Installation Instructions for Aluminum Nosings on Wood

What you will need:

  • Your Handi­Tread(s) and included screws
  • A power drill or a screwdriver
  • tape measure

Instructions:

There are 3 steps included in the proper installation of HandiTreads nosigs on wood. The process is the same if you are installing one nosing or one hundred. If you find that you have any questions, don’t hesitate to call us.

Step 1:

Align the nosing against the front edge of the stair. If installing multiple nosings on one step, use the measuring tape to help position side-to-side in the center of the width of your stairs or the area with the most high-traffic.

Step 2:

Starting with the middle screw holes, drill your screws into the stair working your way out from the center. Make sure that you are drilling perpendicular to the surface and that you use all of the screw holes provided. DO NOT use the raised traction bumps for your screw placement.

Step 3:

Installation is complete once all screws have been drilled into place. There’s no additional maintenance necessary.
