Standard Newel PostsThe standard newel post is your typical block top newel post that is used in a post-to-post system. These are used when your handrail will be at the same height throughout your railing system. ![Standard Newel Post](https://cheapstairparts.com/wp-content/uploads/standard-newel.jpg)
Landing Newel PostsLanding Newel Posts are used when ever you have a level change, such as a middle or upper landing, and the handrail changes the height. The block top on the landing newel is usually 13 inches tall. ![Landing Newel Posts](https://cheapstairparts.com/wp-content/uploads/landing-newel.jpg)
Pin-Top Newel PostsPin-Top newels are used in an over-the-post system where your handrail appears to have a continuous run, or just at the bottom with a volute, turn-out or start easing with cap. There is always some sort of handrail fitting that sits over a pin-top newel. ![Pin-Top Newel Posts](https://cheapstairparts.com/wp-content/uploads/pin-top-newel.jpg)
Stabilizer Newel PostsThe stabilizer newel is used to provide extra support in a long run of railing where a fitting can not be used. ![Stabilizer Newel Posts](https://cheapstairparts.com/wp-content/uploads/stabilizer-newel.jpg)
