If you've got a kitchen full of cabinets that need door and drawer pulls, you could measure them all individually and hope you get it right, but there's a better way.

Oh my God, Dude. Built this jig for my cabinet install hardware. Jig was so easy! You saved me SO MUCH TIME. Did about twenty drawers and doors in what felt like minutes. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much for this very helpful video. I have never done drawer pulls before but knew there had to be a way to get it done without too much sweat or fuss. I did not have time to go to the store to look for jigs, so I made my own from a piece of metal roofing scrap...worked great and got the job done PDQ! Your help was excellent...thanks again.

Thanks for the tip and I made one for some under island drawers i made. 12 drawers drilled quickly and most importantly my wife loved how they were all perfectly aligned and spaced! Happy wife- happy life! I used handles so I had to drill two holes per drawer and made the jig fit the width of the drawers as they were all identical width. That way I didn't have to have a center mark, but just hung the jig that had stops on either end.

I always use what is called a brad point bit. They have a sharp pointed center that allows you to use pinpoint accuracy. Its also helpful when marking many holes in short order using this jig. This type of bit also does not wallow out the jig holes as much as standard drill bits. Then a quick trip around the cabinetry to drill all the way through- always back up your hole with a block of wood to prevent chipping the back of the door or drawer. its fast and easy. Best of luck to ya.

Faster and easier is a tapered drill bit. It eliminates the need for a backing board.

@fiveonadub5 жыл бұрын
you should drill a 1/8" holle in your jig and use a center punch to mark your hole spacing then use a self centering 3/16" drill bit to drill the holes. I have a better jig system.

I bought a plastic one and marked my drill spots earlier. I see that your holes would be close, but won't the screw hit that middle piece of cabinet?? I figured I'd move the holes over so the screw doesn't touch that middle piece of wood. IS THAT RIGHT???
you could use circular piece of wood so long as when you scribed your rt. angles they are square to the the edge piece
@CurvedSlightly5 жыл бұрын
Problem is, the holes get bigger each time it's used and then becomes inaccurate. It's amazing how you can see a handle that's out by a 1mm.

Chuck Norris that’s why you use a small bit to drill a pilot hole then let the screw do the work
@mavenfeliciano17104 жыл бұрын
Noel Sj you would need to drill a smaller hole, yes, but I wouldn’t let the screw do the rest of the work. By hand, you would have to force it, taking a longer time over many cabinets. By drill gun you may get away with it but still forcing it and potentially wearing/stripping it. Adding metal guides makes for a quicksand accurate approach. Buying a commercial jig is also a convenient option.

I have a question that I CANNOT find an answer to.. my husband and I are building a huge cabinet with two bookcases/drawers on either side as well.. a total of 9 drawers and want all those drawer pulls to match up.. Is there a template for double drawer pulls on one drawer?? I'd post picture if i could.. or maybe i could send a picture to your email??? help?!?!?! :(
@jmservices65238 жыл бұрын
+Lisa Bevill This jig will work for doubles. All you need are 2 centerlines, one on the left and one on the right. A little math goes a long way but you could simply assume to measure equally from each edge of the drawer front to the centerline of choice and then the jig will work. There are simpler methods the pros use but this will yield excellent results for the average user.
