I read what other people reported about difficulties with both screw length and issues with threads and became nervous about the success of this project. So before installing, I threaded each of the handles with the screws provided. No difficulties. My opinion is that you need to take your time and make sure everything is aligned before proceeding. I had no failed insertions but unless you are a pro, do not use a drill to insert. Also, you don't need to strong arm the insertion. If it's not threading smoothly, back it out, use another screw if necessary, and reinsert. Proper alignment is critical. I also measured twice, drilled the first hole, inserted the handle and verified that the separation measured was correct. All perfect. If you drill slightly off perpendicular the handle and screw won't align but all you have to do is increase the bit size by one level and redrill. Gives enough play to align the connection. The screws provided were too short for the cabinet thickness so off to the hardware store where I purchased 8/32 screws that were just 1/4 longer. Perfect. These handles are a great quality! All arrived well packaged and in perfect condition. At the home store these are up to $10.00 per handle. What a deal. I am thrilled. Surpassed all expectations!

I would absolutely buy these again. Great price, great solid feel. All handles were finished perfectly. I needed 30 handles so I bought a 25 pack and a 10 pack. Out of the 35 handles, only 5 were slightly out of square and 4 of those were totally usable.I used a jig to drill the holes and every handle lined up perfectly. Great Price, Great Product.
