Fast and easy way to install drawer handles.

The Deluxe Drawer Pull jig comes with an adhesive 6' tape measure in the box. What is the intended use of this tape measure? I was thinking of cutting it to length of the blue guide and attaching it on side (top) of the guide
BEST ANSWER: You can do that but what if you have wide drawers to install pulls on? I did and bought a 48" T-bar so no tape measure for it. I need to check to see if you can buy just the tape...Do you have the draw slide?

What do you suggest on the handles that are over 4" is there a optional plate you make and can it be purchased and for how much ? Thank you
BEST ANSWER: I do not know of a larger template for this jig. You could make one yourself from a piece of Lexan you can get at Home Depot or Loew's .

can it put handles on a 12" drawer in height ?
BEST ANSWER: If you make a larger template out of plexiglass. The included template isn't high enough to accommodate the larger drawer sizes.

what is the depth of drawer it can do ?
BEST ANSWER: Don't really understand your question - since the jig is for the drawer handle there is no size limit since you are going to have to drill holes for the handle.

I just finished installing a bunch...
I just finished installing a bunch of pulls on kitchen cabinets. I waited for this jig to arrive for the project. Here are my observations:1. Right and left doors need the jig to be reversed. There is no easy way to do this, the marking for adjusting are OK only, making this task quite challenging.2. Making sure the hole plate (and wood stop - see below) is square is not that easy. I had to buy a separate square to do this.3. There are not enough holes on the hole plate. My holes needed 128 mm spacing, had to drill holes into the plate. Would have been nice if they were factory perfect and present at the get go. Other jigs have the 128 mm, so apparently not that uncommon. There are probably others.4. The stop (wood block) is very easy to have tilt and thus not square when tightening the knob. This can affect the spacing significantly! Would be nice if that block would a tighter fit with the t-track so it is always square and does not need as much fiddling around with to into the correct position.5. Hole plate of jig not tall enough.A few obvious things that I learned, and experts probably know all too well: if there are paint drips or other irregularities along the edges of the doors and drawers, there will be problems with the precision of the hole placement. Also be careful with rounded edges, jig more difficult to keep in perfect position. Also, beginners (like me) should be warned that even if the holes are in the correct spot on the surface, drilling the holes at an angle - right left/up down (way too easy to do) will result in the handle not being in the right place. I found using a level on the drill helped get straight holes (at least in up down direction.If the pulls end up not in the perfect position, enlarging the holes in the specific direction the screw needs to go, gives some room for adjusting up/down/right/left.Overall a great tool with some room for improvement.

Useless for routed edge drawers, will not work for tall drawers (file drawers, pot drawers). Hard to read. If you take it apart and draw center lines and just use the template you can drill accurate holes, but then I could do that with a home made jig and spend my money on other tools. It is well made though, just useless to me.

I ordered this because my son wanted me to help install handles and knobs on all cabinets and drawers,(90 pieces). I loved the center punch tool that was worth the whole cost, even when used without the jig/templet. The only problem I had was his custom made cabinets had some extra deep drawers and the plastic templet would not adjust deep enough to center knobs height wise of drawer fronts. If I remember right it would only adjust to center an 8 3/4" drawer front depth. I would suggest to offer another template to center up to 12"/14" at least. And also add indexing on templates down to 1/8".

The jig was very helpful installing my 31 drawer and cabinet pulls. However, I'm not sure that I used it as it was intended. I would have appreciated better directions.
Editor's note: The package photos and illustrations are intended as the basic instructions for these. A step by step approach would be: 1. Determine position of handle to be installed. 2. Mark center line. 3. Choose JIG IT boring width needed. 4. Position JIG IT for correct spacing and lock guide on T-Track. 5. Align JIG IT over center line. 6. Mark locations with a punch. 7. Remove JIG IT and drill. The stop-block is used for repetitive drawer pull attachments.The tape measure can be applied to the top edge of the aluminum t-track to use as a reference when positioning the jig.

While the basic concept is fine, the jig can only be used for drawers that are no higher than about 7 inches. The first two drawers I needed it for were 8" and 10" high, which I wouldn't consider unusual sizes at all. About 3 inches needs to be added to the length of the jig before I would recommend anyone buying this tool.

The jig is very easy to use (Its a combination of the basic unit and a long section of aluminium), and while you may have to switch the orientation of the tool due to clearances, it is easy to align - as it works off a center line. You should put some masking tape on the top center of the drawer so you can mark that. Using a level for all but the longest pulls is probably overkill - I did not and it looks fine. If you have a really wide drawer (I have a couple of pot drawers) the jig is not big enough to mark them - but this is rare problem. So I graded it a five.

After installing pulls on cabinets for years withoutmaking a jig for repeat work, I finally bought this tool without hesitation. I have only one complaint, like others, I agree that the printing on the face of the jig iself doesn't really stand out, esp with the pull dimension or center-to-center holes under normal shop lighting. You have to tilt the jig at times to make sure you've got the right center holes. Other than that, I love it. Thank You Rockler

Not for drawers with moldings
It would work well on flat front drawers, BUT, not so much when moldings are attached.
I added pulls to several sets of existing cabinets in my home recently but the jig slowed the process down so I ended up with a tape and the plastic guide alone to finish.
The jig is well made and I will utilize it on other projects.
For my project, I should have noticed the drawers in all the videos were flat front.

I put in cabinets for a major box store and putting the pulls on drawers was one of the hardest parts of installation. I ordered this hoping it would help me but it turned out to be useless. It took only one set of cabinets to see it did not work for me. I had to readjust every time the draw size changed and the wood stop was too short to hold it steady. I tried to return it but it had to be in the same box it came in to return it and by the time I had used the guide, the box had gotten thrown out. The guide now sit with all the other useless tool I have bought over the years.

Good product, maybe even excellent, but not suitable for our drawer pull project. That's because the drawer fronts were too tall --- the jig couldn't even reach the midpoint of the drawers. The jig face is only about 6 inches high -- it just won't work with any drawer that is much taller than that.Also no instructions were included -- you literally are on your own. This is essentially the normal draw-pull jig plus the blue bar.
