About handrail support plates

The support plate is the part of the support that sits against the handrail. The rod sets the height, while the plate makes sure the handrail bears across its full width rather than on a point.

That is why the plate shape is chosen by the handrail, not by the post: a flat profile needs a flat plate, Ø42.4 mm tube needs a concave one.

The Strofix range has six plates: flat and Ø42.4 mm, corner 90° in both shapes, and adjustable in both shapes.

The same plates are used by post supports and wall supports alike – which is why they appear in both sections of the shop. It is one and the same part.

The choice depends on handrail shape, whether the handrail turns at that point, and whether the angle has to be adjusted.

How to choose a handrail support plate

1. Handrail shape: flat or Ø42.4 mm

The flat plate sits against a flat handrail profile; the Ø42.4 mm plate is concave and sits against round tube.

A concave plate on a flat handrail will only touch at the edges, and the joint will work loose over time.

2. Straight or corner 90°

The standard plate is for a straight section of handrail.

The corner 90° plate is for the point where the handrail turns – a standard plate would fit neither direction there.

3. Fixed or adjustable

The fixed plate holds the handrail at 90° to the rod. It suits a horizontal handrail on vertical posts.

The adjustable plate lets the angle change. On stair balustrades it is essential – otherwise the handrail steps at every post.

4. What it connects to

The plate on its own is not a complete assembly – it needs a rod to connect it to a post or a wall.

If you are specifying from scratch, count three parts: an end cap with a thread or a weld-on rod, the rod itself, and the support plate.
