I've fitted a new handrail to my attic stairs. Its circular pine on
metal poles. I want to attach the end that butts up to the wall more
firmly. I'm after something like the collar you get on wardrobe
clothes rails but in 2 inches diameter.

Is there such a thing? Where from?

I did mine with a decorative oak rosette, bolted to the end of the rail
from the reverse side and then screwed to the wall. That might be
overkill for attic stairs, though (but the principle might still be
sound; bit of circular or oval pine, drill a couple of wall-mounting
holes and plug them with pine plugs when you're done)

Is there such a thing? Where from?

I'm not sure you'll find something that's angled though, because there's
always a little variation between stairway angles in homes, and a
manufacturer couldn't make one part that all rails could be expected to
fit into.

Many thanks folks. Flange is the word I'm after.

And what a lovely word it is, too. Almost as good as plinth and nubbin.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember andyv saying
something like:

Many thanks folks. Flange is the word I'm after.

Minge is perfectly acceptable.

Close - what I'm really after is something like MMWCB. Though that's
a called a rather more mundane wall connector. Thanks
