Stairparts - Good Idea Leaflet 30

When an existing newel post is removed note how it has been fixed. New newel posts must be located in the same position.

To find the angle of the stairs either make a template using cardboard or use an adjustable bevel.

To connect the handrail to the newel posts on the staircase use the Newel Post and Handrail Fasteners.

Having adjusted the first and last fillets as required, fit spindles into position, cross pin and glue.

Drill a 6mm hole to a depth of 38mm into the centre of the end of the quarter turn which will be secured to the handrail.

Drill a 25mm access hole into the underside of the handrail with the centre of the hole 44mm from the end of the rail.

Screw the thread of the bolt into the hole in the quarter turn.

If using the horizontal turn, you will need to mitre join the baserail.

Once achieved, glue and pin spindles and fillets into position. Glue all cover plugs into position.
