Installation Guide
Level Bracket Set Step 1:
Establish the placement of the bottom of the level panel
based on your desired rail height. Mark a line on your
mounting surface at this height plus 1 1/8" to represent
the top of the mounting bracket (Fig. 24). Make an inter-
secting mark representing the desired center line of your
installed rail panel. Set the bracket in place orienting the
notch in the top of the bracket to the center mark and
attach using 2 fasteners appropriate for the material to
which you are installing the bracket (Fig. 25).
Step 2: Mark the post 34 1/8" (34 1/8" for 34"
high panels or 40 1/8" for 40" high panels) from the
bottom bracket attached in Step 1 (Figs. 26 & 27). Make
an intersecting mark representing the desired center line
of your installed rail panel (this mark is the top of the
bracket). Attach the top bracket as you did the bottom
in step 1.
Step 3: Refer to Step 2 in the Metal Works
Excalibur Level Rail Panel instructions to complete your
installation from this point.

Level Angles Step 1: The level angle bracket is the
same bracket as the stair bracket described above. Level angle mounting
varies greatly on each installation. Test t your rail panels and cut to length
for your specic installation. Follow the general methods described above to
complete your angle installation (Figs. 28 & 29).

CARE & MAINTENANCE
While Metal Works products are low maintenance, like any outdoor product, care must be taken to ensure the railing’s longevity. It is essential that the following instructions be fol-
lowed to prevent damage to the product or personal injury:
1. Regularly, at LEAST once a year, inspect and tighten all fasteners, as fasteners may loosen over time. Note that some surface rust may occur on fasteners. This is normal and
not subject to a warranty claim.
2. It is normal that the powder coat weathers, and the surface may appear chalk-like. To bring back the railing’s nish, clean with only non-abrasive soap or detergent and water.
3. We recommend general cleaning of the railing at least twice a year. Clean any crevices, weld points, and other areas where liquid may become stagnant and cause corrosion or
where pollutants may build up. Remove all sap, bugs, tar, and other dirt and soil from the railing as soon as possible. Heat /sunlight may make such things difcult to remove from
the railing surface and may cause further surface damage.
4. Do not apply industrial strength cleaners, cleaners with bleach, or any harsh chemicals to the railing as this may discolor and damage the railing’s nish. Never use steel wool or
rough materials to clean the railing. If you are unsure if a particular cleaning agent should not be used, test in an inconspicuous area rst.
5. Periodically inspect the railing for chips, scratches, or other damage to the surface. If necessary, touch-up with a zinc rich paint. Rail ends may be painted with any zinc rich
primer or paint. For BLACK touch-ups, we recommend Rust-Oleum
®
*, Satin Canyon Black, Color Code 249844. For BRONZE touch-ups, we recommend Rust-Oleum
®
*, Ham-
mered Brown, Color Code 210880.
