I bought new pulls for my old kitchen cabinet doors. The machine screws don’t screw in all the way into the new pulls, because the cabinet doors are not thick enough.
Can I put washers behind the pulls and again behind the back of the cabinet door to tighten up the loose pulls and make up for the thin cabinet door? I need to make up about 1/8 of an inch difference.
Thanks from a damsel in distress.

I think yoy answered your own question….Good job
Sure you can use washers. If you go to the hardware store to buy washers why don’t you buy shorter screws instead?
Just buy shorter screws, they are 8/32 thread and come in different lenths.
You have two options 1use washers as you think or2 cut about 5mm off the bolts
