Once location/height is determined, center and pre-drill two holes (using a drill bit slightly smaller than that of self-tapping screw diameter) on opposite sides of post, approx. 1/4" (0.6 cm) from top of post. Drill through the post and into the stair crossover swivel bracket on each side. NOTE: Slightly countersink pre-drilled holes to allow for flat head screw to seat flush on the post.
