<p>I installed 14 pulls like those on 2 different cabinets in the bathroom. I made my own jig from 1/2" ply & two 3/4" cleats. I drilled a 1/8" hole in the jig. Every drawer is the same size so I just drilled the 1/8" hole thru the jig & drawer front. I used a forstner bit on the inside to countersink the screw/bolt head. Then I re-drilled the 1/8" hole 1/16" larger than the pull screws/bolts from the front. Tear out hidden under the screw/bolt head inside the drawer.</p>

<p>Lately I have used a plastic cutting board, no splinters from that and it is easy to replace from the local $2 shop.</p>

<p>I would align the end with the rail and centred on the rail your drilling.</p>
