Is there an 'accepted' side on which to fit a handrail to stairs? I'm
talking about a stairway with a wall both side, rather than one side
open with a bannister rail.

My logic is to fit it on the left, so the dominant hand (right with 90%
of people) is holding on when descending.

Any thoughts?


Put one on either side, for versatility.


ITYM put one on *each* side. :-)
