Benefits Of Our Handrail Brackets
Part M Compliant Wall Mounted Rails
Using our Kee Access fittings range keeps the rails smooth and continuous the whole way, suiting Part M of the Building Regulations. All handrail ends should turn down or inwards towards the wall in order to alert the user that the handrail has ended. This also limits the likelihood that a bag or clothing can get snagged as people walk by. To ensure that the user can also have their hand on the rail before they start to shift their weight on to a stairs or ramp, the rail should also protrude by the end of the steps by 300mm (1 foot).
Where are Our Handrails Installed
Our wall mounted handrails are installed on the inside of ramps on both public buildings and private dwellings, providing safe access.
Our rails are also mounted internally in stairwells in schools and apartment hallways. Here, they not only provide a safe hand-hold, but also guide people around, not only up flights but from door to door.

How To Install A Tube Clamp Handrail
Our tube clamps make installing a handrail very simple. Each fitting contains one or more grub screws which are easily tightened using just an allen key, or hexagonal headed drill bit. The grub screw then closes in towards the tube as it is tightened, until it clamps the tube in place. This creates an extremely strong joint and is a fantastic way of installing a rail with the miniumum of fuss.
The alternative to our easy-install rail is to look for a more expensive welded solution. This may also involve waiting on hot work permits and can dramatically hold up a project, whereby a tube clamp handrail can be installed by just about anyone with basic DIY skills.
