Can this cap be used on any size newel post?

Does this come with adhesive?

No, the adhesive required for installation is not included and must be purchased separately.

How do I clean the brushed nickel finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or pads which can damage the finish.

Can I use this on an existing newel post?

What are the exact dimensions of the cap?

The cap measures 94mm wide x 45mm long x 23mm high (W x L x H).

Troubleshooting

Cap does not fit securely

Ensure you are using the correct adhesive for metal and wood, and that the adhesive has been allowed to cure fully as per the manufacturer's instructions. Double-check that the newel post dimensions are indeed 90mm x 42mm.

Adhesive seems weak

Verify that both the newel post and the inside of the cap were clean and dry before application. Ensure you used a sufficient amount of adhesive and allowed adequate curing time. Use a high-quality adhesive suitable for the materials.

Finish appears scratched or dull

The brushed finish can be sensitive to abrasive materials. Only use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning. For minor imperfections, a gentle polish designed for brushed nickel might help, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  2. Apply a suitable, strong adhesive (e.g., wood glue or a construction adhesive compatible with metal and wood) evenly around the top edge of the newel post or to the inside rim of the cap.
  3. Carefully place the cap onto the newel post, ensuring it is aligned correctly and sits flush.
  4. Press down firmly and hold for the adhesive manufacturer's recommended bonding time. Wipe away any excess adhesive immediately with a damp cloth.
