What happens here

To ensure precise placement for the new cabinet pull, utilize a 'Drawer Pull and Handle Jig' from Rockler. Position the jig on the cabinet door, aligning it according to the desired location and the specific measurements of the new pull. The jig's adjustable guides help to center and space the holes correctly. Once the jig is securely positioned, use the awl that is typically included with the jig set to create small, accurate pilot marks on the cabinet door. These marks will guide the drill bit in the subsequent step.

Goal: Precisely mark the locations for new screw holes on the cabinet door.
