False drawer fronts

[Giff]

I am making some drawers with false drawer fronts and they are 750mm x 260mm. The drawer is 16mm and the front 18mm Has anyone any recommendations as to how to fix them leaving a bit of wiggle room for adjustment. Thanks Geoff

Insert the first 2 screws from the back through o/sized holes. Install the drawer and tap to adjust until right, then install the other screws

If you're also putting knobs/handles on them drill the drawer front holes first. Offer up the drawer front and drill straight through. Theres usually enough slop on the holes to get them near enough in place then secure properly afterwards.

put some double sided sticky tape on the draw front and offer it up to the draw line it up and then press home it should hold it in place while you screw through the back

+1 for double sided tape, works perfectly and it's quick and simple.
