The above picture is veiwing the side edge of the drawer if the sides were missing .the round eye is where the handles would go threw . To get a tighter instlation read fine tuneing note also look at 4th picture above here from the left . The angle should actually be a little more angeled out .This is an old drawing and from much experiance the short tips should be kicked out about an 1/8" from what you see in drawing 4 above . That will make for a good tight inst.
SOME OF THE ABOVE INFO IS OUT DATED REGARDING THE OLD STRAP SIZE NUMBER SYSTEM
IF YOU ARE ORDERING STRAPS WITH YOUR HANDLES NO MORE INFO IS NEEDED BY ME .
IF YOU ARE ORDERING STRAPS FOR EXISTING HANDLES A GOOD WAY TO DESCRIBE THE SIZE
WOULD BE TO SELECT A DRILL BIT THAT IS THE DIAMETER YOU WANT. THEN JUST LET ME KNOW HOW WIDE YOU WANT THE EYE TO BE .AS FAR AS COLORS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE WOULD BE BLUED THAT LOOKS BLACK GRAY OR BROWN RUST OR FERRIC BROWN OR BRIGHT BURNISHED .TRADITION WOULD BE BLUED BLACK.



THE 608 NOTE IS TO EXPLAIN THE REASONS WHY THE STRAPS ARE NOT TO BE MIXED UP .SINCE SOME OF THE  HANDLES WERE ORIGINALLY HAND FORGED THE AXELS ARE NOT PERFECTLY CENTERED . SO ON THOSE ONES THE BACKPLATES HAVE BEEN CUSTOM SLOTTED OFF CENTER TO CENTER THE HANDLE .SO MIXING THE SETUPS FROM THE FACTORY WOULD OR COULD MAKE THE HANDLE BE OFF CENTER AND LOOK BAD .
