Install Cabinet Hardware Fast and Easy - True Position Tools Cabinet Hardware Jig

[@Rangyroth4089]

I watched several videos. Yours was the best. Thank you. I finally understand how to adjust the jig. Nobody was explaining what you measure on the cupboard doors or drawers. They only discussed the handle measurements, which was the only part that was a no brainer. Of course i got a different jig, similar, but didn't come with instructions. I noticed on reviews everyone is complaining. But, because of you i don't have to return. I appreciate your knowledge. I was skeptical how long your videos was, but im so glad i watched it. Thx! Great job being thorough!

[@jamiefowler9752]

I just got this from the Amazon link the you provided. It will get a workout this weekend. So far it is best cabinet handle jig out of the dozens of commercial and home made jigs I have ever used. This will be a part of my cabinet building arsenal for a very long time. Jason, I want to thank you for your service to our country and a veteran brother. You do an amazing job on these videos. Taking your time and being thorough and informative through every step of the way. Thank you Jamie Fowler

[@bentswoodworking]

Awesome, you are going to enjoy using it for sure. Thank you for taking the time to write this message. I really appreciate it. I am glad to hear you are enjoying the videos

[@patrickarchuleta9594]

God is great.

[@theodorehartman5086]

This cabinet hardware tool is absurdly too expensive. Thank you for the video. Several hardware jigs look exactly like this one and your demonstration reinforced the knowledge to use the tool

[@bentswoodworking]

Thanks for watching!

[@bigbob9702]

I saw this video a while ago. I bought this device but haven’t had a chance to use it until yesterday. It was stunning how easy and efficient this tool is. The time it saved me paid for itself. Can’t say enough good about it.

[@bentswoodworking]

Extremely helpful when needed. I’ll use it even when I only need one drawer pull.

[@lbaldillez]

Finally! A video that was so thorough with actual demonstration. Some had the set up and some showed doing the holes but you went through everything and now I am going to install handles on my new kitchen. After using packing tape handles for 2 months. LOL. I have a knockoff and was searching for a tutorial. This was perfect. Thank you!

[@bentswoodworking]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@seanbrotherton542]

I grow to love your channel more and more with videos like this one. I'm taking my first shot at a bit more professional quality base cabinets and uppers for my garage to replace my first attempt cabinets from a few years back. Drawer slides and cabinet pulls are a headache. With a tool like this building cabinets becomes more fun. Without your demonstration I wouldn't have known about tools like this or would have skipped by it. Thanks a bunch for sharing and all of your clear explanations and demonstrations.

[@bentswoodworking]

You’re very welcome. Glad you found it helpful

[@1stFlyingeagle]

I built a 6' tall in-wall cabinet and used the jig for shelf pins. It came out perfect. Just can't say enough good to say how great this tool is.

[@xxsekoxx]

I am so happy something like this exists! We are having a house built and need to install all the hardware ourselves. I was dreading this until i saw this video. Thank you!

[@jimcoogan1529]

I have a friend that does a ton of cabinet hardware installs and he has two of the 1935's. Personally, I have the Kreg jig one and have set up my drill press with stops for the doors when they are not installed yet. But I do help my friend a bit and have borrowed his 1935 a few times for family projects. It really makes things move really fast and if you are a cabinet maker I would highly recommend it. For the average DIYer who just does a few hardware installs every now and then I would get something like a Kreg jig. Hardware installation used to give me the creeps because if I am off by a little it means I could have ruined something. With a jig I am off and running. A lot less stress for me. That's probably why I have a ton of jigs around :-) Thanks for the demo.

[@bentswoodworking]

Jim I’m glad you liked it. I agree, may not be for everyone but if you do cabinets on a relatively regular basis I this it’s invaluable

[@billybelmonte]

Excellent detailed video. Very helpful. Thank you.

[@bentswoodworking]

Glad it was helpful!

[@falconlawndart9597]

I appreciate the knowledge and the time you put into your videos. Your videos are priceless. I have a knock off that’s looks identical to this one, but it came with no instructions. It’s easy to figure out but I wasn’t about to try it on the new cabinets until I checked out your channel. Ive subscribed to your channel for several years now and I found this video and once again you saved the day.

