  • FAST INSTALLATION – Attaching handrails to fittings is no longer a tedious, time consuming process. For the lower connection: Wax and screw the railbolt into the reamed newel post, place the housing gear inside the railing, and tighten the gear with the included T30 Torx driver using a screwdriver or cordless drill. For the upper connection: Assemble the rail bolt shaft and gear housing in the rail, install the keyhole disc, and tighten the gear with the included 5mm hex bit using a screwdriver or cordless drill. NOTE: Impact drivers should not be used when tightening the gear housing.
  • A COMPLETE PACKAGE – The package includes everything you need to attach an angled handrail to fixed stairway newel posts. It contains 2 angled rail bolts, 2 angled slipfix rail bolts, 4 red oak wood plugs, and 2 Torx drivers (T30). Use the instructions on the packaging to guide yourself through the installation process.
  • DURABLE CONSTRUCTION – Created by professionals for residential and commercial use, these Zipbolts are made with quality steel for maximum durability and provide a solid and stable connection without the frustration of traditional methods.
  • INNOVATIVE PATENTED DESIGN – Zipbolt offers a distinctive patented gear drive that outperforms all others in terms of functionality. The innovative UT gear-driven mechanism eliminates the issues associated with conventional techniques of joining stair newels to rails. The railbolt housing's distinctive open channel allows the housing to be dropped directly on the shaft, eliminating the need for cumbersome nuts and washers.

Details:

The Zipbolt UT Angled Railbolt 11.560 was designed for the stair industry to solve the challenge of securely attaching an angled handrail to a newel post using a hidden fastener. The connector features UT gear-driven technology, allowing easy tightening at a right angle, deep within the handrail, using a Torx driver in a drill or screwdriver.

The pivoting 8mm shaft has a coach bolt (wood thread) that can be hand-wound directly into the post. Once the handrail is bored and the angle cut, it attaches quickly and securely. The pivoting action adjusts to any angle – open or closed – creating a strong joint without the need for a long, visible screw through the face of the newel post or unsightly filled nail holes.

The Zipbolt 13.960 Angled Slipfix Railbolt is the companion to the Zipbolt 11.560 Angled Railbolt, designed specifically for securing a handrail to a post at an acute angle (such as an upstairs joint).

The angled shaft is pre-installed into the rail with a slight protrusion, allowing it to slot directly into the fitted keyhole disc in the post. Once engaged, the Zipbolt’s gear-driven system tightens the joint using the included T30 Torx driver, creating a precise and durable connection.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE AN IMPACT DRIVER TO INSTALL THIS PRODUCT.
