Why This Cabinet Door Hardware Jig Is the Best on the Market

A tape measure and a pencil can get you close. The Bivarlo cabinet door hardware jig gets you exact, on every door, every drawer, every time. Here is what makes ours the best cabinet pulls jig you can put in your kit:

• Hardened stainless steel drill bushings. Keep the bit dead straight so the hole is true. No wandering. No tear-out.
• Adjustable side stops. Set the jig once and clone the same hole placement across every cabinet door in the room.
• Universal hardware compatibility. Works with knobs, single-hole pulls, and wide pulls up to 12 inches center-to-center.
• Drawer and door modes. Flip and slide the body to switch from cabinet door layout to drawer front centerlines in seconds.
• Engineered by Bivarlo, with feedback from kitchen installers who do this five days a week.

Compared with a paper template or a freehand pencil-and-tape layout, the Bivarlo kitchen hardware jig saves hours per kitchen and eliminates the heartbreak of one crooked pull on a brand-new cabinet door.

Why the Bivarlo Cabinet Hardware Jig Is a Carpenter’s Favorite

Bivarlo builds tools the way a working installer would build them: tight tolerances, hardened wear surfaces, and a layout system that survives real kitchen remodels. Our cabinet door hardware jig is the result of that approach. Every bushing is press-fit and aligned, every adjustable stop locks down rock solid, and the body is molded from glass-filled ABS that will not warp or crack after a hundred cabinets.

Cheap knock-off jigs cut corners. Soft plastic bushings let the drill bit wander, slop in the adjustable stops puts knobs out of line, and missing scales force you to measure anyway. The Bivarlo cabinet hardware jig is engineered to outlast cheap alternatives, which is why it earns top marks in independent tool reviews from Family Handyman and other trade publications. For more on the engineering principles behind drilling templates, the Wikipedia entry on jig (tool) is a great free reference.

How to Use a Cabinet Door Hardware Jig in 5 Easy Steps

1. Position the jig on the cabinet door. Hook the lipped edge over the corner of your door and lock the adjustable stops to the offset you want.
2. Set the hardware centerline. Slide the bushing carriage to the center-to-center spacing of your pull, or to the single-hole position for a knob.
3. Clamp the jig down. Snug the built-in cam clamp so the cabinet door hardware jig will not shift while you drill.
4. Drill through the bushings. Run the included HSS bit through both hardened guides for a perfectly perpendicular hole every time.
5. Move to the next door. Because the stops are still set, the second, twentieth, and fortieth door drill in the exact same spot.

Five seconds per layout, no measuring, no math. That is why the cabinet door hardware jig has become the quiet secret weapon of professional remodelers. For more layout tips, see our drawer front installation guide and our how to install cabinet pulls walkthrough.

Cabinet Pulls Jig vs Paper Template: Which Should You Use?

A printed paper template has been the budget option for years. Tape it on the door, mark with an awl, drill carefully, and pray it does not slide. It works on one cabinet. On door number twelve, the tape is gummy, the marks are smudged, and the bit is wandering through soft paper.

The cabinet door hardware jig solves every one of those problems. The hardened steel bushings guide the bit dead-true, the adjustable stops keep every door identical, and the integrated clamp holds everything still while you drill. For a tiny kitchen with four cabinets, a paper template can scrape by. For anything bigger, the drawer hardware jig mode plus door mode of the Bivarlo is the only sane choice. To dig into the design principles behind drilling templates, the Wikipedia entry on woodworking jigs is a great free reference, and the This Old House archive has plenty of cabinet upgrade walkthroughs that use the same approach.
