Remove handrail mount

[Saband]

Hello,
We are renovating the staircase and can't remove the handrail bracket. Does anyone know if it's just one screw on this type of older bracket that needs to be turned, or are there more screws under the round plate? We can spin the plate but it doesn't come off. When we try to turn the whole bracket, it is stuck like a rock. We don't want to apply too much force in case there are more screws under the plate that need to be loosened. Risk of damaging the beadboard.
Does anyone know how these brackets work?

Haha love that you managed to upload 3 movies on a toy fish


Try turning the bracket, that's what I would have done!

It's unfortunate that someone placed hardboard over fine beadboard...

It is held in place by a large screw in the middle, so try using all your strength. If that doesn't work, you'll need to use tools.

We are renovating the staircase and can't remove the handrail bracket. Does anyone know if there is only one screw on this type of older bracket that should be turned, or are there more screws under the round plate? We can spin the plate but it doesn't come off. When we try to turn the whole bracket, it is stuck like glue. We don't dare to apply too much force if there might be more screws under the plate that need to be loosened.

It could be a connector screw holding the bracket. That's how our handrail was fastened.

One end screws into the handrail bracket, the other into the wall. Try turning the bracket counterclockwise, either the bracket will come off the screw or the screw will loosen from the wall.

Test twist the mount, I would have done that!

Yeah, it was a bit stressful for a while before I got rid of the fish-movies Don't know how it happened, ha ha
Thanks for the response about the mount, we'll try twisting it then.

Thanks! We'll try again.

It might be a splice screw that the bracket is attached with. That's how our handrail was attached.

Thanks! We'll try that.

Sad that someone put hardboard on top of nice beadboard...

Yes, the house is from 1910 and over the hardboard lots of layers of wallpaper.

 

[Keiller]

Thank you! We'll try that.

Do that. There are also screws with other threads than the one I showed in the picture, but the function is the same. Just turn.

Hi,
We're renovating the staircase and can't remove the handrail bracket. Does anyone know if there's only one screw on this type of older bracket that needs to be turned, or are there more screws under the round plate? We can rotate the plate but it won't come off. When we try to turn the entire bracket, it is as solid as a rock. I'm hesitant to apply too much force in case there are more screws under the plate that need to be loosened. There's a risk that the beadboard might break.

It's secured with a large screw in the middle, so try applying as much force as you can. If that doesn't work, you'll need to use tools

Status update: it turned out that we could unscrew the top part, remove the tube, the plate, and then there were four screws.

Status update: it turned out that it was possible to unscrew the top part, remove the pipe, the washer, and then there were four screws.

That bracket, the square one screwed into the wall, I recognize. The same ones are in my mom's house built in 1912. However, I don't recognize the round cover piece.

Then I was wrong I thought you would have something similar to the fitting I wrestled with in my staircase. Although my house is a bit newer (1914)

Glad it worked out!
