A | I move the stairs 1" frontward. If installing landing rails, the Liner has to be extended the extra 1" to reach the Stairs. You could also add the extra 1" back to the stair hole and then the Liner Rail would fit, but the Newel would be very close to the Front wall, requiring additional customization, and the flooring match is never perfect. | ||
