Stair rail
Anyone put in a stair rail in there FW? I am looking to do this but not sure the best way to find a stud on the exterior wall, will a regular stud finder work? Do you use metal screws since the studs ...

I forgot to mention it is on the inside.
You were the only one that knew. Was it hard to find studs to anchor to?
NO
I wedged the rail flanges under the aluminum door and window flanges. This placed most of the screw holes lined up to penetrate the respective framing members. It was quite solid.
Will do the same in our (new to us) unit. I salvaged the original rail from our unit that got totaled in our yard by an errant driver.
