Brass Cabinet Railing

LAYOUT GUIDE: for Solid Brass Cabinet Railing

• When selecting, all installations should have an end, corner, or wall mount post on either end.
• Number of center posts varies according to overall length. Space posts equally across front.
• Position of posts is subjective. As typical spacing between posts, across front, is approximately 8” – 14” apart. This is a personal preference.
• Formula to Calculate amount of Center Posts:
  1. Divide railing length, by estimated distance between posts.
  2. Subtract 1, this equals the number of center posts.
  3. Add 2 end posts, wall mount posts or corner posts to finish
  4. However, if total number of center-posts is a fraction, then distance between posts will need to be adjusted to equal an even number of posts.
  
• If brass cabinet railing will be straight, without sides, use end posts or wall mount posts, on each end, depending upon application.
• If brass rail has sides, use corner posts and end posts
• Please note if using sides: side-spacing often differs from front-spacing
• Post Size: Height: 2-7/8", Top Diameter: 1", Base Diameter: 1-1/4"

• Rod Size: 1/4" diameter, available in 36” and 72” lengths
• For railings longer than 72", join two rods together within a center post for a seamless appearance.
• Brass rod is easily cut shorter with a hacksaw, if needed.
• A sketch of how you want your traditional furniture rail to appear is helpful in determining design, post placement and length of rod.

INSTALL GUIDE: use on Wood Surface

Attach brass cabinet railing posts to surface top with wood screws. As a result, these posts cannot be used on glass or stone.

• Layout brass railing
• Cut rods to appropriate lengths
• Loosely assemble rods and posts
  
• Place posts a minimum of 3/8” from edge.
• Mark screw location and drill necessary pilot holes for brass screws
• Slip rods in place. 
• Insert brass screws through holes in base of posts. Carefully screw them down into pre drilled holes.

other IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

• Be sure to choose a railing application that accommodates your project.
• There are 5 additional railing styles: Brass Gallery Rail -- Retro Brass Railing -- Vintage Shelf Rail -- Modern Brass Railing -- Mid-century Modern Rail.
  Installation varies between railing styles. Go to style you want and click on a center, end or corner post to see specific install info.
