From Stair Handrail Installation, Step 3: Position and Mark Bracket Locations
Move to the top of the staircase and repeat the measuring process to mark the location for the top bracket. Use the same method of measuring from the stair tread nose and accounting for the handrail and bracket height. Adjust the horizontal position of this mark to ensure it aligns with an available wall stud. If the initial alignment doesn't match a stud, shift to an adjacent stud and recalculate the required height from that stud's location to maintain the overall slope and height consistency of the handrail. Once a suitable stud is found, mark the bottom of the top bracket's position on the wall.
