| Drawer fronts come in two types – solid and applied. Solid
drawer fronts are an integral part of the drawer. Applied
fronts are screwed to the front of a pre-made drawer box.
To replace solid fronts, you'll saw off overlapping edges
and screw the new front to the face of the old. For
applied fronts, unscrew the old fronts to remove them,
then attach the new ones. |

Use a handsaw to cut off all overhanging edges of existing
solid drawer fronts. Clamp the drawer to a solid work
surface to make this job easier. If the drawer fronts are
two-piece, simply remove the screws and discard the
decorative face panel. |

Attach the new fronts by drilling pilot holes and driving
screws through the inside of the drawers into the new
fronts. Make sure the drawer fronts overlap the drawers by
an equal margin on all sides. |

 You can
attach false drawer fronts on sink and cooktop cabinets by
cutting wood blocks that span the drawer openings. Place
the blocks across the openings on the inside of the
cabinets, then drive screws through the wood blocks into
the false drawer fronts. |
