Every young man should be made to watch this show.

Always the best quality instructional videos! Thank you

love this channel thanks for all the videos

There actually is a very easy way to determine handle or knob placement on your doors. It's all based on the height of your top drawer. If your top drawer is 5 inches tall, you center the hardware at 2-1/2" inches. So now you know that the rest of your hardware will be started at 2-1/2" up or down on your doors. This way, if you have a bank of drawers next to a door, your top handles or knobs will all be on the same level. To make it clearer, if you have a 3 drawer base cabinet next to a 2 door base cabinet, your top drawer handle and the handles on the doors will be on the same plane.

This is how I do it as well!

Very constructive, informative.

Have been so needing this forever!

if using a store bought jig I put tape over the holes I am not using to ensure I don't mistake them for my intended holes

In my mind, I had that exact (well, something pretty darn close) DIY jig in mind. I have plent of scrap wood to do it with and 17 knobs to install.

Love this dudes accent

Good video from Brownsville Texas

I love you guys You do the best videos

Draw

Tom sound so patient and relevant

What size drill bit should I use for most standard cabinet/draw pull screws/bolts?

on those drawer pulls... yes it might look off. however if you have a flush style pull... centered is better.

But when you have a handle that needs two holes, how do you get the proper holes on the jig he made? How do you know exactly where to drill them?

Jefferrey1 The Kreg jig is perfect for that. I used it for my diy bathroom vanity I built a few months ago. Perfect for 2-hole pulls and setting the right distance between them.

You measure them onto your jig, and then drill them out.

HAha Tommy how did you know!!! Lol I was needing help!! Uh real truth teaching thank you!!!!

Jokes on you, none of my cabinets have any knobs or pulls

Shoot, I just took 2 pieces of wood made an L and place it where I want the hole :) 1 5/16 away from bottom and top and all will be the same distance and height .

Instructions for making that homemade jig anyone?

Can we get the product information on the jigs Tom uses?

The jig he uses would only be necessary if you were doing this professionally. It's close to $190. If you're putting pulls on 20 or so cabinets in your kitchen, pick up that plastic jig he showed - $9 at your orange box store, then use an Awl to mark your holes. Don't have an awl? Use a dart, ice pick, nail, pencil, welding tip, or anything else pointy... $9 rather than $190.

@@poetnk Um, don't know where you shop at it but Amazon sells it for $17.99 not the $190 you quoted. Search for "Cabinet Hardware Jig/Punch Locator Drill Guide Template Wood Drilling Dowelling for Installation of Handles, Knobs on Doors and Drawer Pull with Center Punch Cabinet Knobs Tool"

Make sure you’re cabinet doors are all level before you start drilling.

Nobody making a jig for door knobs... Let's dummy it down a bit for us common folks 😭🤣

That's true. If I moved into a house and saw the pulls off-center by half an inch, I'd just figure the previous homeowner had no clue what they were doing - SURPRISE it was Tom Silva!

This is really nice but if you just need to drill one hole here and there I don't think it worth to buy the jig or to prepare one....

@JeffOstroff1

Moran Guy it is definitely worth it to buy even a little plastic templates that they sell at Home Depot and Lowe's because they're only like $4 and they work pretty well but if you're going to do a lot of cabinets definitely the way to go is like that Kreg Jig that he showed or even the one that he claims he used because you can get an infinite number of settings where is if you buy the templates from Home Depot they only have three or four rows of holes and if your knob placement doesn't fit in one of those holes then you're screwed you have to choose one of the holes on the template.

Lee Valley sells Bushing so when you make your own jig you don't end up drill out the hole toomuch and have your bit start drilling at an angle. www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/hardware/jig-and-fixture-parts/40089-drill-guide-bushings also the insert www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/hardware/jig-and-fixture-parts/101378-drill-guide-insert It makes the template last through the job.

This is great if you have a billion tools...

No you really just need a drill, something to measure with, and a pencil. If you want to get fancy you could make or buy a jig. Not many tools at all!
