Note that a custom depth starting step ( LJ-8440 / 8460 or LJ- 8640 / 8660 ) is required due to the horizontal distance between the starting newel and the landing newel .
An overeasing is used to make the transition from the rake handrail to the level balcony handrail without the use of a vertical rail drop . It is marked and trimmed like the easing at the lower end of the flight , see steps 11 and 12 . It is fastened to the handrails with rail bolts , see step 107-F . Note that the location of the overeasing has a direct effect on the balcony handrail height .
