As with any woodworking jig, we
recommend becoming familiar with the setup and use of
the JIG IT Knob and Pull Pro Drilling Guide by practicing
on scrap material before attempting to use it on your
final workpiece.
The Rockler JIG IT Knob and Pull Pro Drilling Guide works for
installations anywhere from 1" to 814" from the edge of drawer
front or door and works with drawer pulls with posts spaced up
to 712" from center to center. When installing a pull, it uses the
hardware itself to set the drilling spacing, so you can be sure the
holes will match the pull.
4
When installing pulls, it will be helpful to
know the pulls' center-to-center distance – the distance
from the center of one mounting hole to the center of the
other. Often, this information can be found on the package
or website listing for the product. If it's not listed anywhere,
measure the distance yourself, keeping in mind that it could
be in millimeters. This information will make it easier to
center the Guide in position later.
The Drill Guide Back Plates (5) have
registration notches on each side to help make sure the
two Drill Guide Carriages (4) are aligned properly after being
adjusted. The Fixed Leg (1) and Adjustable Leg (2) have
notches at regular intervals, and the registration notches on
the Back Plates allow you to count the number of teeth from
the notches in the Legs to the notches in the Back Plates to
make sure everything is aligned on the same level.
Setting the Drilling Guide for Your Hardware
Fig. 1
1. Loosen both Drill Guide Bushings (6) until the Drill Guide
Carriages (4) and Drill Guide Back Plates (5) can be moved.
Move both Carriages and Back Plates until the left directional
arrows on the Carriages are at the 2.5" mark. There's nothing
crucial about this height setting; the Carriages and Back Plate
just need to be low enough to provide access to the holes in
the back of the Carriages for mounting your hardware. Fig. 1.
Fig. 2
Fig. 3
2. Make sure that both Drill Guide Back Plates (5) are aligned
at the same level and remain oriented so the registration
notches on the sides are closer to the top than to the bottom.
Tighten both Drill Guide Bushings (6) by hand.
3. Use one of the screws that came with your pull to attach
the left side of the pull on the angled flat on the Drill
Guide Carriage (4) attached to the Fixed Leg (1).
(If you're installing a knob, there's really no need to
install it on the Pro Drilling Guide; you'll use the Drill
Guide Carriage on the Fixed Leg to set up and align
the Guide for drilling. Skip ahead to Positioning the
Drilling Guide for Mounting a Knob). Fig. 2.
4. Loosen the knurled knob at the top of the Adjustable Leg (2),
as well as the thumbscrews at the bottom of the Fixed Leg
(1) and the Adjustable Leg, and slide the Adjustable Leg
until the hole on the angled flat of its Drill Guide Carriage (4)
aligns with the right mounting hole on the pull. Don't retighten
the knurled knob at this point. Use the second screw that came
with the pull to attach the right side of the pull to the Drill
Guide Carriage. Make sure that both screws securing the pull
to the Pro Drilling Guide are snug but not overtight. Fig. 2.
5. Loosen both Drill Guide Bushings (6) on both Drill Guide
Carriages (4) and move the Carriages up as far as they will go,
until the tops of both Drill Guide Back Plates (5) are tight
against the bottom of the Fence (3).
6. Make sure that both Drill Guide Back Plates (5) are
perfectly aligned, and then tighten the knurled knob on
the Adjustable Leg (2). This process helps ensure the two
legs will be parallel. Fig. 3.
8. Make sure that the Guide hasn't shifted and then use the Drill
Guide Bushings (6) to drill the mounting holes for your
hardware. The best way to do this is to insert the bit into the
Bushing and start the drill. Allow the drill to get to full speed
before contacting the drawer front. Don't force the bit, and drill
about 1/2" at a time, backing out occasionally to clear chips,
until you make it all the way through. Fig. 6.

> If your application requires that the hardware be installed
less than 1" from the reference edge, you will need to
attach a shop-made wooden spacer to the bottom face of
the Fence (2) using screws (not included) driven through
the pre-machined mounting holes.
> For reference, the hole in the Drill Guide Bushing (6) on
the Fixed Leg (1) is 3/4" in from the left edge of the Fixed
Leg and 1" in from the left edge of the Fence (3).
