English term or phrase: the edge of the stair risers
A girl is looking for a hidden key, so she "feels along the edge of the stair risers for the key" - on a staircase, that is.

Please tell me what exactly is that, in english or romanian, and a romanian equivalent, as well.

Thank you

agree  Lia Sabau: dacă fragmentul face parte dintr-un text literar, varianta propusă sună cam tehnic... dar nici DEX-ul nu dă altă variantă, așa că și eu cred că e ok așa...
