Using the Deltana 3-Foot Projection Handrail Bracket is easy. First, find a suitable location on your staircase or deck where you want to install the handrail. Make sure the surface is flat and clean. Then, align the bracket with the pre - drilled holes on the handrail and the mounting surface. Use the appropriate screws to secure the bracket firmly. When it comes to maintenance, simply wipe the bracket with a soft, dry cloth regularly to keep it looking good. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can damage the finish. Also, check the screws periodically to ensure they are tight and the bracket remains stable. If you notice any signs of wear or damage, replace the bracket right away to maintain safety.
