Installing Shaker drawer fronts with Kolby Korners and adding soft-close adapters

- When adding larger drawer fronts for a more full overlay look, you will not always be able to put a screw into the drawer front from the inside of the drawer because the screw would come through the center panel. Use these Kolby Korners from FastCap to mount the drawer fronts.
Make sure to use the screws that are meant for this as they have very thin heads that won't interfere with the movement of the drawer.
These corners have long holes both horizontally and vertically for easy adjustment of the drawer front.
I'm also adding the Titussoft adapter for converting any white roller slide to soft close. These adapters do have one thing that I don't like - if you lift the drawer too much while pulling it out, it will disconnect from the mechanism. It is easy to reset , but I wish they wouldn't do that. You could always add a block of wood to the side of the cabinet that comes over the side of the drawer to prevent it from lifting.
If you have tips, I'd love to hear them in the comments below!
Man, thank you so much! I'm a 4th year apprentice carpenter but I do cabinetry on the side, learning mostly online. You are by far the best resource for taking my work to the next level. THANK YOU!
Thanks for the clear, succinct video on installing drawer fronts.
Hey I thought I would chime in with the way I fasten drawer fronts. If the drawers are getting hardware anyway, I go ahead and drill the fronts for the hardware first and then use screws through the front into the drawer box to temporarily hold it in place until I secure from the back. Then I remove the screws through the front and finish drilling the holes for the hardware. The fastcap jig is cool but I find I don't really need it since 95% of drawers and doors get drilled for hardware anyway. Thanks!
Thanks, I've tried that as well!
You make awesome videos !!! Are u training soon ? Or any workshop Coming up
Thanks. I don't have anything scheduled yet but am thinking about doing a class or so. Any particular training you'd be interested in?
