Never heard of Home Dept, I said Home Depot. And I wasn't the original poster. I'm guessing he included that linked b/c they had the pretty pictures for $43 and mentioned Home Depot b/c they had the better price.

Do It Best is a warehouse style supplier to small business hardware stores. You pony up some cash and you get to use their name and get to stock their items at a cost comprable to Home Depot/Lowe's/ etc...

Just hold the drill steady with your hand. It is really not that difficult. The important part is to start in the correct location. Use a nail or center punch to mark the center of each button, before you drill and you should be fine
The buttons are smaller than the 1 1/8" hole, so even if you are off center a little, you can adjust the button spacing before you tighten them down.
Try it on a scrap piece of wood to see how easy it is.

LOL, yes I meant Home Depot. I get all of my office supplies off contract with Office Depot so it just slipped out. Force of habit.
And yes, posted the link for the picture, but Home Depot would be both cheaper and likely more convenient if you have one nearby.
