How hard is it to install a stair railing?
Installing a stair handrail can be a challenging undertaking. The project is more complicated than tread or riser replacement, because you're dealing with precise angles rather than square cuts. The rail system must be securely supported by newels that are solidly fastened to the framing of the floor or wall.
Is it illegal not to have a handrail on stairs?
If your home has three or fewer steps, there's no need to install a handrail. However, homes having four or more stairs must have a rail mounted on at least one side if the stairway is less than 44 inches wide. If one edge of the stairwell is open, that's where the handrail must be.

How do I calculate stair railing?
Before you go shopping for your handrails for stairs, measure from the nosing of the top landing to the floor at the bottom of the stairs and add 2 ft. This is the length of stair railing material you'll need. You'll find code-approved handrail and the other materials you'll need at lumberyards and home centers.
