Cabinet Handles Installation Template

For a diy-er and someone who had been scared to drill holes in their cabinets for the past 15 years, this template saved me! It was so easy to figure out where the holes for my hardware should be drilled. I do have to say, some of the holes weren’t lined up with eachother but I’m pretty sure it was user error/old cabinets. It was easy enough to mark the holes and then use a level and adjust slightly. I highly recommend this one, especially since it is long enough for longer hardware (the first one I bought was too short for my 7 inch pulls).

Simple to use, spot on everytime, I've used for upper and lower cabinets and drawers

I bought this to unfortunately fix cabinetry hardware that was installed crooked. I searched for all sorts of solutions and when I finally found this one, I thought why not try it especially since it wasn't going to break the bank and I'm so glad I did. It's perfect for what I needed which was to identify which predrilled holes were crooked and needed to be filled with wood putty and re-drilled. My hardware is 7"/18cm long so this stencil was long enough. All I did was place it on my cabinet door and marked where the hole should be with a pen. It comes with a drill bit that I didn't use cause I found it to be too big, so I used an 11/64" drill bit and am very happy with this simple solution to my crooked hardware problem.

I started to install my handles without a jig since I didn't have many to do. Then I saw this and knew I could get it quickly through Amazon so ordered it. Brilliant! It took me no time at all to install 9" long cabinet door handles straight and perfectly aligned. Its a must have and handles very long handles. There is one thing that would make it even better, however, and that would be a lip at one end so that you make sure you are even with the edge of the cabinet face. Most other jigs have this feature but don't accommodate long handles.

This is the one to buy. Simple and straightforward. Unless you want to step up to a more expensive and adjustable template tool, this one covers the widest range of cabinet handles where most of the smaller varieties stop and 4 or 5 inches (96 or 128mm) this one will accommodate the largest of cabinet hardware up to 256mm or 10 inches. No need for assembly/disassembly/storage cases etc of the larger adjustable types. Throw it in the drawer until you need it again in 5 years. Durable plastic, not flimsy.

Terrible template… have used a couple times and the holes are not lined up correctly. Messed up a few of my cabinets. DO NOT ORDER!!

Not wide enough. I had to manufacture my own jig.

Made our cabinet handle install super simple; great price
