Figure 1
**Decide which side you want to have the handrails, we will be installing the 12 smaller
treads with cutouts on the side you want to have the handrail based on house and
build. For this example in Figure 1 we are installing the rails to the left. So holes will be
to the left for the string, if going right side railing just turn the tread holes to opposite
side.**
Step 1. Using the top large tread place on the side opposite of where you plan to install
the handrail, fig 2a. Hold flush to the edge of staircase and glue each tread to the
staircase until all 12 treads are installed. Fig. 2b Note that all 12 treads are aligned even
to right side edge as we plan on a left handrail staircase.

Step 2. Install top tread making sure it is aligned
to the rear of staircase, see figure 3.
Step 3. Install the 13 balusters into the hole of
each tread, figure 4. Locate the handrails notice
that it has a slot in the bottom for the securing of
the balusters, fig. 4b.
Step 4. Install bottom Newel post even to
bottom tread, fig. 4c Install handrail aligning

NOTE: If you DO NOT have good access to your
stairs location then use a stock card and make a
template of your stair landing where you plan to
install railing. Using the template you will
assemble the rails outside of the house. Glue
inside house once assembled. If you have good
access to your stair location proceed to step 1.
Step 1. Place one Newel post even to the stair
landing Newel post (Do Not Glue Post), using a
pencil place a mark in front of the newel post,
figure 1.
Step 2. Place newel post at rear opening of
landing and mark the rear of the Newel post
desired location, figure 2

Step 3. Using markings, mark and then using a sharp
blade trim two railings to size, figure 3
Step 4. Using the short side of the landing opening lay
out desired number of Balusters, below in figure 4 we
have three spaced. Using the spacing on the three
balusters now space out the long width side as seen
also in figure 4. Once desired look is achieved press the
balusters into the top handrail as seen in figure 5. Once
you have desired spacing again glue balusters into top
rail and then install bottom rail.

template DO NOT glue newel post in, move to next
step)
Step 6. Glue rail to the first Newel post, figure 7. Post
should be top handrail centered to Newel post top flush
post point. --------->>> See arrow to right…..
