A perfectly designed handrail profile strikes a delicate balance between form and function. A safe handrail must be easy to grasp by any size hand. A beautiful handrail mirrors the other architectural elements of the home and looks stunning from both above and below. We are proud to offer handrail from Fitts as well as our customer Cooper Stair parts handrail. All Cooper handrail and fittings are made in our own shop and available in many wood species.

Fasteners and Accessories

Zipbolts Fasteners
The ZIPBOLT™ UT Rail Bolt uses the same hole boring configuration as traditional rail bolts, but its ease of installation makes it very different. The ZIPBOLT™ UT one-piece totally integrated gear head replaces the old nut and washer making it quick and simple to join stair parts together using common bits and drivers. Instead of trying to fit a nut and wrench into a 1″ hole, the installer easily tightens the bolt with a hex driver bit and an adjustable torque drill or ratcheting screwdriver, or a simple allen wrench can be used.

Accessories
Plugs, fasteners, brackets – we have everything you need for clean installation.
