Milescraft 1229 Hinge Jig Plus – Dual Clamping Door Hinge Jig Door Hinge Mortiser. Complete Hinge Installation Kit Rout Mortises from 2.5” to 4.5”. Strike and Latch Plates Included for Standard Doors

Great tool for cutting out groves in doors for locks done the job bit expensive but it did come all the way from America great delivery time and good quality item!

It was not complete. I not happy.

Great product for DIY homeowner. Adjustable to accomodate multiple common hinge sizes. Rubber clamps hold jig tightly in place without having to damage object with nails, although jig does have nail holes to allow for better stability during use. Can be used on jamb uprights only if door stops are not installed or present. Jig also has patterns for a couple of common door striker and latch plate. Excellent hard plastic, not very flexible at all (if you don't really crank down hard on the screw clamps). I also found a way to use this jig to countersunk rectangle for a non-standard sized vintage latch plate, by routing out most of it and then moving the jig to finish the size I need. Very handy jig! It comes with a router bit equipped with a standoff bearing. Be careful lowering or raising the router in and out of the jig while it is running as you can catch the router blade in the plastic walls of the jig and damage them. I searched a while before I decided to purchase a hinge mount jig, and I am very glad I chose this one.

Práctica, facilita el trabajo

Thrilled to have this. You've gotta be a bit careful with the router doing the initial plunge but this is definitely a better alternative to screwing templates into your door.

I was pleasantly surprised at how well this worked. The hinges were slightly set back from what I've seen before but not an issue. The depth setting was a little off so you had to do a couple of test runs on an old board first to make sure that you're hinge depth was correct

Works as shown and works well. Easy to use and set up.
