Curved & angled support pins: The solution for corners and offsets

A handrail does not always run in a perfectly straight line over the post. As soon as you need to go round a corner when installing a balustrade, or wish to offset the handrail to the side, standard straight pins are no longer sufficient. In this category, you will find our special stainless steel support pins for complex geometries. They enable neat corner joints and elegant transitions without the need for time-consuming on-site welding work.


Which shape for which situation?

We stock three main types of curved connecting pins, each designed to solve a specific structural challenge:

1. 135° Curved Support Pins (For Corners)

The classic choice for corner solutions. When two handrails meet at a 90° angle (or a 45° mitre), this pin ensures a correct connection. It is permanently bent to 135° and is ideal for connecting corner posts to the handrail bracket in a visually appealing way.

2. Cranked pins (double-bent / S-shape)

These pins form an ‘S-shape’. They are used when the handrail is not to sit centrally above the post, but requires a lateral offset. This is often necessary to increase the passage width on staircases or to create greater clearance from the wall.

3. Support pins “for bending” (flexible)

Our solution for custom angles. These solid pins feature a tapered ‘waist’ in the middle. At this point, the stainless steel pin can be bent to the desired angle using a suitable tool (and a little force). Perfect for older buildings or irregular angles that do not conform to any standard.


Technical details

Our bent versions are also available in the standard diameters (Ø 12 mm / Ø 14 mm ) and connection types. Choose between models with external or internal threads for screw mounting, or versions with a smooth end for welding . Manufactured from high-quality V2A stainless steel for a durable and corrosion-resistant finish.
