In this video we will provide you with at least two methods you can use to force or squeeze the stair tread or step back into its original slotted groove. Remember, this type of home repair might not work for your particular project, but you could always modify our examples and construction practices by using different parts to fix the damage stairway.

Great informative video. Thank you, for the details. What size bolts to use for angle brackets?
My issue is my basement stairs have too much flex in the middle of the treads (No middle stringer). The previous owner attempted to remedy this by putting a threaded rod that goes under each tread and spans through both stringers. This is another method you could use to bring the stringers back together.
Great simple video easy to understand good
Glad you think so!
Thanks. Good video
Glad you liked it!
Trying this today!
Let us know how it turns out.
@@stairbuilding It worked!
How would you go about leveling existing stair treads on a housed stringer going to do hardwood realized they're not level a couple are sloped down about a 1/4 inch most are 1/8. Not sure how to tackle this
If you can send me some pictures and you can get our email address at the website.
Thank you for the video very helpful. My only question is if there is there a way to put more pulling force on the stringer rather than the tread? It seems like this method pulls on the tread only.
As long as the stringer can move then this might work, but you can use another method and I will post a link here when I make the video to show you how.
Using tread brackets as support which would be stronger lag bolts or carriage bolts ??
It will depend upon the size and installation, but I would say that the winner would be carriage bolts.
Where there is a gap at both sides of the stringers couldn't you use a clamp to force the tread back into the dado?
I would imagine so. There are quite a few different methods for this type of repair.
Thank you for making this video. Some of the treads on the main stairs to my house started to separate from the dado one by one, so I bought 32 of these and secured them with lifetime warranty stainless steel screws on the tread part, and galvanized lag screws on the part that connects to the stringer. Do you think that is OK that I used stainless steel screws to secure the stair angles to the treads? I could not find a way to do lag bolts the way you described in the video.
It's hard for me to answer that question for sure, but I would simply inspect the stairway regularly to make sure it isn't coming apart and if it is then switch to the lag screws.
how did this do ...this is what I plan to do as finding the correct bracket that accommodates the size of a galvanized lag screw in both areas has been hard. I plan on doing what you are doing and using the stainless steel hex screw to the stringer.
in my case i have risers and no access to bottom..
I don't have a video on that yet, but added it to my list.
What size bolts for angle brackets? Great video by the way
You would need to check with the angle bracket supplier or manufacturer. It's the reason why I didn't provide it in the video, because they could vary in sizes.
Hi , Wood Glue To Prevent Squeaks . Thanks
A sealant might work better, sometimes glue becomes brittle and breaks apart.
Would’ve thought of the lag screws thanks
Exactly!
Deck screws might work better - thy are rated for extreme shear forces.
WHAT SIZE IS THE BOLTS YOUR USING?
You would need to check with the manufacturer for clarification, but I believe I used either 3/8 of an inch or 5/16 of an inch and believe they were about an inch and 1/4 long.
