Metty Metal Handrails for Outdoor Steps Suitable for 1 to 5 Steps- Wrought Iron Stair Railing- Step Steady with 5 Feet Handrailing- Safe Indoor Home Banisters (Black-Curve, 4 Step)

The handrail assembles easily and is extremely sturdy. It will NOT install as a LEVEL rail although when I asked about it I was told that it would. I had to make an added riser to the wooden base I was using for this temporary need. Still, the rail looks great and is strong. But do not sit or climb on it. The coating seems good and the rail itself is smooth yet does not feel slippery. If needed, there are some "traction" spray coatings that may work - clear and with a mild abrasive material mixed in. One light spray would suffice. I did not do this but that would be added peace of mind. I would not recommend this for a very heavy use-need and I definitely cannot speak to any Code or ADA specifications. For the need I have - just a handy rail for a little stability - this is perfect. Mine is lag-screwed onto the wooden base and the base just sits there. It is heavy, treated wood and very stable - for this need. I will update this if any issues develop with the coating and it's exposure to the rain, etc. This came with good instructions. Noter that for the lower cross-bar - you install the brackets OPPOSITE of one another - one up and one down. For the Top Rail - the two brackets go the SAME WAY. An EXCELLEN tool kit is included. It has a long MAGNETIC bit holder, a masonry drill bit, a regular drill bit and a nut driver. All seem to be of a decent metal construction.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This fit the bill perfectly, looked good, included all the hardware including drill bits and it looked simple to assemble. I bought two one for each side of my stairs. It took me about 90 minutes to assemble both. Installed they look great and are sturdy. Lessons learned:The instruction manual shows the assembly steps but they are out order, almost right to left. Sequencing of the assembly is important since the cross pieces, the rail and cross bar positions depend on the anchored uprights to fit properly. If you are anchoring into concrete, use a hammer drill. Per YouTube I was lead to believe I could use my cordless drill using the provided concrete bit. If I had I'd still be drilling.

I ordered a pair of these railings for the entry from our garage into our family room. It is two steps and I had a handy man install them and mount them to the concrete garage floor. They have made entry and exit into our home so much safer and easier. They are well made and attractive and I am very pleased with them. I also feel that they are well priced and a good investment for an older couple.

I would have given 5 stars for sure if not for couple things. Firstly though the quality is superb, hardware awesome, very high-end. The problems come in with the UNCLEAR instructions. Like the directional stuff but that was easy enough to fix. What was the biggest problem was the 2ND RAIL BUSINESS. I had to TAPE IT both ends in order to work with it AT ALL. THEN, and kinda funny Now, but those little "self-drilling" screws? HA! NO, not only a big fat NOT self drilling, not even WITH A DRILL. What a joke! So, already having to tape 2nd rail ends, juuust left it lol These companies apparently still have no idea how BAD, Incompetent instructions are hurting their otherwise awesome products. Too bad, you are a 4. The star rating from 4 to 5 should indeed have 1-9 in between. That said, I'd give this company 4.2

very sturdy when installed properly. It is attractive as well. I was concerned it would look "handicap" on the back steps, but it adds a good look to the back sliding door area.

Normally don’t give reviews but this was such a great product at a reasonable price that I thought it deserved a good review. Would love to have another one for the other side of the steps. Just can’t afford one right now. Very sturdy rail once installed. Good quality steel. Heavy duty. Instructions were a little confusing. For example, on the section labeled part 2, it says to continue to step 5 when attaching the rail to wood but there is no step 5 in the instructions. I got it figured out but not sure why there was a reference to “step 5”. Anyway if you need a rail, this might just be the ticket. 5 stars.

These stairs railings are very easy to install, and are very sturdy!! I was pleasantly surprised at the heavy duty construction, and how great they look!

Product is sturdy and well packaged. Install is straightforward however there could be a couple of minor improvements.1) The supplied concrete anchors use a flimsy looking sheet metal shield to lock them in the concrete. I would prefer they were a typical redhead style . But I understand the use of bolts in order to fit under the baseplate cover. I do not know how well they would last in am exterior application.2) The provided 10mm drill bit is rather short for drilling through the baseplate holes and is designed for an SDS Max drill instead of the typical SDS Plus drill. I wasn't even aware that you could get a 10mm SDS Max drill. Fortunately the supplied anchors worked fine with a 3/8" hole.3) The top bracket is more than 3 1/2" tall. If you're installing into blocking, it would be better to have a 2x6 or you can redrill the lower hole in the top bracket.4) The top bracket attaches with a stud and two cap nuts. It would look nicer to use the swivel bracket's Chicago screw.All minor issues. The product provides a secure handhold at a low price. I will use it again if I need another.
