I wanted to install a handle on my wooden kitchen cabinet. As I didn’t want to spend money on hiring a carpenter, I was looking for a DIY method on how to drill a hole in a cabinet. I found you can mark the area properly and then drill the hole. I followed the process, and hence sharing the same below for you.

How to Drill Hole in Wood Cabinet Door?

More than the actual drilling, there are some safety measures you need to follow, such as wearing protective goggles and keeping the door open for air. 

  • Use a smaller drill bit to drill a starter hole.

  • Then, position your drill to the pencil marks and slowly drill into the wood. This can be tricky, as you need to keep your hands steady, so the drilling happens smoothly. 

  • Use a drill bit the same size of the screw you’re using to drill the hole. 

How to Drill Hole in Wood Cabinet Drawer?

We have a cabinet door, but while researching, I came across both the steps so, in case you have a cabinet drawer, you can follow the below process. 

  • You need to measure the height of the drawer and then divide it in half. 

  • Once you’re done measuring, make a pencil mark, then measure the width of the drawer.

  • Divide this number in half to mark the horizontal centre of the cabinet front. 

  • If you’re drilling a single hole for knobs, this centre is where you have to drill.

I found these steps tricky, so if you’re not sure, I’d recommend taking a professional’s help. I hope this helps you understand a bit about how to drill hole in cabinet.
