door pull

Getting ready to put new door pulls on my new door panels. So before I make a mistake do I drill the holes straight or do I go in on an angel. I don't want to ruin them. Thanks

Hi tg,
The pulls have a top and bottom.
Make sure you have it the right way. Then insert a screw in each end and check to see at what angle the screw is, and then drill the holes accordingly.
Regards,
Alan

If you're putting in new door panels the holes probably won't be there.

It's enough to drive a man mad! And good luck finding something like that door pull screw at a hardware store...

I believe that the holes for the 'pull' screws is drilled at an angle. Insert them in the original door panels to get a good idea of the angle[s] needed.
