How to Request a Handrail Site Visit for Measurement

Why a Site Visit Matters for Handrails

Handrails look simple, but their exact dimensions depend on the real conditions on site. Walls may not be perfectly straight, stair treads can vary slightly, and balconies often have uneven floors. A measurement taken on site, rather than from a rough sketch, ensures the railing fits correctly the first time.

Measuring on site also lets us check the anchoring points, the height and the spacing between posts, so the finished railing is both safe and comfortable to use.

What to Prepare Before Your Request

Having a few details ready makes the first contact faster and more useful. Please gather the following:

• Clear photos of the staircase or balcony from several angles
• A rough description of the area, such as indoor stair, outdoor balcony or terrace
• The material you prefer, for example steel, stainless steel or aluminum
• Your address and a few preferred dates or times for the visit

How to Send Your Request

You can reach us through the contact form on our website or by WhatsApp. Write a short message that includes your name, the location of the project and the photos you have. If you are a contractor, architect or interior designer, mention the project name so we can match the request to your plans.

Our team reviews each request and replies to confirm the next step and arrange a convenient time for the visit.

What Happens During the Visit

During the site visit, our technician measures the length of each section, the height from the step or floor, the wall fixing points and any obstacles such as corners or light fixtures. We also note the surface type so the right anchoring method is chosen.

If the building has specific requirements, we discuss them on site. Exact safety values are checked with the engineer according to the applicable standard, including Israeli railing standard SI 1142.

From Measurement to Production

After the visit, we prepare a drawing and a written specification that show the dimensions, materials and finishing. You review and approve these documents before anything goes into production, so you know exactly what will be built.

Once approved, the handrail is manufactured in our factory at Rival Street 37, Tel Aviv, then finished with hot-dip galvanizing or powder coating as needed, and installed at your site.

Tips for a Smooth Visit

To make the visit efficient, keep access to the staircase or balcony clear and let us know about any work that is still in progress. If the walls are not yet finished, tell us so we can plan the fixings accordingly.

• Keep the area accessible and well lit
• Share any plans or drawings you have
• Mention any existing railing that must be replaced

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be home during the site measurement?

It is helpful if someone is present to open the area and answer questions. If you cannot attend, make sure the site is accessible and that we know who to contact.

What information should I send with my request?

Send photos of the area from several angles, a short description of the location and your preferred material. Your contact details and a few possible visit times are also useful.

Do I have to approve the drawing before production?

Yes. We prepare a drawing and written specification after the visit, and production starts only after you approve them.

Can you measure a handrail for a building project before construction is finished?

Yes, but we recommend confirming the final wall and floor levels first. Let us know the project stage when you send your request so we can plan the visit.

Common mistakes to avoid

Requesting a handrail without photos or accurate site details often leads to delays and extra visits. Measuring from a rough sketch instead of on site can cause fitting problems later.

Our recommendation

Take clear photos from several angles and note any existing fixings before contacting us, so the site visit can be planned efficiently and accurately.

Summary

A handrail site measurement visit starts with a clear request containing photos and site details, followed by an on-site measurement, a approved drawing and then production.
