About Our Handrail Fittings

L.J. Smith offers two types of handrail fittings. Our “Traditional” fittings utilize rail bolts for installation and our patented line of Conect-A-Kit® fittings provide an even better and stronger method for securing handrail fittings to the handrail and to the newel posts. Aside from their common applications, seven of these fittings, used in combination, will make up 26 different Landing Fitting Assemblies (gooseneck fittings).

Conect-A-Kit® unique design also conceals every bit of the installation hardware.

About Our Wood Balusters

We offer two types of balusters to suit your installation and aesthetic preferences. Our “LJ-” Series utilizes a double-end lag screw in the bottom of each baluster. This technique pulls the balusters extremely tight against the surface, producing a very strong railing system.... and the hardware is completely concealed. The turning details of these carefully designed balusters flow parallel to the handrail.

The “S-” Series balusters have a turned pin on the bottom for installation and their bottom block detail flows parallel to the treads.

The choice is yours to experience the finest, and we're convinced that, after your L.J. Smith stairway is completed and you're settled into your new or remodeled home, you will have peace of mind from knowing you made the right choice!