[@bentswoodworking]

Happy to hear that

[@Rangyroth4089]

I have a knock off from Amazon with no instructions. It's probably the same one you got lol

[@bentswoodworking]

Glad it helped

[@bruceyeremian9036]

I just bought the copy from Amazon, as soon as you tighten down the adjustable sliding depth it is 1/16th out, not defective just a bad china knockoff. Spent 3 hours playing with it not to mention hand was cut twice from the sharp edges. I think their is a reason the copy sells for 32.00 in stead of 189.00. Buyers be where on china copies from Amazon

[@Rangyroth4089]

@@bruceyeremian9036 I noticed theres 2 separate lines on that slider depth piece. If u line up 1 line, 1 side, and not the line on the other side, (same piece) it will be off. Lining up 1 line, 1 side, does not do the other side accurately. Its close but its off. Did you notice two separate lines on the slider? So i had to push 1 corner over after i tightened 1 side down to a line. I have same knockoff its def built cheap. But if u watch both lines on that 1pc, you won't have to cut yourself ever again. I hope you understand what im saying. Without this its a 1/4" off, well almost 1/4". A little under...

[@bruceyeremian9036]

@@Rangyroth4089 I returned the cheap copy that looks identical to the one featured in this video to Amazon and bought a much better quality that worked great. If I did this for a living I would defiently spend the 229.00 that the True Position Tool that Bent's Recommended. Thanks for the response...

[@1stFlyingeagle]

And truly it is as simple as you just saw.

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

That’s an awesome jig, Jason! I hate installing hardware because I feel like being just a hair off is fatal hahah. Great video brother.

[@bentswoodworking]

Lol yeah I hate it too. This made it extremely easy and fast.

[@ThekiBoran]

I used the True Position for the first time yesterday. It worked great. The price reflects the fact that it's made in the US and not China. I'm wrestling with the idea of laying out $299 for a killer jig set vs $30 or so for Chinese made crap. It's not something I use very often but it kills me to buy any tool made in China. If at all possible I buy US made products, like my new Minnesota-made Redwing boots. :-)

[@rcorsico4612]

Great video! Thanks for all the explanation

[@Hotcars101]

Good video, thank you for sharing. I wish you would have demonstrated how to properly install the handles on the middle of the shaker drawer. How do you keep the jig level and in place. Thank you

[@bentswoodworking]

I would just use the top of the drawer front as the reference

[@patriotboardco.6578]

Not sure if it has been updated recently (purchased over the weekend), but the one I purchased came with two epoxy coated thumb screws that you can adjust to match the recess. The are mounted to the rear of the bushing.

[@IceManOregon]

What happens if the screw is smaller then the pilot hole? The drilled hole would be larger then the screw I'm using, what does one do in this case?

[@allanwilliams679]

Another very informative video Jason. As others have pointed out. I also have a very similar jig which was $29.99 From a company called BANGOOD. They sell some really useful woodworking tools for measuring etc at a crazy low price. So far the quality has been good too. Thanks again from London, England.

[@bentswoodworking]

Thanks!! 👍

[@allanwilliams679]

True Position Tools . Understood. Thank you.

[@juanasanchezalamo7728]

If that way to drill the doors for the handle installation don’t damage the wood in the back of the door ?

[@bentswoodworking]

You can still get a little blow out but I have found it to be minimal or I hold a block on the backside

[@tylerk1610]

Thanks for the discount code Brent!! Hope getting it from your link helps you out! I trust your review! Boiler Up!

[@dgramsz2146]

Great jig, I'm curious about the amount of tearout on the back side.

[@bentswoodworking]

It wasn’t to bad at all. I mean there is a little but you could remedy that with a block on the back side or tape would probably help. I installed a couple of the handles to test alignment and the screw head covered it.

[@pmelchman]

well done Jason. great explanation.

