Step 2

Hold the railing up to the mounting head of the wall bracket. Select the closest "line-up" mark that touches the railing and draw a line square with the railing. Use a square to extend the line 1 1/2" from the bottom of the railing.

Step 3

Place the rail pieces flush with the bottom of the railing so that the "scribe mark" lines up with each line on the railing. Mark the location of the four screw holes for each rail piece. Drill appropriate sized pilot holes and fasten each piece with four #10 x 1" screws provided.
