### Support On Both Sides
One handrail isn't always enough. **Having rails on both sides lets you climb and descend with both hands supported.** Confidence on every step.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** A second rail is especially useful going down - you can face forward and hold both rails rather than turning sideways.

Frequently Asked Questions about Second handrail stairs in Newton Abbot
Why do I need a second handrail?
One rail means one hand supported. Two rails mean you can grip with both hands, pull yourself up, or steady yourself going down. Much safer.
Will it match my existing rail?
We try to match or complement your existing handrail. Same style if possible, or something that looks good alongside it.
Is there room for a second rail?
Most stairs have room. We check the width and ensure there's still comfortable space to walk. Very narrow stairs may have limitations.
How is it fixed?
Securely into the wall with proper fixings. We use the right fixings for your wall type - plaster, brick, or stud. Must be rock solid.
