Step 5 · Test for Stability and Safety

Apply firm pressure to the handrail at various points, including the top, bottom, and middle. Push and pull on the handrail to check for any looseness or movement. Ensure all connections are tight and the handrail feels solid. Test it by having multiple people of varying weights apply pressure. If any looseness is detected, re-tighten all screws and re-evaluate bracket security.
