Oh!! If you looking for someone to fit & design staircase spindles for you then the best way is to check if they are offering some construction drawing for detailed explanation of the structure or not. As this will clearly highlight the amount of experience and knowledge they have in designing staircase structures.

The building code requires that a 4" ball will not fit through the widest gap between balusters.

The general rule is 8" or less between spindles to keep children from getting hurt. Many areas require this width, or smaller.

International building code calls for four inches.

Check you local building codes, it can be different for all areas.

If you can fit a softball, (not a cabbage ball), then a baby can fit it's head.
