How to Replace Wood Balusters with Iron Balusters · Step 3 of 5
In this video
Ensure the wooden handrail and shoe rail (or the floor where the balusters terminate) have precisely drilled square holes to accommodate the iron balusters. These holes must be deep enough to provide a secure fit for the balusters, typically at least 3/4 inch to 1 inch deep. If using an existing railing system, it may require removing old balusters and cleaning out the existing holes, or drilling new holes if a different spacing or baluster size is desired.
