Installing Kitchen Handles and Knobs Guide

doorTo begin, the door handles and installing kitchen cabinets is a very simple process. As with most DIY projects at home are the time and preparation, the most important factors for good work. First things first, you think you have the tools at hand. Here are 3 different methods to measure and appropriate treatment. 3 These methods have triggered a guide to some of the most popular ways of cooking show handles that are downloaded from the website. Read on to see the best of your skill level and the tools you have at hand, or do you think your own way, that some of these ideas. Good reading.

Method 1
Limited tools? This could pave the way for you.
Start with a coin or a card. Looking for something with a square tip treatment is greater than that. Try an old cereal box, it must be broad enough and should have square edges.

Continue to keep you close to your door handle and a measure of where you want the address above and positioned on the side. Plot these measurements on a map by measuring the distance of each hole from the edge of the door and make sure that the centers of holes (the distance between the center two holes) are exactly the same as you treat them. If you install only the buttons you need to make a hole (sorry, that one was obvious)

Note: This is your model to take your time to do it right!
Tip: Test your presentation on a vacant piece of wood first check the holes are the correct distance, and the handle is properly positioned.

Maintenez le gabarit sur la porte, en utilisant peut-être une ou deux bandes de ruban adhésif pour maintenir le modèle en place. To ensure the proposal is to try properly positioned, the (one stop on the edges of doors) a piece of wood or apartment block to push the card up.

If the card is set press using a punch through the points marked on the map and mark the hole point on the door. If you do not use an awl, a pointed instrument, which mark the door as a pin or a wood screw.

Remove the template, note the positions of holes from the top and left of the door and make sure the centers of the holes are correct. Hold the handle to ensure that these brands to ensure you are always happy with the positioning and drilling of the time.

Finally, unscrew the handles of the door, careful not to over tighten, this will usually only screws M4 (metric 4mm in diameter) as standard and should not be more precise, two hands!

Mark and drill all the other doors, to ensure that all markers before drilling to ensure they are all uniform. Right and left hand doors for easy turn around the map.

Method 2
Do you have lots of space?
If you are quite handy with a square and a ruler / tape measure whether this method can be fast or faster than the previous method.

To prevent identification of the door to use some tape to cover the edges and a strip where you will stick around. Hold the handle of the door and as the holes go.

Draw the tape measure along the top of the door and mark (distance horizontal line) from the top of the door to the first hole and then mark the second hole spacing (ensuring that the centers of holes is correct) .

Then take the square and mark on it (use some masking take to the surface if it is difficult to mark) the extent of The Edge of the door. Now, simply run the amount of space on the side of the door and mark (vertical line), the position of holes. This is the point where the horizontal lines at the door to take the brand of your set-square.

Method 3
Have all the tools?
The best way to get fit handles or hand anything repetitive is to have a good template. What the hell’s Jig? A template is a device used to measure always make (s). If you blow a hole with a paper guide that goes beyond the earth – it is a type of device.

If you have a large kitchen and own kitchens, it is worth the time, a template for decent work.

To begin a simple but precise jig with a piece of 19mm plywood panels or do pretty much stable, but not thinner than 12mm. To the right size to make room for the size of the grip and the distance from the coast and up. Make sure you have two square edges, with job losses and all are square. As jig in the paper marks the position of boreholes and jitter, double check all measurements before drilling.

Then you get two lengths of Smooth (expected in the ideal) of wood and screw the two square edges of the stencil. These lengths of wood should be as wide overhang of the thickness of the layer about an inch on each side. Thus the model for the drilling of left and right will be used.

It is so easy. The only thing to remember when filing jig is to keep all edges square and straight. Take your time and check all your measurements to ensure proper use.
Remember, you do not need to go far with your measurements and see the difference the more you look, stand more.

Golden Rule # 1: Measure (cut once or twice in this case, drilling)
