Review on Zipbolt Angled Handrail To Newel Post Connector — 11.560 Angled Staircase Railbolt For Lower Connection Acute Angle Post Fastener, Easy Installation For Residential And Commercial Use — 5 Double Packs by Bob Souza

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Well-designed product that could use more comprehensive instructions.

These articulated bolts did the trick for connecting the angled portions of my custom 6910 handrail. That said, it would have been good to have access to more comprehensive and detailed instructions for how to use and finesse these for handrails with lots of curves and angles that need to turn out perfectly. Even with me doing mock-ups and building jigs to assist with boring and alignment before actually installing, it was a challenge with standard hand tools.

Pros
  • The angled handrail to newel post connector ensures safety and stability
Cons
  • Poor material selection leads to excessive weight
