Handle Hole Jig

A universal tool for all your kitchen cupboard handle hanging needs...

I had to replace the hardware on my kitchen cabinets, and I know from past experience that being off by even a millimeter is very visible. I decided to make a template this time around. It worked quite well, but while using it I thought of some more improvements. While I'm done with mine for a while, I thought I'd model them up, and post here for others to use.

With the download, you get:

* A Main bracket with guide holes spaced at both 3" and 5" apart (fits most hardware). Deep guide holes help make sure the the drill does not go in on an angle

* Adjustable guide which keeps main bracket square with side of cabinet door/drawer. Guide can be adjusted from around 1" to 7".

* Holes in Main Bracket which accept 8-32 screws for locking the guide into place. If you don't have 8-32 screws, don't worry -- they come standard with most kitchen cabinet hardware!

* Center markers on Main bracket
