Easily adapt Snap’n Lock Balusters for stair applications!
Snap’n Lock™ Stair Adapters snap into the bottom of each regular base connector. Use one pack of Adapters for each Kit of Snap’n Lock Balusters.
It’s so simple that even folks who are just starting out can do it themselves with minimal carpentry experience.
Screw the base into the 2×4.
Snap in the baluster.
Slide down and lock the collar.
Save time and effort by using our Snap’n Lock Baluster Kits for your next railing.
Whether you’re retro-fitting or starting a new project, they’ll make building your railing a snap, even by yourself.
Replace old worn 2×2 wood pickets with Snap Lock Balusters without having to dismantle the entire railing.
Sideways installation makes this possible!
With traditional plug systems, you have to take down the entire railing and rebuild from scratch.
Make sure to measure the gap between your upper and lower 2×4 rails and pick the 25″ or 31″ and then cut them down to your specific gap less 1/2″ for the thickness of the base connectors.
Aluminum is so easy to cut and is not subject to oxidization the same way ferrous metals are.
This saves you a lot of time and money. But the best thing is that you just gave your old worn out wood railing a brand new life.
The collar releases using a slot screwdriver.
Stain or paint around the base quickly and easily. No need to use tape.
Just slide and lock the collar down when you are done
Here is one way to build your stair rail using Snap’n Lock Stair Adaptors and Shadow Rail Connectors.
The elevation contact points for the 2×4 rail connectors depict one possible configuaration resulting in the top rail meeting the newel post at 36″ above the deck surface.
The gap between the underside of the lower rail and the surface of the treads may permit a 6″ ball to fit underneath but never greater. The bottom rail may be set lower to the nosing of the tread if desired.
The angle of typical code compliant stairs ranges between 34°-35°. Baluster lengths shown here assume the Snap’n Lock connector and stair adapters are used. Baluster lengths may vary if the angle changes but rarely exceed 25″.

I have built many decks in my time but this system has to be the best baluster system ever. The setup is easy and the installation is fool-proof. So far it has survived 2 Ottawa winters and it still looks like new. The only minor point was that each box contained balusters of uneven lengths. Some were 31 inches and some were 32 inches and the 32-inch ones had black painted ends. Was easily fixed by cutting them to 31 inches. I would definitely recommend this system.

Needed to build a railing for safety, and this system allowed better lighting and was more visually appealing than a normal wood railing. Great service.
