We have decided to replace our existing stairparts, leaving in place just the existing newel posts.
When the handrails were removed we noticed that they were fitted by using a mortice and tenon fixing into the newel posts as I had to cut the handrails in half to get them removed.
Now the each newel post has 1 or 2 slots showing for the existing handrail.
I would like to know how I could fit the new hardwood handrails onto the existing newel posts and to make sure that it will be structurally rigid as I have 2 kids!
The new hardwood handrails has not come with any fittings as it was a special order.
Thanks in advance.
