Signature Select Top Mount Terminal Post

Yes. Signature Series refers to the design of the collection. Within that, Signature Select is the only option that’s fully stainless steel—including posts, handrail, tensioners, and cable. Signature Classic and Signature Midnight include aluminum posts and handrail paired with some stainless steel components.

Yes. All Signature Select posts, handrail, and components are made from marine-grade T316 stainless steel, making it ideal for coastal or other harsh environments.

Included with our posts are both post-mounting and handrail-mounting screws. They also come with built-in leveling screws that are perfect to pair with our Post Leveling Plates.

Signature Series Posts are pre-tapped for our tensioners, whereas Venture Series Posts have the tensioning technology integrated directly into the post.

Leveling plates replace the need for shims or washers while protecting your mounting surface. The leveling screws built into your post will press against the plate’s surface instead of your deck—the best solution to get plumb posts.

No, Post Leveling Plates are an optional component, so you will need to purchase them separately.

Nope. Rather than using our top and bottom stair posts which include a pivoting head, you can use a handrail hinge with an end, 2-way, or corner post to transition from level to stair run. While they’re optional, a bottom stair post might allow for more flexibility when positioning your posts and helps to keep you code compliant.

Top and Bottom Stair Posts feature a pivoting top, so you don’t need a hinge. The Bottom Stair Post also has tensioning holes shifted up 1" to help cables clear stair nosing and meet code.

No. Stair posts are designed to replace the need for a hinge. If you prefer using a hinge at the top and bottom, stick with standard terminal posts instead.

You can request your preferred stair layout in the estimate form, or contact us directly to update your quote.

Note: a standard tensioning post refers to a non-stair post.
