Cabinet Handle Jig, Hole Drilling Template for Pulls/Knobs/Handles Installation on Cabinet Door & Drawer, All Metal Tool for Drawers Front Hardware Mounting, with Φ5mm& Φ4mm Drill Guide

We recently painted some sliding doors and wanted to put handles on them but didn’t have the correct tool to perfectly make the hole for the handles on the sliding door. This tool makes it easy. The handle are lined up and the sliding doors look great! This was definitely a good purchase.

A precision tool for accurate, easy results time after time. Nothing not to like and I’m sure it will stand up to the task for years to come. Worth ever6 penny.

I have used other jigs this by far is the best!

This gage is made out of aluminum and steel inserts. Very accurate in alignment. Drawback is the gage may need to be longer for wider drawers. Was able to use this gage on drawers up to 21 inches wide

Bought this gage to install multiple door handles and drawer pulls, worked great. All of the slides are a solid material thickness with precise markings. The only opportunity for improvement would be to add a sight line where the center notch is so that the center line can be seen from above. Spare parts are a nice addition!

Worked perfectly! Easy to use.

This product has good quality material its just poorly calibrated and should not be used out of the box without checking its all square. On the Pro side: The kit of parts are all metal and mostly well made extrusions of Alloy. On the Con side: you cannot depend on its accuracy straight out of the box.First check with an engineering square that the two rulers that form the major "T" are perpendicular to each other when assembled, if they are not you are wasting your time using this kit. Mine was absolutely square within 2 thousands of an inch in 6 inches, it was square. But, when I installed the large sliding stop it was way off, by 1/10 of an inch in 6 inches, that a huge error and all handles would be crooked. The problem was the large stop is made from two pieces screwed together, a flat plate and the sliding extrusion that clamps to the vertical black level ruler, the problem was the extrusion was not cut square by the factory manufacturer chop saw. I had to install an 0.018 thick feeler gauge under one side of the extrusion to get the plate to be exactly parallel and square to the horizontal silver ruler. There are a number of fixes to solve this. 1 you can add an 0.018 thick washer under that end of the extrusion to make it square, you can file very carefully and accurately a slope to taper the extrusion down 0.018 on one end, you can mount the piece on a mill and machine it square. Finally the manufacturer could add two small grub screws opposite the thumb locking screw so you can square it up and be exactly parallel to the silver steel base X axis ruler. Repair steps: I wrapped the extrusion piece in tape to avoid marking its finish and filed in very carefully to the very fine slope needed. Testing each time with installing onto the actual T frame. After a number of trials I got it within 0.002 deviation over 6 inches. A great improvement over the 0.101 thou error we started with. The first two pictures show the 0.101 error gap, then the 0.018 error feeler gauge correction to fix its error. The two countersunk screws had to be countersunk further as they protruded 0.008 and upset the gauge accuracy also when resting on a cabinet edge. I found the draw filed approach to be the easiest to make the correction to the factory piece, even when I have a full machine shop. I used a spot of Blue Loctite on some threads to prevent them backing off and loosing calibration of the jig. The final result is a very durable and very accurate jig. Final note be careful not to throw out the small grub screws and Alan key stuffed at the bottom of the small brown padded envelope the two drill come in. I found my 4 mm drill very poorly ground and the 5mm drill was ok. I also purchased the GoldenWarm Plastic hardware template set and it came with a very nice 5mm wood drill with a very fine Brad Point which ensures your drill does not walk off center, the $8 kit is worth it just for the drill. Hope this helps others before they rely on this jig and end up with crooked handles and drilled cabinets that would be a pain to correct. Regards GNP

Once the size was set i was able to drill the exact holes in all cabinetry quick and fast. Great tool to have in my inventory. I was using the cheap plastic guides from Lowe’s.
