Hardware to attach false drawer fronts

[Martin Wasner]

You guys have an extremely different definition of false front than I do. A false front to me has no drawer behind it.

As for mounting a drawer front to a drawer box. I typically just use four screws in the corners, and an extra somewhere in the middle when needed. Which isn't often.

I use that type of adjuster on inset drawers. The two adjuster screws, one or two knob screws are all I have ever found necessary except for drawer fronts over 12" deep. They hold just fine.

I don't like the extra adjusters. It seems to take a lot of tries to get it looking the way I want. I find it easier to just put double faced tape on the drawer and then push the decorative drawer front (i.e. false front) against the tape. I can then check it and, if it is OK, drive fasteners from the inside and/or attach the knob or pull. If it isn't, another try will usually get it.

I actually don't often use false fronts. Seems like a waste of materials. I'd rather just let the drawer front be the actual drawer front.
