Question 1

WHERE CAN I BUY THE H-JIG?

Accepted Answer

The Handle Jig can be purchased online from www.thehandlejig.com

Question 2

WHAT MAKES THE H-JIG DIFFERENT FROM OTHER HANDLE JIGS?

Accepted Answer

The handle to be fitted is attached to the H-JIG automatically setting the distance between drilling points.  Because the handle becomes part of the tool there is no limit to the length of handle which can be fitted.

Question 3

DOES THE H-JIG WORK WITH ALL HANDLE SIZES?

Accepted Answer

​The H-JIG can be used with short handles and extra long handles and can be used on the vast majority of doors and drawers. There are a small number of handle and drawer length combinations which cannot be accommodated - in particular very short handles centred on very long drawers. The maximum distance from the edge of the panel to the first drilling point is 310mm.

​WHAT ABOUT CUP HANDLES?

Question 7

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SET UP THE H-JIG

Accepted Answer

The H-JIG can be set up in around 1 minute.  See our videos for examples of how the jig is setup.

Question 8

CAN YOU DRILL DIRECTLY ONTO THE DOOR OR DRAWER FRONT WITH THE H-JIG?

Accepted Answer

We do not recommend drilling directly. The H-JIG is designed to allow drilling positions to be marked with a pencil or pen and then drilled. We recommend holding a wooden block behind the door when drilling to avoid splitting the surface of the door.
