The answer is simple. A stair lift rail attaches directly to the stair treads every three to four steps. The rail does not attach to the wall. However, it can be attached to hardwood, carpeted or concrete stairs.

This does not need to be a straight line process. There are stair lifts designed to work on straight and curved stair lifts. Straight stair lifts can be configured to ride along either the left side or the right side of the staircase.

Curved stair lifts can be customized to fit your specific stair case. A curved stair lift requires a custom-built rail that will match the contour of your home’s staircase. Such a stair lift can maneuver around 90- and 180- turns and flat landings.
