How to Locate Cabinet Knobs and Pulls

Steps:

1. On base cabinets with drawers, keep pulls on lower drawers slightly higher than center. They’ll appear centered when viewed from above.
2. To visually check the location of a knob without making holes, use two-faced putty.
3. Use a combination square to measure the center location and transfer that measurement to other cabinets.
4. Use scrap wood to create a jig to ensure consistent placement of hardware.
5. A basic plastic jig can be used for marking with several offsets located.
6. An adjustable jig can ensure consistent placement and acts as a drill guide.
7. Another adjustable jig offers spacing for both pulls and knobs on door and drawer front cabinets.
