How should I install my cabinet latches?

Installing Cabinet Latches

Proper installation of cabinet latch ensures its effectiveness. Take a few extra moments to measure out the space where the latch base and latch will be mounted.

Usually, this measures about half-an-inch to an inch from the edge of the cabinet. When the cabinet is opened, the latch should prevent the cabinet door from moving past 1.5 inches.
