New kitchen cabinet pulls are too loose how can I tighten them up?
May 23rd, 2008 | by admin |Jasmyn asked:
I bought new pulls for my old kitchen cabinet doors. The machine screws don’t screw in all the way into the new pulls, because the cabinet doors are not thick enough.

Can I put washers behind the pulls and again behind the back of the cabinet door to tighten up the loose pulls and make up for the thin cabinet door? I need to make up about 1/8 of an inch difference.
Thanks from a damsel in distress.
