Setup A
Stairs with single landing
The most common setup for our Stair Handrails and Horizontal Handrails / Wall Extension, Setup A is frequently installed at doorways and home entrances. If the landing is 4’ or less and the wall has structural integrity, we recommend terminating with our Stair Handrail Wall Extension. If the landing is 4’ or more or the wall does not have structural integrity, we recommend terminating with the Horizontal Handrail Kit.
