    I would make the fitting really loose and use double sided tape, close the door and it should stick to the cabinet door, drill the pilot holes and remove the double sided tape and install. Nice video!

    Got a tip for ya, instead of using paint marker. Put your latch on the cabinet, use masking tape on the cabinet and make a center Mark. Close the door and line up the door piece with the center mark. Works perfect every time.

    Putting these latches on a drawer already installed is what I need to find out about, a door latch is much simpler to show.

    Another great idea among many.
    When I do my electrical part of my conversion I will be using your links.
    Always a thumbs up 👍

    Those look much more durable. Hadn't thought of using marker. I've also found play dough works well for marking where to drill holes. Good to know other options.

    How about the idea of putting two short screws in the door catch (if needed, held in place with masking tape) and clicking it to the frame catch, then by closing the door, the two screws will produce two indentations in the door?

    Best latch is...metal plate on one side super strong magnet on other. Done. No handle. No rattle. No dishes on the van floor. Just sayin.. and congrats!

    Threadlock those threads on the Japanese ones! If the screws for adjustment fall out you might lose them forever like I did.

    Grease pen or lipstick works great.

    Did you skip a part? at 3:48 How do you know how far into the cabinet to put the initial piece? (how did you the measurement from the front flush of the cabinet door?)

    Are the ball latches much stronger than the 20 pounds magnet ones?

    So, what latches do you use for a stack of drawers where there is nothing to mount to above (between) the drawers?

    • @SaraandAlexJames
      @SaraandAlexJames  Před 4 lety

      we always have a face frame on the cabinet so there is something to attach to with drawers

  • @CurboroughSprinter
    @CurboroughSprinter Před 3 lety +1

    Blu-tack works better for marking up but they don’t hold the door strongly (at least the ones I bought didn’t) even with the balls tightened up.
