Stupid 44" HF Tool Cabinet Question

[mf44]

OK, just got the cabinet, after reading all the recs on this board. Love it, BUT the box is missing any instruction sheet. So...how do I put the side handle on? I'm guessing I need to get the drawers out, can someone tell me how to do that? Yea, I know, it's a dumb question...

Thanks in advance.

No need to remove the drawers. Thread the included screws through the handle into the holes on the cabinet. There are threaded nuts on the backside of the sheetmetal that the screws thread into.

No need to remove the drawers. the hardware should be in one of the drawers and the handle just screws on with 2 provided screws.

The handle is three parts, two end and a center bar and includes two bolts.

the cabinet has four holes, two are threaded and two are for the alignment pins located on the handle ends. the bolts fit thru the handle end pieces and thread into the cabinet. I believe they are 5mm hex heads

Ha ha I thought I double posted since we have the same first sentence

Wow, that's way easier than I expected. Why didn't I just check to see if there were threads in there??

Thanks for the help!

mf44,

blasto9000 just asked what size the threads are in another thread. i think they are M6 1.0 pitch. can you verify that for us/him?

I can check this weekend (not near the cabinet at the moment). Will report back.

If no answers are forthcoming I'll post my findings, but that may be some time... this weekend's ******* with Father's Day!
