How to Install Railings on Stone Steps

Place the base of the iron railing on the steps at least two inches from the stoop. Set the railing an equal distance from the edge of each step.

Mark the location of the anchors through the mounting holes with the felt tip marker. Set the iron railing aside.

Insert a masonry bit into the chuck of the power drill. Place the drill on each mark and drill a pilot hole into the stone steps.

Insert the anchors into the holes and tap them into place with the hammer.

Set the railing back on the steps. Position the holes in the base of the railing over the anchors that have been placed in the stone.

Insert a lag bolt into one of the mounting holes in the base and tighten with the socket wrench. Repeat this step for each of the remaining mounting holes.
