Post-Side Handrail Bracket

Was both an only and perfect solution for an unconventional termination.

Cable Bullet Side Handrail Connector

While the bracket, once installed, does provide a nice, clean look, the trade-off is in the strength of the connection as well as the overall installation headaches. It’s difficult to mark the holes that have to be drilled into the handrail, as well as drill them at the proper angle in order to get the screws to set properly and with proper strength to keep the rail in place (once tensioners are under tension). Overall, Cable Bullet is a very good system, but the learning curve as well as some of the handrail fastening and joinery engineering make it a bigger challenge with steep learning curve, even for advanced DIYers. It does look like they are listening to their customers and updating some of the designs to make it a little friendlier.

Ideal railing mount

Love how small and unobtrusive the post side handrail brackets are. They work perfectly and are barely noticeable. Plus the stainless steel blends nicely with our cable rail.
