I have bought them at Home Expo (a part of Home Deport) in the cabinet hardware department.

Sommerfeld Tools (http://www.sommerfeldtools.com/) has a nice one that will handle a variety of door hardware.
That's a nice jig Donald, but it ain't the one I'm looking for. Thanks for your effort.

Those green plastic jigs are almost worthless. There are numerous holes in it and I've never found that they fit any handles I've used. You have to drill your own holes in the jig and then tape or mark them so you won't use one of the wrong holes by mistake. The last thing you want to do is drill a wrong hole in your cabinets. You would be wise to make your own jig, specific to the width of your cabinet stiles and handles. I do a lot of kitchens, those green plastic jigs are a heartbreak waiting to happen.
Beat it to fit / Paint it to match
I am pretty sure I have one (if I didn't throw it away), e-mail me directly with your address and if I find it I will mail it to youon Monday, no charge.

Woodcraft has them. Rockler has them.
You could make a better one from scraps in the shop. The whole point of woodworking is to make your own stuff. I can't help but laugh at the ads for push stick, throat plates and such silly gimmics being pushed on folks. Getting a book on jig making is a better use of money. See Sandor's new book on Taunton Press. It'll save you hundreds of dollars on stuff you don't need to buy.
