I’m hardly a pro when it comes to installing cabinetry, but I have done several kitchens and built-in casework installations over the years. Not being a professional cabinet maker, and not knowing any better, I went to Home Depot and grabbed a very inexpensive set of plastic cabinet hardware templates for my first couple jobs. While they were inexpensive, that’s about the only good thing I could say about them. I had to use a finish nail to mark the locations, and I was limited to a number of pre-set hardware sizes, so forget it if I wanted to use anything oversized for the handles. I struggled through a kitchen, coffee bar and built-in dining buffet with that same cheap set of templates. While I made it work, it was anything but easy, and I can definitely say for certain, if I had the Cabinet Hardware Jig PRO by True Position Tools (recently sent to us for review), those drawer and door handles would have got installed a lot sooner, and probably would have been a bit more accurately placed as well.
