What happens here
With the pilot marks established, use a power drill fitted with a 5/32-inch drill bit to bore through the cabinet door. It's crucial to drill from the front side of the cabinet door to minimize chipping on the visible surface. Drill at both marked locations, creating clean holes that will accommodate the screws for the new cabinet pull. The video notes that any minor roughness from previous drilling will be concealed by the new handle.
Goal: Create clean, accurately sized holes for the new cabinet pull screws.
