How to
Replace Your
Staircase
Railing
If you have staircase railings in your
home, odds are that they are one of the
2 popular types. In one type, the rail is
affixed to the wall with brackets & can
be replaced easily with a few basic tools.
The other common type of staircase
railing has newel posts and horizontal
bar or iron balusters and may need
• Put the old rail next to the new one if you need to drill
spindle holes. Stretch a tape measure out along the old
rail and measure the location of each hole down the entire
Iron Baluster- or Spindle-Type Railing:
• Find the points where the stair railing is affixed to the
newel posts & balusters or Spindles by screw fasteners.
• Unthread any screw fasteners that lock the top of the
spindles to the base of the rail.
• Move to the posts that are secured to the rail. Remove
the screw fasteners with a screwdriver or screw gun
equipped with the right-size bit. Use a reciprocating saw
to cut the area between the wood post and the rail.
• Pull the rail up from the balusters if they are housed
inside the drilled holes at the bottom.
• Compare the old stair rail to the new one to
make sure that they are the same length and that
the hole, if balusters or spindles are present to
match. Place the new rail between the stair
railing just above the balusters.
• Check that the spindles are plumb using a level
before securing the end of the rail to the post.
Wallrail Bracket Type Railing:
• Make use of a screwdriver to remove the
fasteners that secure the rail to the wall
brackets: Some brackets wrap entirely around
the rail or are welded into place.
• Pull the rail off of the brackets & set it next to
the replacement. Check that they are the same
length.
• Put the new rail on top of the wall brackets.
Re-thread a screw through each wall rail bracket
slot & into the rail. Continue placing screws
until you fill all of the bracket slots and the rail
is secure.