Positioning the Drilling Guide
for Mounting a Single Pull
1. Determine where you want to install the hardware on the
drawer or door. (This involves figuring out both vertical and
horizontal positioning.) Mark the mounting location(s) on the
door or drawer front. If you're installing a single pull on a
drawer, one of the simplest ways to do this is to draw a vertical
line marking the center of the drawer front and then a
horizontal line marking how far down from the top of the
drawer front you want the pull to be. (Measure and note this
distance, too.)
2. Loosen both Drill Guide Bushings (6) until the Drill Guide
Carriages (4) and Drill Guide Back Plates (5) can be moved.
Move both Carriages and Back Plates down until the pointers
reach the desired mounting distance from the reference edge,
which in this example is the top of the drawer face. Inches are
displayed on the left side on each leg, and millimeters are
shown on the right side.
3. Once the Drill Guide Carriages (4) and Drill Guide Back Plates
(5) are at the desired level, check to be sure they are perfectly
aligned and then retighten both Drill Guide Bushings (6). Then
check the setting by positioning the Guide on the drawer front,
with the horizontal flat of the Fence (3) resting on the top edge.
The holes in the Drill Guide Bushings should be centered on
the horizontal line you marked earlier. If they're not, loosen the
Bushings and adjust the position of the Carriages and Back
Plates, making sure that they are perfectly level.
4. To establish the side-to-side position of the Guide, loosen the
thumbscrews at the bottom of the Fixed Leg (1) and Adjustable
Leg (2) that secure the Indexing Foot (7) in position.
5. Markings locating the centerlines of the most popular
sizes of pulls have been molded into the bottom edge of the
Fence (3). Find the center mark for the center-to-center
dimension of your particular pull and position the Guide so that
center mark aligns with the vertical centerline you drew on the
drawer face earlier. Fig. 4.
6. Clamp or hold the Guide in position and, if the drawer front is
short enough, slide the Indexing Foot (7) until it contacts the
left edge of the drawer front; then tighten the thumbscrews at
the bottom of the Fixed Leg (1) and Adjustable Leg (2) to
secure the Indexing Foot. This provides two reference points
for the Guide and is especially helpful if you're installing pulls
in the same position on multiple drawer fronts of the same size.
On drawer fronts too long to use the Indexing Foot, align the
Drilling Guide by using your layout lines. Fig. 5.
7. Remove the included 3/16" Split-Point Drill Bit (8) from its
storage space on the guide and chuck it in your handheld drill.

> If your application requires that the hardware be installed
less than 1" from the reference edge, you will need to
attach a shop-made wooden spacer to the bottom face of
the Fence (2) using screws (not included) driven through
the pre-machined mounting holes.
> For reference, the hole in the Drill Guide Bushing (6) on
the Fixed Leg (1) is 3/4" in from the left edge of the Fixed
Leg and 1" in from the left edge of the Fence (3).
If, instead of centering a single pull, you're installing a pull at each
end of a long drawer front, you can set up the Guide at the left
end and then be able to drill at the right end without needing to
measure and mark. (This is especially helpful if you're mounting
hardware on a bank of identical drawer fronts.)
1. First, you need to set the Drilling Guide and Indexing Foot (7)
for the hardware you're using and the desired mounting
location, as described in Setting the Drilling Guide for
Your Hardware and Positioning the Drilling Guide for
Mounting a Single Pull. The difference in this case is that,
instead of marking the center of the whole drawer front, you
will mark where you want the center of the pull to be.
2. Once you have set the Drilling Guide and the Indexing Foot
(7), use the included Hex Wrench (9) to loosen the set screw
on the Indexing Foot's stop collar. (The Hex Wrench should
be in its storage spot on the Fence [3].) Slide the stop collar
tight to the Fixed Leg (1) and retighten the set screw to secure
the stop collar in place. Fig. 7.
3. Clamp or hold the Guide firmly in position, with the bottom
flat of the Fence (3) against the top of the drawer front and the
Indexing Foot (7) tight against the left edge. With the included
3/16" Split-Point Drill Bit (8) chucked in your handheld drill,
use the Drill Guide Bushings (6) to drill the mounting holes for
your first pull: Insert the bit into the Bushing and start the drill.
