Once the fun of choosing cabinet hardware is over, it's time to get down to business and install it. In our last house this was done by the builder's crew. Let's just say they weren't as picky as we are. There were pulls that were cock-eyed and out of alignment. Not by a whole lot, but it really brings the kitchen design down a couple of notches when this happens.
You know what we're going to say next, right? Yep. Measure twice, drill once. To find the exact center of a drawer, if that's where you want a single knob installed, then simply make two diagonal lines that intersect at the precise center. (This is actually our older daughter's bathroom vanity, by the way).

Once you've made your pencil mark, drill straight through the drawer, then insert the knob stem and use the nut provided to hold it in place.

There are some handy gadgets out there to help make sure your placement remains consistent.And here is a mounting template from Lowe's, which costs less than $5 and is really helpful when you aren't mounting something in the exact middle.
