSOVER
POST), BOTH THE BOTTOM AND TOP STAIR RAILS
WILL NOT NEED TO BE CUT* IF THE ANGLE IS
APPROXIMATELY 34°.
» AT ALL FINAL END POST CONFIGURATIONS, TOP
STAIR RAIL WILL NEED TO BE MEASURED (MAKING
SURE BALUSTERS LINE UP VERTICALLY) AND CUT.
» FOR ODD SPAN LENGTHS, BOTH BOTTOM AND
TOP STAIR RAILS WILL NEED TO BE MEASURED
(MAKING SURE BALUSTERS LINE UP VERTICALLY)
AND CUT. ALSO ENSURE THAT BALUSTERS ARE
SPACED WITH EQUAL DISTANCE ON EACH SIDE OF
THE POST.
» RAILS THAT DO NOT REQUIRE CUTTING MUST
BE ORIENTED IN THE CORRECT DIRECTION TO
ENSURE BALUSTERS ARE SPACED PROPERLY
WHEN INSTALLED IN BRACKETS. ON BOTH
BOTTOM AND TOP STAIR RAILINGS, BALUSTER
HOLE CLOSEST TO THE END OF THE EACH STAIR
RAIL IS TO BE INSTALLED AT THE TOP OF THE
STAIR SECTION. ENSURE THAT BOTH BOTTOM AND
TOP RAILS ARE CORRECT AND BALUSTERS LINE UP
