I have a two rail stair lift please could anyone tell me how the rails are
held together it looks like a locating pin. We have tried allen keys with no
luck.
Do we just gently hammer the pins out or is it a screw of some kind ?

They are roll pins (google if you don't recognise the term). They hammer
out with a suitable drift, but are in there quite tight. Get a proper
set of punches, rather than trying with a random bit of mild steel.
