I have a drawer front that is thinAnd flexible. Only 1/4 of an inch with a 1/2 inch backing. My handle has 2 Machine screws which is fine, but the door is wide and I think screwing from the inside will not work due to the end of the screw being tapered and not holding wellWith the potential blasting through the front. I can think of Several options. What do you think of each?
I should state that these are for shop drawers so as far as how good I wanted to look I would consider this a learning experience, but speed is important. It doesn't have to be perfect
- 18gauge Brad Nailer from front. Negative is that there will be holes that need to be filled with putty and then varnished.
- 18 gauge from back while clampedConcern is that the front will not hold well. I do not know long-term.
- 23gauge Pinner. I think this would be ideal but I don't actually have the size of nail gun. I probably would have gone with this
- screw from the inside. Issue being that the end of the screw tapers with only 1/4 inch or purchase and possible screwing through
- machine screw. Better control of of depth however still a risk
please let me know which ones sound okay and which ones not so much.I am leaning towards #2
