From Newel Post and Banister Tightening, Step 4: Reinforce Newel Post to Floor/Stringer
To further secure your newel post, drill a 10 millimeter deep pilot hole into the newel base from the side. Then, drive a screw directly through this pilot hole, through the base, and into the dowel of your newel post. This creates a strong mechanical connection. Finally, conceal the screw hole by plugging it with a small piece of wood, matching the newel post material if possible. Repeat this process for any other newel posts you are installing.
