Home Improvement > Stairs > How to Install a Wood Stair Railing Kit

Learn how to replace old wrought-iron stair railings with beautiful wood banisters, balusters and railings.

Brace the first newel post on your workbench. We add ordinary plastic food storage bags to the clamping mechanism on the workbench to protect the finish on the newel post anywhere it contacts the bench. Snug the clamps to hold the newel post.

Examine the metal plate provided as part of the railing system for the bottom of the newel post. The pre-drilled plate has five large holes for attaching it to the newel post. Three sides of the plate have overhanging edges/ears with pre-drilled holes for attaching the newel post assembly to the floor.
