Helpful Tips

· Accurate measurement is very important when drilling the drawer-pulls. Drawer-pulls have two holes and drilling just a fraction off will not allow one screw to meet the other end of the drawer-pull knob. They have templates for drawers!

· If the screw is a little long, add a washer behind it.

· Remember to measure twice, drill once.
