Hey Bryan! The third screw and mounting hole on your Stromberg Carlson Folding Handrail for RVs # AC-530 is strictly for OEM use and requires a backing or washer/plate. You do not need to use it when installing the rail on your trailer. See the picture below.
What kind of trailer do you have?

Hey Bryan, did you end up installing the handrail on your trailer without using the third screw? I'm curious to know how it worked out for you, as it might help others in a similar situation!
