If you just bought your first dream home, congratulations. Are you ready for the simplest upgrade for your builder grade cabinets in your inventory home? Hardware! I am here to tell you my Weekend Warriors how to do it fast and right every time.


Gather your Supplies:

Ladder or Step Stool: depending on how high your cabinets are.

Your New Jig (this is your secret weapon!)

Drill with a bit that is the same diameter as your hardware.

Hardware of you Choice (fun part)

Screw Driver (Phillips or Flathead; depends on your pull)

Pencil to lightly mark your spot to drill.

Measure With Your New Jig


Start by measuring and marking where you want your hardware.


Lightly, use your pencil to make a mark.

Drill Your Hole


Next, you will drill a hole completely through your cabinet door. Don't be afraid. I promise this is the way you do it!

From the back, attach your hardware.


Then, you will take your screwdriver(Phillips or Flat depending on your hardware)and attach your hardware from the backside.

Shut the Door and Admire Your Job well done!


Yep, it is that simple and easy to get your hardware on even and right EVERY time.
