Do you have to countersink these? A lot of the pulls out there you have to countersink,and we really don't want to have to do that to our cabinets

Yes. The two screw holes in the back require large holes to fit through. If you don't then the pull floats and the back is not flush against the cabinet. The holes are not super big, though. Sorry.

Yes, you do have to counter sink these pulls. It really wasn't too bad to do and they are VERY sturdy feeling.

I used these on both my cabinet doors and my drawers. But if you have the drawers that only have one hole in the center, there are also those pulls in the oil rubbed bronze also. Just do a search for "oil rubbed bronze".

If you don't want shelves, simply don't put them in. This unit is sturdy enough it does not use the shelves to stabilize it. You can also order extra shelves. But you cannot order it without the shelves. If you have shelves you are not using, I would be interested in buying them - if I haven;t ordered them online yet. But you could also sell them on eBay. Just be sure to name it correctly so people searching will find it.

I had the same question. I did not hide them in the wood. Once they were in place they actually look pretty good despite being on the outside of the drawer. I love the handles as they are very sturdy and so far no problems with the placement. Good luck....

Yes, they are "crazy" strong!! The best way to do it, is to hold them next to a sharp edged counter. Then push the top one off onto the counter and push it away. Only do One at a time, and only have a couple on the counter at a time... So don't sling back together. I found this by googling the question... I think there was actually a video on YouTube.

I wouldn't trust these drawer slides mounted that way. They will be difficult to pull at best. Worst case, they would just drop the drawer when you pull it out.

doesnt work like that.... not the newer drawer "closers" where they pull in the rest of the way (softly). this one has a kind of spring hinge where you close it most of the way and it will pull itself the rest of the way, not slowly, the way they have always been. but these are nice and strong and really does have a pull to it. but doesnt make it slam ! no creaking sounds, nice and smooth. one of the nicer looking hinges for the price. really upgraded my older kitchen. again if you have the outside hinges then these are great. the ones that close themselves are the ones that you attach from the inside, they pull the doors in slowly. i think those are the ones you were thinking of. doesnt work like that.... not the newer drawer "closers" where they pull in the rest of the way (softly). this one has a kind of spring hinge where you close it most of the way and it will pull itself the rest of the way, not slowly, the way they have always been. but these are nice and strong and really does have a pull to it. but doesnt make it slam ! no creaking sounds, nice and smooth. one of the nicer looking hinges for the price. really upgraded my older kitchen. again if you have the outside hinges then these are great. the ones that close themselves are the ones that you... » Read More doesnt work like that.... not the newer drawer "closers" where they pull in the rest of the way (softly). this one has a kind of spring hinge where you close it most of the way and it will pull itself the rest of the way, not slowly, the way they have always been. but these are nice and strong and really does have a pull to it. but doesnt make it slam ! no creaking sounds, nice and smooth. one of the nicer looking hinges for the price. really upgraded my older kitchen. again if you have the outside hinges then these are great. the ones that close themselves are the ones that you attach from the inside, they pull the doors in slowly. i think those are the ones you were thinking of. « Show Less

No. They are used to attach the file cabinet to a desk or another file cabinet in the set. You can leave them off if you dont need them.

Yes. The cabinets are pre-drilled and come with hardware and instructions to allow them to be stacked. There is also a wall fastener for the top cabinet so that it cannot tip forward in case you need it. If you do not wish to stack the cabinets, there are plastic fillers for the pre-drilled holes so that the holes cannot be noticed.

Our walls are lathe and plaster so we had to use counter sunk screws. It was absolutely necessary to align the screws perfectly in line with the holes in the back of the cabinet. We did not screw the bottoms and so far have had no problems (approx. 5-6 mos)

Yea they can. Been using the unit a lot and I foresee no issue with using it with out the shelves. They are just there for a convenience factor.

Note: you should consider whether you really want to hang this or use the wall mount version. Cabinets aren't always adequately reinforced /rigid for bearing the load this could apply. For sub-cabinet mounting you might prefer to use long bolts rather than the supplied hardware: you only need 1/2" above the wood bars (to clear the hooks' tops for sliding) but using supplied hardware would drop the bars inches lower and that could pointlessly reduce your counter-top access.

No, there are brackets where the shelves are supposed to be placed and no, it wouldn't look right to put additional shelves on because the shelves (because of the brackets) are spaced evenly. I have three 3 shelved units with a top shelf and it looks great. They are very sturdy and are perfectly matched. I do think they are over priced though.

I understand what you are asking. I have the same question, do you have to countersink the PULL (not the screw head) to get these flush to the cabinet/drawer face? I don't want to put huge holes in my cabinet fronts by countersinking a cup pull and the pulls we just received, require the countersinking. ugh! Some cup pulls have "feet/ screw recepticals" that protrude 1/4" so the pull is not sitting flush unless the feet get countersunk. Can someone tell us if these pulls are flush mount without countersinking the PULL cup.

We use these on both the kitchen cabinet doors and the bathroom vanity drawers. They work well for us. Just don't do like me and toss the key in the drawer with whatever you're putting in it (thank goodness for a second key). ;-)

No, you would have to squish them. The cabinets are more like medicine cabinets, so they are smaller than what has been pictured.

You don't countersink the screws as the holes will lay against the surface. However, these ship with a template that you can transfer on to the surface and it MUST be routed out at a depth of 1/4".
