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.

This is exactly what I was looking for! Now I feel better about tackling the cabinets in my kitchen. Thanks!

I made this yesterday to add pull handles to my 5 - 4 inch drawers. Incredible how 5 drawer pulls align magnificently. Thank you so much. !!

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. M, first time drawer pull installer

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.

Yes! I’m going to be installing some hardware very soon and this is a brilliant idea. Making one myself👍🏼👍🏼

Perfect! Worked for me...I just made the lining up slot wider and a reference line and I was set.

Mark, that is a great tip. Thanks for all the great advice.

Wonderful! I had over 60 Cabinets to install hardware on and this worked perfect.

Great idea. I actually used some pre-formed cardboard pieces from the garage to get a similar result. Thanks for solving a frustrating job!

Mark, you the man!

Thank you so very much. I have been struggling for days with my drawers and handles. One very frustrating issue I found was that the holes in the handles - cup/bin type pulls - are not exact. Each one is slightly different - just enough to cause a headache.

Needed to put on handles, watched this, tried it, worked great!

Thank you for this video. Super helpful.

Fabulous job! Thank you for sharing!

Thanks, you made my day so easy.

Thats the first one I have seen that does both drawer and door with the same jig. I may try that next time. I did a video on how to do it if you only have a few to put on and don't want to bother with making a jig.

Dude thank you so much. Simple and to the freakin point! Subscribing!

Great tip! Thanks.....and you could be Kenny Roger's little brother!

Absolutely thank you so much

Right on Mark

For anyone who does not want to make one, IKEA sell one for £2 in clear plastic called FIXA.

Thank You!!!

This is a smart one bro, thanks sir.

I bought the aluminum jig turned out it wasn't square ie to many moving parts. You'r vid made more sense, however I would measure on the inside avoiding non-flat outer edges. great vid thanks

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.

great tip ! ... thanks for sharing cheers

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???

Thank you so much!

Jig cut. Installing hardware tonight. Fingers crossed.

you could use circular piece of wood so long as when you scribed your rt. angles they are square to the the edge piece

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.

I think this is way easier than others

Thanks so much! Great idea.

Just a thought. Doesn't the drill flutes cut / widen the guide holes each time it's used?

Needs some care, but worth it for sure!

Nice thanks ❤

Incredible

great tip !!!!

is there a link to the guide on how to build one of these?

what size drill bit did you use for that 4 in center 8x32 screw? And I have a 1/2 drawer and 1/2 drawer front so would i need a 1 1/2 screw or 1 1/4 screw for the handles? The doors are 1/2 think so i'll use the 1 in screws that came with them. Thanks in advance

But what if the cabinet doors aren't perfectly straight ?

Is it just me or are all the cabinet hole spacings exactly the same distance apart regardless if it's a 5" center-to-center or a 6" c-c?

uhmmm no on the cabinets. will have to change jig for different size handles. on drawers it's great.

Meanwhile I killed myself measuring like crazy double holes handles cuz I had no idea this existed 😔 Thank you for the awesome tip 🙃

Thanks Dude…

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?!?!?! :(

Or use an awl to punch a pilot hole!

can I get your plans for the jig?

you didn't show how to build it

No way the cabinets we install have decorative routed edges the jig would never sit flat enough to be accurate sorry 😅

please

Takes too much measuring. By the time u make that u could have almost all of the holes drilled
