ProLock® Locking System
- A patented internal locking strip system secures the rails to the balusters without exposed screws, creating a clean, seamless look and reducing potential corrosion points.
Pros:

- Durability: Built to handle weather — salt spray testing implies good longevity in coastal settings.
- Aesthetic Flexibility: Two top-rail profiles + color options + “cocktail rail” adapter give design flexibility — you can make the rail look more modern, traditional, or functional (flat top to place items).
- Clean Finish: The ProLock system hides fasteners for a sleek look.
- Low Maintenance: Aluminum railings don’t need painting or regular rot-repair like wood.
- Height Options: With post extensions and 36″ / 42″ kits, you can adapt to different local code height requirements or design preferences.
