Secure Handles to Panels
• Use a 7/8" spade bit to drill 1/2" to 9/16" max. depth
into the back side of the panel. At this depth there
will be enough screw threads to engage the handle
on the appearance side. See the illustration below.
• Stand the panel up on the hinge side. Place a plastic
spacer into the 7/8" opening, then drop the screw
through the spacer.
