attaching false front clips

Question

I'm going to use 4 clip assemblies on each of my false fronts. I've never done this before, and would like to hear any suggestions you may have to make this job easier. Which part is best to attach first, the part for the panel or the one that goes in the opening? Any tips for perfect alignment, or is it just a matter of measuring accurately and using your ruler to mark placement? Thanks!

I would suggest installing the part with the post on the cabinet, then measure it as accurately as you can, like you mentioned to mount the open clip part to the false front. Take note that these clips are not easy to come apart once installed in place, and likely won't separate without breaking either side.
