Cable Handrails


I am a distributor of stainless steel cable handrails. On the phone, I call myself a "handrail expert," but there are still things that I don't know about handrailing installations.

I'm here to find out more about what you guys go through every day when installing handrailings and cable railings. I want to learn more so that I can better coach my customers with their own installations.

What are things to keep in mind when installing cables and posts? Any particular tools you find very helpful? Things to avoid? Etc.

Any info/feedback/stories you all can give me would be great! Or if you need assistance/consultation/materials yourself, let me know and I would be glad to assist you.
