Then I went to my drill press and drilled all the holes.ĪND son of a gun if I didn’t get the better of those holes in the end! Making sure I had the correct width, I marked a hole location every 1/2″. So I need to drill my holes 1/2″ lower on the drawers than where I want the center of the pull to end up. The holes in the pull are 1/2″ lower than the center of the pull. I was originally thinking I’d secure the plexiglass to a rail that would sit on top of the drawer but decided that wouldn’t work because I’m installing the drawer pulls inside the recessed panel so I just cut a square-ish piece of plexiglass that I would use kind of freehand.

Sometimes my inability to throw ANYTHING away is a good thing! How to make a Drawer Pull Template I was about to run purchase a small piece of plexiglass when I remembered that I saved the scrap from my Dust Collection Modification experiment (7 long days last summer). If only I could see THROUGH the template I could mark the exact location of the holes and they wouldn’t be able to “punk me” and jump around and change every time I turned my back. I traced, and measured and eyeballed and drilled.Īnd still could not get the two screws to line up PERFECTLY so they would both screw into the pull through the template at the same time. However, no matter how carefully I measured and marked, I could not get the screws in exactly the right place.
I attempted first to make one out of 1/4″ mdf.
Short of waiting around for a special order, I had to make my own. I ordered cup hinge drawer pulls which are wider than average so the drawer pull template I have (and the ones commonly sold and readily available) didn’t work. To do that, I had to make a custom drawer pull template.
My pantry drawer fronts are all installed now! In order to install them, I had to drill all the holes for my hardware. Maryville TN House Tour – Completed Rooms.
