Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a wall-mounted and a glass-mounted handrail bracket?
A wall-mounted handrail bracket fastens directly into wall framing or solid blocking, while a glass-mounted bracket clamps onto a tempered glass guard or balustrade. Casson Hardware carries both formats and lists the mounting type on every handrail bracket product page.
Are Casson Hardware handrail brackets suitable for residential and commercial use?
Yes. Casson Hardware sources handrail brackets specified for both residential and commercial applications, with structural performance and load characteristics confirmed on each product page.
What load capacity should I specify for a handrail bracket?
Handrail bracket spacing and load are typically governed by the applicable building code for the project. Casson Hardware lists structural load characteristics where published by the manufacturer; final spacing should be confirmed by the project engineer or installer.
What finishes are available for handrail brackets at Casson Hardware?
Casson Hardware stocks handrail brackets in solid brass, polished stainless steel, brushed stainless steel, blackened steel, and powder-coated finishes. Finish availability varies by manufacturer.
Can handrail brackets be coordinated with other architectural wall hardware?
Yes. Casson Hardware carries handrail brackets in finish families that coordinate with hooks, shelving, grab bars, and other wall hardware so a project can specify across the wall plane in one finish.
Does Casson Hardware ship handrail brackets across Canada?
Yes. Casson Hardware ships handrail brackets to all Canadian provinces and territories from our Toronto warehouse, with delivery to the United States also available.
Is trade pricing available for handrail brackets?
