Our exclusive DriveTite system conceals cable wiring and fastening components within sleek stainless steel covers that easily drill into both new and existing wood posts. Plus, DriveTite is simpler to install than traditional railing systems – all you need is a cable railing installation kit and a power drill. Combine DriveTite with any of our wood or metal handrails, and you’ll have a modern, polished railing installed quickly and at a fraction of the cost.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many DriveTite kits do I need to purchase?
For a 36″ tall wood post system, you’ll typically need a 10-pack per post (though this may vary depending on your handrail setup). For 39″ systems, purchase an 11-pack, and for 42″ systems, choose a 12-pack.
What are DriveTite components made of?
Our DriveTite components are crafted from 316 stainless steel, one of the best materials for corrosion resistance. This durability allows our components to withstand outdoor elements with ease, making them ideal for wood cable railing systems.
Do these cable railing components work for any posts?
DriveTite is designed to work exclusively with wood posts, allowing you to attach cable wiring directly for a sleek, modern look.
What tools do I need to install wood cable railing?
For the DriveTite cable kits, you’ll need a DriveTite installation kit and 5/32 cable railing wire.
When do I need an intermediate post?
An intermediate post is required when your post spacing exceeds 4 feet. While intermediate posts aren’t substitutes for main posts, they help maintain tension across sections ranging from 4 ft to 8 ft.
How should I space my DriveTite cable runs?
We recommend spacing cables every 3 1/8″. This configuration, combined with an intermediate post placed every 4 feet, minimizes cable deflection and helps ensure compliance with the common 4″ sphere rule for code.
