What happens here

Before spraying, remove all cabinet doors and drawer fronts. To facilitate hanging, drill pilot holes into the top or bottom edges of each door, selecting an area that will not be visible once the door is reinstalled. Use a 3/32-inch drill bit for these holes. Screw 1-inch cup hooks into these pilot holes, ensuring they are securely fastened. These hooks will be used to hang the doors on the spray racks. For hanging the doors during spraying, wooden hangers with swiveling hooks are utilized, hooking onto the previously installed cup hooks.

Goal: Equip all cabinet doors and drawer fronts with hanging hardware for spraying.

We're using 1 in cut hooks right here to screw into the top portion of the door where you can't see it. We're using a 3/32 drill bit. Actually drill the pilot holes to screw a box into. And when we're all done, we'll unscrew them and we'll just cut up those holes in the end when we're all done.
