How far does the track stick out at the bottom?

That really all depends on how deep or how shallow your staircase is. On average it will stick out past the last step by about 8-12″

The other solution if you do not want it to stick out at all is to invest in a hinged track. This will allow you to fold up the track at the bottom.
