Step 3 · Attach Railing Posts
Position the railing posts over the pre-drilled holes. Use strong, corrosion-resistant screws or anchor bolts to firmly attach each post to the surface. Ensure the posts are vertical and stable. For wooden stairs, lag screws are typically used. For concrete or masonry, anchor bolts are required. Tighten all fasteners securely, but avoid over-tightening, which could strip the threads or damage the mounting surface.
