Review on Easy-To-Install Staircase Connector: Zipbolt Slipfix Railbolt For Strong Handrail To Newel Post Connection, 1 Double Pack With 5Mm Hex And Wood Plugs — Ideal For Residential & Commercial Use by Christopher Kanter

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Does not Work With Dual Rails

The product is really designed for single railing. My porch has large top and bottom rails so it took 4 devices for each section. Aligning the 4 pins and receivers was impossible no matter how accurate I was. My railings and balusters are fairly heavy so getting the pins all in was not possible. I finally resorted to 3" trim screws for installation.

Pros
  • Rate 5 stars +++++
Cons
  • May require extensive sanding and finishing to blend in with existing woodwork
