![]() In the end it will look something like this. Do a little at a time until it the knob screws on. You do not want to go all the way through the board with this big drill bit. You may have to test it a few times to get it deep enough. There should be enough threads coming through to hold the knob or pull. Drill deep enough to allow the screw to come through the other side of your drawer front. Place the larger drill bit tip in the center of the already drilled smaller hole. It may be slightly larger, but not smaller. ![]() Next I get out my large drill bits and match the size of the drill bit to the size of my screw head. That’s when you probably discovered it was too short. To start you should have already drilled a hole the diameter of your screw. I however like to use what I have, remember I’m impatient. They create a bigger hole for the head of the screw to fall within the piece of wood. You can buy counter sink drill bits like these. I do not like this option because it can take time to try and match the threads on the screws.Īnd often the manufacture makes the thread slightly different making it hard to match. ![]() My new hardware doesn’t comes with long enough screws or screws that are a tad bit short. When adding new hardware I often run into the same problem. For example in my master bath I used old doors I bought at the Restore on a custom cabinet we built and finished it off with porcelain knobs. One of the key elements is putting on new hardware. I love to make the old look new and beautiful.
