- 1). 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.
- 2). Mark the location of the anchors through the mounting holes with the felt tip marker. Set the iron railing aside.
- 3). 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.
- 4). Insert the anchors into the holes and tap them into place with the hammer.
- 5). 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.
- 6). 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.
