The Ultimate Tool-Free Fitting for Stairs & Wood Posts

Conquer any stair or ramp angle with the Keuka Stair Fitting, specifically designed for a clean and secure installation on wood posts. This fitting combines our patented, tool-free swageless technology with an articulating head that pivots to perfectly match the angle of your stairs, ensuring a clean, parallel cable run every time.

Finished with a durable black oxide patina to match our Black Finish Collection, this fitting allows you to achieve a professional result without special tools or complicated procedures. It’s the premier choice for contractors and DIYers who demand precision, flexibility, and a flawless modern aesthetic.

  • Pivots to Any Angle: The articulating design allows the fitting to align perfectly with any stair or ramp pitch for a clean, professional look.
  • Completely Tool-Free: The swageless jaw and stud assembly installs with just your fingers—no crimpers or swagers needed.
  • Designed for Wood Posts: The integrated lag screw provides a robust, direct connection to wood posts (4x4 or larger) and wall frames.
  • Unmatched Adjustability: Use on both ends of your cable for a symmetrical look and double the tensioning capability, ensuring a sag-free railing for life.
  • Lifetime Serviceability: Unlike permanent fittings, this design can be easily disassembled for adjustments or future repairs.
  • Patented & USA-Made: Trust in the quality of a patented system (U.S. Patent No. 10,436,23), proudly made in the USA from marine-grade 316 stainless steel.

Choosing Your Lag Screw Length:
Select the screw length that best fits your project needs.

  • 1.5" Lag Screw: The standard choice for attaching directly to a typical 4x4 or 6x6 wood post.
  • 3.5" Lag Screw: Ideal for wall attachments where you need to penetrate through drywall, sheathing, or siding to securely reach the internal framing.

FAQs

How far apart do I space my cables?

Approximately 3" apart. The general rule is that a 4" ball should not pass through the railing infill. Cables are flexible therefore 3" spacing is recommended.

What is swaging?

To swage (pronounced swaj) is to press a solid fitting or threaded end onto a cable using the force of either a leverage type hand tool or hydraulic press. The tool has dies that shape the fitting to a specific diameter. Also sometimes referred to as a crimper.

What does swageless mean?

A cable fitting that is swageless does not require a swaging tool to install it on a cable. Swageless fittings generally have jaws that "bite" into the cable under tension. All the Keuka fittings are "swageless".

How far apart do I space my posts?

48" maximum distance between posts is recommended. This is also to help prevent cables from separating.

What colors do the cables and fittings come in?

Currently the cables are available in stainless and blackened stainless steel.

What is the best cable size for cable railing?

1/8" diameter is the most commonly used cable diameter. It is also relatively transparent. Larger diameter cables become more difficult to manage as the thicker cable has more spring back force and becomes more difficult to cut and bend on site.

Where are Keuka products made?

Our products are proudly made in the United States. 

How tall should my railing be?

36" measured from the surface of the deck to the top of the railing for most residential applications. 42" is required for commercial applications and also for California residents on guard railing. Guard railing is defined as any railing that presents a fall hazard (30" above ground or higher).

Is cable railing safe for children?

Yes. The flexibility and small diameter of small cable makes it difficult to grasp and climb. Of course no railing is climb proof.

Can cable railings be used outside?

Yes, cable railings can be used inside or outside. Mother nature will cause any product to weather at an accelerated rate which will not be experienced indoors. 

How do you ship your railing parts?

We ship UPS ground delivery.
