Ives by Schlage 059A-716 Hand Rail Bracket

Bought these to install a second handrail on a short staircase, they are a perfect match for the ones I bought 20 years ago. Contrary to some earlier reviews, the provided screws are more than strong enough to resist breaking......as long as you pre-drill the screw holes, and apply a little bit of bar soap or wax to the threads. Pre-drilling and lubricating the threads should be common practice for all wood screws, especially for brass wood screws.

Schlage has made these for quite a while. I ordered extras to reinforce our stair rail which was attached with only two brackets. Installation in this instance was difficult due to the contour of the small brackets that screw to the wooden rail. They are not deep enough to accommodate the end of the wall bracket, preventing the small bracket from screwing down completely to the rail. I managed to get the job done, but with difficulty. The other existing brackets could be deeper, too, but they are deeper than these new ones. and screw down completely.these are made of anodized aluminum. the finish should stand up well- the existing brackets are over 10 years old and in good condition. I had no problem with them but as they are aluminum keep in mind they may be very stiff and a little brittle. they seem very strong. Be certain the screws all go into a wall stud. this will require a high quality stud finder, as the screw holes are wide enough apart to make getting into a stud a little tricky.

We purchased three of these for a 12-foot long railing. These satin nickel brackets not only look nice, but they can support a heavy hand railing.

Cast, not the best finish.

I wasn’t expecting it to arrive with 1 handrail bracket. Rated low because I’ll have to purchase another one now.

I love how these look on my stair case!

They include screws

The top of my basement’s handrail does not have a bracket. As a result, over the years, the handrail separated from the wall on that spot, creating a safety issue. I’ve wanted to fix it for the longest time, but didn’t know how. I saw this product on Amazon and decided to give it a try. Lo and behold – I did it in less than half an hour!This bracket comes in two solid metal pieces and 5 nails – 3 long ones (to attach to the wall) and 2 short ones (to attach to underneath the wooden rail). It was very easy! The only tool you'll need is power drill. I now have a very secure handraill. What a GREAT product!

Holds up a hand rail which is why I bought it. Bracket is solid and a breeze to install so no issues with it.

Sturdy replacement.

Works well..make sure to predrilled holes..

Works great easy to install! Exactly as expected!
