Grabrails and Handrails
An external grab rail is a sturdy bar that attaches to your wall on one or both sides of your main entrance to your house. They offer handheld support to help you step in and out of your home and are ideal if you have 1 or 2 steps, limited mobility or are a little unsteady on your feet.
There are a range of styles and lengths to choose from.
Things to consider
Ensure rails are securely fitted and checked regularly.
Ensure the rails are designed for external use.
