National Hardware N830-118 Handrail Bracket Adjustable

Product Description

The NATIONAL HARDWARE N830-118 is an oil-rubbed bronze heavy duty handrail bracket designed to secure a wood handrail to a wall stud or other structurally sound surface. The bracket features a zinc die-cast body paired with a steel strap, giving it the structural integrity required for stair and ramp rail applications. The bracket-and-strap assembly adjusts to accommodate any stairway angle, eliminating the need for multiple fixed-angle brackets across a job. Sold individually, this bracket is a practical choice for carpenters, remodelers, and general contractors working on residential stair rail installations.

This bracket is suited for interior and exterior stair handrail installations where a wood rail must be anchored securely to a framed wall. It is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit work. When spacing multiple brackets along a run of handrail, the maximum allowable distance between brackets is 48 inches. The oil-rubbed bronze finish coordinates with common door hardware and decorative rail components in residential settings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified carpenter or contractor following applicable local building codes, which typically reference IRC stair and handrail requirements. Fasten the bracket directly into a wall stud or a structurally sound backing surface — do not anchor solely into drywall. Space brackets no more than 48 inches apart along the rail run. Ensure the rail is fully secured and does not deflect excessively under load before completing the installation.
