I finally got my drawer fronts to line up perfectly after a tip from a guy in Boise

He told me to clamp a straightedge across the cabinet face frame before attaching the drawer slides, which solved my 1/8 inch alignment issue I'd been fighting for months. Anyone have a different method for keeping everything flush on a frameless build?

Read about using a story stick for frameless cabinets. You mark all your hinge and slide spots on one board, then use that to transfer the layout. Seems like it would avoid the measuring debate @val949 mentioned.

Used to think you just had to measure everything twice. That clamping trick is honestly the real fix for getting things perfectly straight.

Clamping is just a band-aid for bad measuring. If your numbers are off, no amount of pressure will fix it.
