3 32 inch bit all right so once you've got your pilot hole set you've got your felt backing on here set you can also just take a file and file these edges after you cut your angle iron that way there's no sharp burs or anything on your template and your template then you're just going to end up using it just like this i'm going to take my template i'm gonna set it on top of my door now you want it set on on your top of your doors you're always gonna drill the holes on the top so people won't see them on the bottom doors they're always gonna be drilled on the bottom and for those of you who think it's an absolute sin to put cop hooks or drill holes in your cabinet doors i'm going to show you another option after this video where you don't have to do so i'm not a big fan of it but it actually works for some people so now i've got my angle iron set it just sets on my cabinet door it's centered right in the door and now i'm going to just take and drill my two pilot holes in here for my top hooks drill a hole it's a and that's a 3 32 inch bit that you're going to be using i've got two pilot holes set right in the middle there and now i'm going to take two three quarter inch cup hooks and just screw those cup hooks in and now you can hang your door for spraying very simple easy system and very cool little professional looking template made out of one inch aluminum angle iron and i like there's you can buy different size cup hooks you can buy larger cup hooks but the three-quarter inch cup hooks um you can see there here's a three-quarter versus an inch i just like the three quarter inch ones they're a little bit smaller because the hangers themselves are a little bit smaller too so we used larger cup hooks when we were using the wooden hangers that i would get from my local hardware store but now we use the psdr system which is a way better system for hanging your doors now you can see there you go that's how we set our cup hooks using our professional template now it's really important to set them at 10 inches apart if you don't set them at 10 inches apart when you're transporting from your spraying
