THANK YOU! I'm a single parent -- so can't afford to hire help to fix things -- and my handrail up some steep stairs to my 2nd floor have come loose, and no stud to attach it to. I'll give this a try with the toggle thingies!
Glad this video popped up in my search. I have an entire hand rail ripped off the wall leaving those huge holes you talked about. But first I need to find that drill you are using..lol Thanks
I didn't know those existed the first clip. Thanks so much! I was about to do what another video suggested which was cut out a rectangular piece off the wall and insert another piece to the back of it... and then drill and slap some plaster. Your ways seems easier.
We have a basement handrail mount that its mounting screws have pulled out of the wooden stud. Since this is about screws into drywall it doesn't apply to us. Any advice on how to keep screws in the stud when people have to lean heavily on the railing for support would be appreciated. Thanks
Hey Bruce. You are definitely going to need to hit the studs sir. This video helps when you cannot find them but you will need to find them so invest in a stud finder, longer screws or beefier ones. I hope this helps
These look like the types of fixes I do most..... the ones that work! BTW... You look like you're slimming down... You should reshoot your intros with your new svelt look!
Toggles are by far the strongest plaster board fixing in my opinion, can be a bit fiddly depending on how many you are using at once and remember the more holes you put close to each other you are in theory weakening that section of plaster board as you drilled holes close to each other, and when it comes to taking the thing down you fixed you will have to use more toggles and the ones in the wall will fall off down the inside of wall.
I’ve run into the same issue needing to use toggle bolts for my handrail. Curious - should I only use two (instead of three) on each bracket? Assuming you did that to hold up the integrity of the dry wall? Thanks so much for the video!
Hey James if the toggles pull out I would try to run a one by four trim board behind the handrail. Secure the trim board to the stud and then secure the hand rail to it. I hope this helps
I tried this and it worked! My railing has been loose forever and now it's perfect. Thanks.
You are awesome. Thanks for sharing! I knew you could do it.
Man, thanks for this. I always forget about toggle bolts!!! Cheers, Dustin.

Great video! Very helpful!
Thank you Tracy! I appreciate the comment
Thank you 😊
Yes ma’am thank you!
Thanks for the video. On the first railing-why didn’t you move the mounting bracket elsewhere on the rail so it was located at a wall stud?
Great question HAB. I couldn’t find one in the needed area.
Appreciate this alot!
Thank you FJ!
Ty
Thank you me
That’s nice, so when are you available? Lol
Hey king. Anytime my friend

Awesome
Thank you ronald!! Appreciate you sir.
HBO needs to spin off a House of Dragon v House of Luby series. Dragons vs power tools. Gray scale vs hand rails. It'd be epic.
That would be awesome WHP. I’m game if they are. Thanks so much for commenting

You rock ac. Ooh. New intro in the works.
Toggles are by far the strongest plaster board fixing in my opinion, can be a bit fiddly depending on how many you are using at once and remember the more holes you put close to each other you are in theory weakening that section of plaster board as you drilled holes close to each other, and when it comes to taking the thing down you fixed you will have to use more toggles and the ones in the wall will fall off down the inside of wall.
Awesome comment fire. Oh yeah. Those toggles are single use items. Lol
Agree I only use toggles, the only thing I’ve found that let me tighten the bracket to the wall.
I’ve run into the same issue needing to use toggle bolts for my handrail. Curious - should I only use two (instead of three) on each bracket? Assuming you did that to hold up the integrity of the dry wall?
Thanks so much for the video!
Hey Brian. I only use what I feel the situation needs. Two will Definitely suffice and if the drywall is a little shady it may be a good idea.
Thank you so much! Really appreciate the insight!!
Do the toggles work on plaster walls?
Hi Sophie yes they do!
So what to do if the toggles pulled out... 😅
Hey James if the toggles pull out I would try to run a one by four trim board behind the handrail. Secure the trim board to the stud and then secure the hand rail to it. I hope this helps
