What is the best way to mount a newel post?
I know there are various mounting kits available, but I’m not sure what to use. I was thinking about drilling a 1 1/4″ hole in the bottom of the post (and double floor joist below) and gluing a 1 1/4″ dowel rod into it. Experienced advice would be appreciated.
No, don’t use the dowel rod! It will never been secure. I found that out the hard way. You’ll have to put unsightly screws through the sides to get the post somewhat tight. The best way is to get a specific anchor made just for your situation. They’re called “Key Locks” by Coffman, and they work great! How they work is this: you install a provided lag bolt in the bottom center of the newel post to a specific depth (this depth is critical). On the floor, there is a notched plate that is recessed into the floor and secured by 4 long screws. The notch is beveled so that as you put the lag bolt in place and bump the newel post into position it becomes tighter. If it gets too tight before reaching center, loosen the bolt. If too loose, tighten the bolt. Once in you have it where you want it, put some wood glue down and reposition and maybe tack it with a finish nail or two. Done.
