stair railings
Staircase gripping bars
Stair railings are the barriers running alongside a staircase, typically consisting of a handrail supported by vertical posts called balusters.
They provide support for people ascending or descending and prevent falls from open sides.
She gripped the stair railing as she climbed.
Also called banisters or handrails, though handrail technically refers only to the top bar you hold.
