You’re up against a bunch of challenges when installing drawer boxes and drawer fronts. When the slides are installed in the cabinet they need to be perfectly perpendicular to the cabinet front. When you’re installing the drawer box part of the slide it needs to be perfectly positioned on the drawer side. After all that you need to get the drawer fronts on the drawers so they’re perfectly centered, aligned with each other and have the right spacing.

Problem solver #1

Use Kreg’s Drawer Slide Jig to handle the slide part of the job. It’ll get the slides into the cabinet perfectly positioned and perpendicular to the case front. Then use it to hold the drawer box in just the right spot while you fasten the slides onto the drawer. Use self-adjusting clamps to secure the jig to your cabinet.

Problem solver #2

The next thing we’re up against is getting the drawer fronts installed so they’re centered and spaced correctly. Use Kreg’s Drawer Front Jig for this. The jig’s clamps hold the front against the drawer box AND let you open the drawer to screw everything together.

Overall these jigs get you the extra pair of hands you need to easy drawer and drawer front installation.
