    I personally wouldn't remake the drawers. The alternatives I see are to patch the drawer holes with dowels and redrill, or flip the whole drawer box around and use the backside as the front. You just may have to re-notch for the undermount drawer slides.

  • @JohnOsborne-sn5nh
    @JohnOsborne-sn5nh 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +15

    Take the face and the rails off, flip the drawer around, back to front, rails back on and then put the face on with the screws out of your way?

      The under mount drawer slides my new cabinets came with and the Blum ones I purchased have a notch cut in the back underneath of the drawer back for the slide to run through. The cutouts don’t show when the drawers are installed but would need to be cut out if the drawer carcass is rotated 180°.
      It’s not a ton of work but it does take a little extra effort. Also two holes, one for each slide, need to be drilled for the finger on the lines to slip into. And the latches need to be moved also. (Assuming these cabinets use a similar under mount design)

    As a kitchen installer and cabinet refacerI would invest in the SH Drawer Jig that just self centers drawer holes by itself. No measuring. 1 drawer would take 1 minute or less saving you time and money. I would just use the jig you have for doors only.

  • @lorenrickey5481

    Remove the drawer fronts, countersink the screw heads on the backside, mount the handles and re-attach the front back onto the drawer.

      I installed them for a customer once and while getting up, one of those on a lower door caught my pocket and pulled the inside lower hinge out of the wood. You just stand there with a torn pocket, a door dangling and hanging from the top hinge and the customer looking at you. "No way that just happened"!!!

    A few years ago Mrs. Cuss decided that the 45 drawers and cabinets in our home "needed" handles. Since I was spending about $150 on handles, I bought inexpensive guides from the hardware store, one for cabinet handles and one for drawer handles. All went smoothly.

    If the bolts you have are to long a pair of wire strippers usually has threaded bolt cutters.
    Screw the bolt in until you have the right length. Squeeze really hard. Then when you unscrew the bolt the threads get cleaned up.

    Many years ago we bought a home under construction. When the kitchen was being installed, we asked that they not install any cabinet/drawer pulls. We were going to shop for something we liked and install later. Well, the genius contractor didn’t install them, but he drilled holes in all the cabinets for cheap round wood pulls 🤬.

    This sounds really nitpicky, but I would never put any tools or hardware on top of a customer's stove (unless I had a cardboard or board over it). Even if that one would be okay there are others it wouldn't. Just get in the habit of 'never put tools on this thing'.
