Deckorators Secondary ADA Handrail Lineals
✅ What it is
The “Secondary ADA Handrail Lineals” (also called the ADA-Compliant Secondary Handrail) is a modular handrail system designed to provide a graspable, ADA-compliant handrail alongside a primary deck/stair railing. It’s intended as a secondary handrail (often on stairs or ramps) to meet building code/ADA-type requirements.
Key points:
-
Compatible with wood, composite or aluminum railing systems (for the main rail) and connects to standard posts of 2.5″ or larger.
-
Comes in multiple components (straight lineals brackets, joiners, elbows, returns, wall mounts, etc.) so you can build a continuous graspable rail system.
-
Available in a few finish colors: Textured Black or Textured White.
Key Specifications & Features
Here are some of the important specs and features to know:
-
Handrail profile: The main rail piece is roughly 1.5″ diameter (or 1.5″ x ~7′-11″ length typical) for the lineal version.
-
Finish: Powder-coated aluminum — ensures exterior durability, low maintenance.
-
Code-compliance: The system is marketed as “ADA-compliant” (or “ADA-compliant secondary handrail”) meaning it meets certain graspability, return/loop and installation geometry requirements for accessibility/handrail codes.
-
Compatibility: Works with posts 2.5″ or larger (aluminum posts) and can integrate with other railing systems.
-
Range of components: Straight rail, 90° corners, 180° loops, return loops, inside/outside corner brackets, offset brackets, wall mounts, joiners. This gives flexibility for stairs, ramps, landings.
-
Applicability: Suitable for both residential and commercial installations (where a graspable secondary handrail is required) per the manufacturer.
Why Use It / Advantages
-
Safety & Code-Readiness: If your deck/stair installation requires a secondary handrail (for example the main railing doesn’t meet “graspable” standards or you have four or more risers), this system covers that requirement.
-
Durability & Low-Maintenance: Aluminum + powder coat means you don’t have to worry about rotting, painting like wood, etc.
-
Visual Integration: Since it’s from Deckorators and available in finishes to match their rail systems, it tends to blend well with deck railing aesthetic.
-
Modular & Flexible: Because you have many component options (straight, elbow, return loop, etc.), you can tailor to stairs, ramps, various angles, landings.
-
Graspable Design: The shape/profile is designed to meet handrail graspability requirements (important for accessibility).
Secondary Handrail components can be used to construct an ADA-compliant secondary railing, which is often needed for meeting special building codes.For extra safety use Deckorators ADA-compliant handrail.
