MAKE A RAIL INSTALL - Wall Mount Grab Rail on Brick

Moments in this video

1. 1:41–2:29 Layout and Mark Handrail Position From Install Outdoor Handrail, Step 2: Determine Handrail Placement

   Begin by applying a generous strip of blue painter's tape vertically on the masonry wall where the handrail will be installed. Use a tape measure to determine the ideal height for the handrail. For a grab rail like this, 36 inches from the ground is considered an ideal height. Mark this 36-inch point clearly on the painter's tape using a pen or pencil. Next, repeat this marking process at the lower end of the handrail's intended position, ensuring the mark corresponds to the step's bottom point where the handrail will terminate. This establishes the vertical position for both ends of the handrail.

2. 3:52–4:16 Set Second Masonry Anchor and Finalize Installation From Install Outdoor Handrail, Step 8: Test Handrail Stability

   Once the second pilot hole is drilled, you can remove the blue painter's tape from the wall. Insert the second masonry anchor into the freshly drilled hole through the handrail's mounting plate. Use a hammer to firmly drive this anchor into the wall until it is completely seated and the handrail is tightly secured. After both anchors are installed, test the stability of the handrail by applying pressure. It should feel solid and not move, indicating a successful and secure installation.
