An apparatus for assembling a balustrade for a passenger conveying device include a left-hand side, a right-hand side, and apparatus for consistently positioning a balustrade panel holder in a particular geometry. The left and right sides include a midsection, a lower landing section an upper landing section, for assembling a right-hand and a left-hand passenger conveyor balustrades, respectively. The upper and lower landing sections extend away from the midsections at an angle and the midsections may be adjusted lengthwise to accommodate different length balustrade assemblies.