Allow the drill to get to full speed before contacting the drawer
front. Don't force the bit, and drill about 1/2" at a time, backing
out occasionally to clear chips, until you make it all the way
through. (If you're working on a bank of identical drawers, drill
for all left-side pulls with this setting.)
4. Loosen the thumbscrews at the bottom of the Fixed Leg (1)
and Adjustable Leg (2) and slide the Indexing Foot (7) out to
remove it.
5. Reinstall the Indexing Foot (7) on the other side of the Guide,
sliding it in until the stop collar contacts the right side of the
Adjustable Leg (2). Tighten the thumbscrews at the bottom
of the Fixed Leg (1) and Adjustable Leg (2) to secure it
in position. Fig. 8.
6. To drill the holes for the pull on the right side of the drawer
front, simply position the Guide at that end, so that the bottom
flat of the Fence (3) is against the top of the drawer front
and the Indexing Foot (7) is tight against the right edge. Clamp
or hold the Guide firmly in position, and use the Drill Guide
Bushings (6) to drill the mounting holes for your second pull.
(If you're working on a bank of identical drawers, drill for all
right-side pulls with this setting.) Fig. 9.

Positioning the Drilling Guide for Mounting a Knob
1. Determine where you want to install the hardware on the
drawer or door. Mark both the vertical and horizontal
positioning with intersecting lines.
2. Loosen the knurled knob at the top of the Adjustable Leg (2),
as well as the thumbscrews at the bottom of the Fixed Leg (1)
and the Adjustable Leg, and slide the Adjustable Leg until it's
tight against the Fixed Leg.
3. Position the Drilling Guide on the drawer front or door. Loosen
the Drill Guide Bushing (6) on the Fixed Leg (1) until the
Drill Guide Carriage (4) and Drill Guide Back Plate (5) can be
moved. Adjust the Drill Guide Carriage and Drill Guide Back
Plate until the pointer reaches the desired mounting distance
from the reference edge. Inches are displayed on the left side
of the leg, and millimeters are shown on the right side. Adjust
the position of the Drill Guide Carriage and Drill Guide Back
Plate on the Adjustable Leg (2) to match.
4. If necessary, shift the Drilling Guide until the hole in the
Drill Guide Bushing (6) on the Fixed Leg (1) is centered on
the intersection of the lines you drew in Step 1.
5. Clamp or hold the Guide firmly in position, and with the
included 3/16" Split-Point Drill Bit (8) chucked in your
handheld drill, use the Drill Guide Bushing (6) in the Fixed
Leg (1) to drill the mounting hole. Fig. 10.
6. If you're installing knobs on multiple drawers or doors in the
same position, loosen the thumbscrews at the bottom of the
Fixed Leg (1) and Adjustable Leg (2) that secure the Indexing
Foot (7) in position.
7. Clamp or hold the Guide in position, centered on the
intersection of your layout lines, and slide the Indexing Foot
(7) until it contacts the edge of the drawer front or door; then
tighten the thumbscrews at the bottom of the Fixed Leg (1)
and Adjustable Leg (2) to secure the Indexing Foot.
8. If you need to mirror the drilling location (say, to mount a knob
on a facing door), use the included Hex Wrench (9) to loosen
the set screw on the Indexing Foot's stop collar. Slide the stop
collar tight to the Fixed Leg (1) and retighten the set screw to
secure the stop collar in place.
9. To drill using the mirror setting, loosen the thumbscrews
at the bottom of the Fixed Leg (1) and Adjustable Leg (2) and
remove the Indexing Foot (7). Reinstall the Indexing Foot
on the other side of the Guide, sliding it in until the stop collar
contacts the right side of the Adjustable Leg (2). Tighten the
thumbscrews at the bottom of the Fixed Leg (1) and Adjustable
Leg (2) to secure it in position. Use the Indexing Foot to
establish the Guide's position, and drill the hole, this time
using the Drill Guide Bushing (6) in the Adjustable Leg (2).
