Zipbolt13.960 Angled Slipfix Railbolt — Angled Handrail to Newel Post Connector for Upper Connection, Easy Residential and Commercial Installation, New Construction and Remodels — 1 Double Pack

This was the best railing system I've ever used. Need to go online for videos to understand the instruction but one I got the idea down I followed along and done! They made rhe railing rock solid.Stairs aren't done yet but my daughter was tickled with the results. You'd be crazy to not use these.

Is it common knowledge to turn the screw the opposite way with these kinds of bolts!? I didn’t know! No wonder people strip these guys. Righty loosey, lefty tighty.It took all day to install my small railing, but this product worked for both the upper and lower attachment. I went slow and read all the instructions many times. I did not buy the drill guide, I just used a Forster drill bit, tape measure, and speed square.I also cut the angle on my railing before I got this (it says in big bold letters not to), so I taped on a leftover piece of railing to square off the end to get my measurements right.Note that if you use it for the lower baluster attachment, you ADD 3mm instead of subtract for the end of step 2. I need my railing to be removable which is why I used this for top and bottom.

I found these products well designed, functional and easy to install. I used the 11.560 angled rail bolt, 13.960 angled slipfix rail bolt, and the 13.810 slipfix rail bolts for my balcony and staircase project. I did have two issues, one with your packaging and the other with the locking cam. All packages came with a product skew tagged over part of the instructions. The easy fix was to download the installation guide from your website. Also had an issue with one of the nuts on one of the locking cams. It did not want to accept the threaded rail bolt, which kept the rail bolt from retracting enough to clear the keyhole disc, so i could set the rail. Thankfully I had enough spare parts in my order to make another cam work. Lastly, read the instructions completely, take notice of the tips in bold print, and fully understand each step as they do a good job guiding you through the process. Overall, the Zipbolt fastening systems are all great products and i would use them on future projects.

Easy and secure.

The idea is great BUT it does not give a since of security no matter how tight you make adjustmemnt. You have to figure out how to actually bolt it to the stud in the wall because you may not be able to break it loose the hand rail has way to much wiggle to provide a since of security. and if you shake an lift up it will come off column since there is no locking pin in place.
