Practical tools for measured work
Drawer Pull & Knob Drilling Template
Calculate centered knob or pull holes and print a full-scale drawer-front drilling template.
Calculate the layout, check the diagram, then print the result for the shop or jobsite.
Enter 0 for a single knob hole.
How it works
The pull is centered horizontally. Two-hole hardware is split equally around the center; a positive visual offset moves the drilling line upward.
Current-input example
The result above uses these exact values. This snapshot is included when the page is printed so the output can be checked against the original measurements.
- Drawer-front width
- 500 mm
- Drawer-front height
- 200 mm
- Hole center spacing
- 128 mm
- Upward visual offset
- 0 mm
- Minimum edge margin
- 20 mm
Primary result: Vertical drill line: 100.0 mm from top.
Before using the result
- Measure from the datum or reference edge described by this tool, and do not mix inside, outside and centerline dimensions.
- Keep inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final cutting or purchasing tolerance requires.
- When the result is close to a limit, verify it with a test piece, field measurement, manufacturer drawing or qualified project professional.
Limitations
Measure the actual hardware center-to-center spacing. Verify print calibration and drill a scrap test before drilling finished fronts.
Frequently asked questions
What should I verify before using this result?
Recheck the physical measurements, confirm that every input uses the displayed unit, and compare the result with the applicable drawing, product specification, code requirement or test piece.
Why might the finished result differ?
Real work can include thickness, kerf, seams, tolerances, hardware allowances, installation clearances or site conditions that are outside the calculation. The limitations section identifies the main exclusions for this tool.