[@bentswoodworking]

Thanks buddy! 👊🏼

[@nathenjohnson2113]

What drill bit did u use

[@williamellis8993]

Interesting although it wouldn't be for me as an amateur woodworker. I saw on their website that it is made from aluminum and has hardened bushings for the drill holes. Will the setscrews mark the bar after a lot of uses?

[@bentswoodworking]

I’m sure it will over time but I couldn’t say yet

[@patrickarchuleta9594]

Very nice jig where can you purchase and how much thanks for all the info God bless.

[@bentswoodworking]

There is a link in the description or you can visit their website and save 10% on it by using BENTS10 at checkout. 👍

[@patrickmcdonald8023]

Thanks for your video. It was well thought out and provided a lot of information. Your video gave me confidence on doing my own which I have been putting off for 6 years. Do you put any Loctite on your hardware?

[@bentswoodworking]

Typically I do not

[@wallace0741]

Really enjoy all of your videos Jason. Everything is so clear, the correct speed, and very thorough. Even if I'm not in the market for the specific tool it's still a joy to watch and learn something new anyway. Really appreciate the great work!

[@bentswoodworking]

They can be used to drill your hinge plate holes locations

[@imstumped2052]

@@bentswoodworking I thought it might be. I thought the hole that is sitting at the zero mark could be used to mark where you want the centre of the hinge to be. I also checked the price for this on Amazon (in Canada) and the TP1934 is $289 and the TP1925 is $399. Time to start saving :)

[@bentswoodworking]

[@maddog1918]

Part of my daily job IS installing cabinet hardware. I can easily say with confidence that I installed over 5000 individual pieces in a years time. I deal with adjusting for different depth drawers, pulls, knobs etc constantly. Although it maybe acurate there are many other brands just as acurate for a quarter of the price and way easier to configure. Coming from a person who for the past decade has done this for a living, this is NOT worth the price

Which is diameter of the bushing in the jig ?

[@TreeOfLifeWoodworking]

Looks like an awesome jig. I did the hardware in my old house with just a super cheapo template from home Depot and it was honestly so easy that I can't imagine ever spending $189+ for this. That being said... If it was given to me I would use it lol

[@bentswoodworking]

It’s not for everyone but it’s a great tool to have. A must for cabinet makers in my opinion

@@bentswoodworking most definitely. I appreciate you sharing about it

[@brittinih8843]

His sad face about the error on the doors was funny 😅

[@TheAlogoc]

Its only good when using stop block. When using centar line ,the drill bit always pulls it one side.

[@woodcat4285]

To find the center of the handle, mount the handle to the slide brackets, then side until both measurements are the same, tighten screws. You don't need to know the exact measurements of the handle divided by two.

[@israellopez663]

Great thank you

[@bentswoodworking]

You’re welcome

[@jimcoolen1755]

Its a nice jig, but you can use the plastic drill guides they sell for cabinet hardware, way cheaper !!!!

[@danjenlilyful]

problem is a guy like me, I set new manufactured homes, do all the drywall, finish work, doors, siding, you name it. I have to make these homes look like they didn't travel 500 miles and get towed down mountain roads... I rarely have a job where I need to install all the cabinets, fronts, and pulls... so drop the money on one of these or measure each one.. wish they had a more affordable or even a DIY model for the guy that doesn't do it every day!

[@LouisianaPyro93]

They do, check Amazon dude ! For line for $30.

[@1stFlyingeagle]

Put the screws through the holes. Screw into the handle. Now you are absolute. Make your adjustment for position and start drilling. Never measure when you have a perfect template you can use for calibration.

[@Brownrl66]

I can get the exact same 12-in off of Amazon for $18

[@ChicagoAustinDC]

over $200 for a tool like this is crazy. Well there's an app for that. The king and charles version of this is only $12 for plastic and $47 for aluminum. Problem solved

[@csimet]

These jigs are worth their weight in gold, but you can get a King & Charles version of the basic tool (TP-1934) for about 1/4 to 1/3rd the cost at ~$50. It is well built out of solid aluminum, looks to be exactly the same jig and has served me well. Steer clear of the cheap plastic versions... too flimsy.
