This video was very helpful. Who knows how long it would have taken me to figure out how to set up my jig for door handle drilling? I'm grateful for the time saved and anxiety I never experienced.💚💙💜

Hello Shannon - - - Looks like a very ingenious idea wish I had that years ago putting door knobs on the cabinet's and drawers - like you I had made my own jig also the holes became larger then the correct screw hole . Happy to see you making videos again - keep them coming always enjoy watching them .

I found a similar jig on Amazon for around $55 USD. It does take a bit of time to get the jig set up with lots of checking and confirmation before drilling. The instructions that came with mine will make you wish they contained more detail so thank you for putting this video up because it really helped to have a "real world" example to help clarify proper use. My recommendation is to tighten each knob periodically to ensure it didn't somehow work loose and throw off your work. I ended up using a punch to mark my holes and drilling without the jig in position rather than drill through the jig holes, as the bit it came is tight and I didn't want it to grab and pull the jig, thus scratching an expensive door. Like you said, once it's set up you can add handles to all the similar hardware handles and position and it makes a whole kitchen project much easier.

{Total non-expert} Centering the handle by eyeballing a marked tape seems at odds with the point of the jig. Obviously, the scale can be used to center the handle between screw holes. Do you find screw holes a poor reference to the visual center of handles? Thank you for the product tip, and especially your honest opinions. Remember, you're still The Man!

Great tool for what I’m seeing; I wish I had it six months ago. I built myself a very simple wooden jig with 1/5” pine I had in the garage and it worked great, but nothing like having a precision tool without the guess work.

You have to reset it for the adjacent door or can it be flipped?

@timothycreasy2161 Жыл бұрын

It looks like the jig can be flipped to me. It has T style stops on this system, and the bushings seem to be the same thickness as the jig. If not, I guess you can drill the holes from the inside the door. Just use a backer block for sure

@HouseImprovements Жыл бұрын

You can just flip the jig for the opposite door.

Shannon that's an awesome jig. Question? Have you heard about the guy who got kicked out of Ikea? He asked the lady "How much for one-night stand". 🤣🤣🤣 Did you get it? - furniture jokes I know, I'll go sit in the corner for 15 min

@LeanHVAC Жыл бұрын

We got this for our kitchen and was a fantastic tool to install 33 long format handles which the builder didn't want to install (12in c-c).. Not an expert and the most I've done is built ikea stuff and this jig made those 33 handles a breeze! Although now I have a $300 tool with no future use. They should create a rental program IMHO..

If your builder didn't want to install them then you need a new builder. My cabinet installer installs any hardware my clients want.

I have a cheaper version of this jig but beware the middle hole for single knobs ! While doing a kitchen full of two screw handles I accidentally poked the drill bit into the middle hole and wrecked a door , I taped it off for the rest and then put a dowel into it to prevent me doing that again

So for double doors, are you able to simply turn it over to get the the marks without having any parts of the jig interfering?

@HouseImprovements Жыл бұрын

Absolutey, just flip the jig.

Does it work on shaker style drawer with inset

@HouseImprovements Ай бұрын

It does the bushings in the guilds help keep the drill bit perpendicular so that you are accurate even with the guilds being away form the center panel of shaker drawers.

If you mistakenly mis drill or mark one door and have to replace it you have paid for the jig .
