The Jigs are used to drill holes in the correct location. Be careful when drilling. Make sure the Jig is fully seated, drill slowly, make sure the piece is secure, and use oil. The upper and top support holes are drilled with an 1/8 drill bit and support 3mm bolts. The lower supports holes are drilled with a 1/4 drill and support 1/4 bolts. There are two types of lower brackets. 4 L-shaped brackets should be used if you're not adding a door. The strait brackets are used with a door and hold magnets.
