"The Saudi handrail projects at the end, and so is a flagrant violation of many building codes. The handrail in my basement is similar, and I have caught the opening to the left front pocket of my khakis twice, nearly falling off the bottom step each time.

"You were well served by your dealer.Most screws have specific torque requirements. The National Electrical Code specifies torques for some screws used in making electrical connections. The boxes in which some Hubbell AC receptacles are shipped specify that they meet UL standards only if the screws are tightened to a torque of 12-14 inch pounds. An experiment that has not been published showed that people are extremely poor at estimating torques by feel. The subjects used a torque wrench set to a specific torque in their day to day work. They tried to fasten a large nut to the correct torque without using the torque wrench. With one exception, every person was either over or under by more than 50%. The one exception was a man whose hobby was restoring internal combustion engines. "
