Door Hinge Jig, Door Hinge Mortiser, Router Template Fits for Door Hinges from 3” to 5” Length and Types of Square, Radius 1/4” or Radius 5/8”.

This was surprisingly inexpensive for what has turned out to be an excellent piece of kit. It works just as it should, and is accurate and easy to work with. Even the router bit is included, and stores on the template itself. I’ve since hung lots of doors using this template and I’m very happy with the purchase.

while remodeling a house, i needed to mortise 6 interior doors. i was thinking about using a chisel or free-handing it with a laminate trimmer. i saw this jig on amazon and figured it would be worth the price to get it and ensure the 6 doors were done right. glad i did...thius jig is very easy to use and even came with the router bit and self centering drill bit. i usually set the hinge in the mortise and eyeball the drillbit in the center of the screw hole. most times the hole is off a bit and when all 3 holes are all off in different directions, the hinge install can end up with screw heads not sinking properly and sticking up or being angled. this jig did an excellent job of making the mortise and the included centering bit made the holes perfectly in the center of the hing screw holes. definitely worth the money

This is nice and works pretty well, but... The small plastic piece that defines the width of the hinge does not stay in place. It kept lifting up and messed up the routing that I was doing. It kept leaving a high point that I had to fix. The concept is good, but the execution is not great.

Good sturdy material. Makes door installation easy and looks nice. Comes with router bit and centering drill bit adapter. Same material and design as the RYOBI Door Hinge Template, at a way better price. Wish this brand had the router latch mortiser.

Second one I bought for an additional back up kit, this works great for routing hinges perfectly. Alignment is flawless. Fits great.

This hinge routing kit was a bit of a disappointment, but it was helpful in recutting the mortise to install new, thicker hinges on a door. In my case I was rehanging a heavy wood door 1.75" thick with 4x4" hinges with 1/4" radius. The router bit that comes with the kit naturally makes a cut with that radius. The depth adjustment suggested that one use the shallower setting for a 4" hinge but my heavy duty hinges needed that extra depth of cut. The plastic body of this jig did not clamp onto the door very well. It would tend to splay out and one side would come up so the jig was not laying flat on the edge of the door. One needs to watch this and take steps if necessary to correct it as otherwise the depth would be uneven. Being inexperienced at door hanging, I started routing the door as soon as I got the depth setting correct and the template flat to the door. This turned out to be a mistake. The template defined a wider cut than the hinge. In other words, the edge with the rounded corners was cut 1/4" or so past the edge of the hinge. I don't see an adjustment for this, so I am guessing that this template is designed for a thinner door or a different hinge. I will have to patch my door with wood putty, and remind myself in the future to double check everything before cutting.

This door hinge jig is a game changer for anyone installing or replacing doors. This tool ensures precise, clean and consistent hinge recesses every time. Setup is straightforward, and easily adjusts to different hinge sizes. Perfect for professional or DIY homeowner. It is a worthwhile investment for anyone who wants accuracy and efficiency in door fitting

Works great first time no guessing
