Nathan Gilbert helps a homeowner with upgrading their kitchen cabinet hardware. While the cabinets themselves are nice, the homeowner dislikes the lack of hardware. Nathan shows the homeowner several jig options before explaining how they’ll tackle the job. With a drill and a few jigs in hand, the two set to work installing hardware and giving those kitchen cabinets a serious facelift.
Builder-grade cabinets are a great option for folks looking to install affordable cabinets without long lead times. However, they often come without hardware and look quite basic. Carpenter Nathan Gilbert shows a homeowner how to upgrade his basic cabinets by installing hardware with a few basic tools and techniques.
Difficulty: ⅖
Time: 2 hours
Cost: Around $200, depending on the hardware
Where to find it?
For both the cabinet doors and drawers, Nathan installed the Brightened Opulence Matte Black Drawer Pulls [bit.ly/3FHcKW2] in two sizes, which are manufactured by Liberty Hardware [www.libertyhardware.com/]. The hardware came with mounting screws, though Nathan opted to use longer screws on the drawer faces because they were thicker than the cabinet doors.
For any cabinet hardware installation, Nathan highly recommends using a jig to keep the hardware lined up consistently. He mentioned the Cabinet Hardware Jig ORIGINAL [bit.ly/3PFPXi7], which is manufactured by True Position Tools [truepositiontools.com/]. For the actual install project, he used a combination of a KHI-PULL Cabinet Hardware Jig [bit.ly/3FHd86W], which is made by Kreg Tools [www.kregtool.com/home], and a DIY jig that Nathan made out of scrap, 1-by plywood [bit.ly/3W8OcfS], wood glue [amzn.to/3Wxz0sa], and finish nails [amzn.to/3V9H8OA], which are materials that can all be found at home centers.
To drill the holes in the cabinet doors and drawers, Nathan used a Festool [www.festoolusa.com/] Cordless Drill CSX [bit.ly/3Yzbihe], and to tighten the hardware screws, he used a 20V MAX Lithium Ion 3/8” Right Angle Drill Driver [bit.ly/3PFQKQ6] manufactured by DeWalt [www.dewalt.com/].

How to Install Cabinet Hardware | Ask This Old House
/ thisoldhouse - Навчання та стиль
It was awesome to explain and demonstrate and then have the homeowner work alongside! Nice!
Very nice! Experts really make it look so easy!
I thought Nate was a Dewalt guy? Tommy must've bitten him with the Festool bug😂
LOVE NATHAN!!!!!
Great tips!
Nice video.
I hope you patented your wooden measure awesome idea
The best solutions are often the simplest ones. We lose track of that in big projects!
Every time I hear this music. I know I'm going to learn something new.
Interesting
How did the back of the cabinet already have the dimple from the screw when he was installing it for the first time?
lol I noticed that too. obviously it had been attached, then they larped like they were checking it. good eye, friend
No mention of the best way to do this? True Position Hardware Jig is the only way I would ever recommend installing cabinet knobs and pulls
I’m betting full instruction on that jig wasn’t included because the vast majority of us having to watch UA-cam to learn how to do this aren’t spending $200 for a tool we’d use for a one off project.
the blue Kreg jig was @$20, now it's $32. 81 Million votes.
is that a kreg jig with the label covered?
Yes. I have that one. It's good for small drawers.
The microwave broke part way through the video?
What size drill bit was used?
3/16
DJ Kaled?😂
💥DOPE💥😁👍
@@Kevin-mp5of I'm going to send you some diapers, don't poop on your self. 🤣🤣🤣😂😂
should clamp down that jig before drilling if you want precision.
What’s a “Dra”? 😂
The hard part of installing cabinet hardware is the door/box hinge, of course they don't show that
When we had our kitchen remodeled some years ago the cabinets came with hinges installed but no handles so this is probably the typical situation. If you need to install hinges just look on the TOH channel and I am absolutely certain you will find a video on that.
Why does that guy have a drawer full of toothpaste and in the kitchen.
Wonder if the owner will have his brother Mauro paint the cab's
@@Kevin-mp5of Yep
woohoo he used metric and said millimeters, wonders will never cease.
that drawer jig was rubbish
Humanity has lost the ability the drill a hole without getting professional advice first.
So you choose to criticize an organization that is literally founded on education for basic and intermediate DIY skills? Your point is? Are you going to comment and criticize the Major League Baseball UA-cam channel for showing clips of baseball players? Because they are overpaid athletes? If you don't like the content don't watch it. Other people like it.
@@Kevin-mp5of, then don't watch it. Simple. People are worth exactly what someone else is willing to pay them, whether they are a heart surgeon, master electrician, grocery store stock clerk or professional athlete. If you don't want to support any of the people YOU think are overpaid, don't support them. Obviously they have value, otherwise the very successful business people wouldn't pay for their services.
@@MacDaddy88 I didn't criticise any organization. Unless you consider humanity an organization.
Ok, boomer.
@@prozack1312 Very original! Never heard that one before.
Meow
That's not a meow that concerns you
"Mňau" in Slovak... :)
I sprayed diarrhea on the toilet
@@Kevin-mp5of your money is good here.
@@Kevin-mp5of I started sprayingbefore bending over all the way.. at least I missed the wall this time!
Young tradies don't wear any eye protection. If you filmed this in Australia you would need to wear a Hazmat suit.
