Traditional Handrail Fittings

Handrail fittings are components that are attached to handrail to allow the handrail to start at the bottom of the stairway in an aesthetically pleasing fashion, make transitions in the handrail height or pitch or sit upon the top of over the post newels. Handrail fittings are profiled to match the profile of the handrail and some fittings may also be used in post to post applications. L.J. Smith’s traditional handrail fittings utilize rail bolts for the installation and are available in most of our handrail profiles. Handrail fittings can be crafted in 14 standard and custom wood species, with additional species available by quote.
