Will not help with pulls that extend beyond posts

I've installed many pulls on cabinets that don't have holes already and it can be time consuming and frustrating if you're measuring them all instead of using a template. I'm in that situation again and thought this would be a cheap way to speed things up. Our pulls are 3" on center but total length is 5 1/2 (overhang on each end)". The template has the pulls being installed too low on the cabinet door, almost to the point where the overhang from the lower post is to the bottom of the door. The placement isn't right, so I'll be measuring again - this thing was a waste. It would work great if there were no overhang, so it might work for some.
