Repeatable Hinge Recesses Without Re-Measuring Every Cut
Route Cleaner Hinge Mortises With More Control.
Clamp the aluminum jig to the door edge, select the hinge length and corner profile, set the routing depth and create a guided recess for common residential door hinges.
- 6061 aluminum-alloy body with anodized finish
- Supports hinge lengths from 2½ to 5 inches
- Works with ¼-inch radius, ⅝-inch radius and square corners
- Integrated length and depth references simplify setup
- Includes router bit, self-centering drill bit and screwdriver bit
The Hinge Can Only Sit as Well as the Mortise
Stop Tracing, Measuring and Hoping Both Sides Match.
An uneven recess can leave a hinge proud, too deep or misaligned. The jig creates a physical routing guide on the door edge, helping you repeat the same hinge size and depth with fewer layout steps.
More Measurements
Repeated tracing and marking can introduce small differences from one hinge position to the next.
A Defined Cutting Boundary
The configured template guides the router bit around the selected hinge profile.
Recreate the Same Setup
Marked length and depth references make multiple door-edge mortises easier to reproduce.
Route With a Guide Instead of Guesswork.
Common Hinge Sizes, One Adjustable Guide
Configure It for the Hinge in Front of You.
Set the guide for 2½, 3, 3½, 4, 4½ or 5-inch hinges. Corner options cover ¼-inch radius, ⅝-inch radius and 90-degree square hinges, giving the tool useful range across replacement and new-door projects.
Length and Depth You Can Set
Match the Recess to the Hinge—Not the Other Way Around.
Clearly marked length positions help configure the opening, while the integrated depth reference helps set the router for the hinge-leaf thickness. Test the setup on scrap material or an inconspicuous area before routing the final door.
From Setup to Hinge Installation
A More Organized Five-Step Workflow
Match the Hinge
Confirm its length, corner radius and leaf thickness before adjusting the jig.
Clamp to the Door
Position the jig on the door edge and tighten both knobs evenly.
Set & Test Depth
Configure the router and verify the cut on scrap material before the final pass.
Route the Mortise
Keep the router base flat and make controlled passes inside the guide.
Drill & Fit
Mark screw centers, drill pilot holes and test-fit the hinge before final tightening.
Finish With a Chisel
Use a sharp chisel to square the corners only when the selected hinge requires it.
Secure Clamping for a Steadier Cut
Keep the Template Still While the Router Does the Work.
Large adjustment knobs help secure the jig to the door edge so the guide stays in position during routing. Tighten gradually and evenly—firm enough to prevent movement without crushing or marking the door surface.
Built for Repeated Setup
The Details That Support More Consistent Work
6061 Aluminum Construction
The anodized aluminum body provides a stable guide while helping resist normal workshop wear and corrosion.
Less Separate Measuring
Hinge-length positions and depth references help simplify repeat setup across common sizes.
More of the Workflow Included
The package adds a router bit, self-centering drill bit and screwdriver bit for routing and installation steps.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which hinge lengths does the jig support?
It supports common hinge lengths of 2½, 3, 3½, 4, 4½ and 5 inches.
Can it create square-corner mortises?
It can route the main recess, but a chisel is required to square the rounded corners for a 90-degree square-corner hinge.
Can I use it on the door jamb?
No. The supplied product information specifies door-edge use only, not door-jamb routing.
Does the package include a router?
No router is listed as included. The package includes the jig, router bit, self-centering drill bit and screwdriver bit.
Will the included router bit fit my router?
Compatibility depends on your router’s collet size and base geometry. Confirm both measurements before fitting or operating the tool.
How do I avoid routing too deep?
Measure the hinge-leaf thickness, set the depth conservatively and make a test cut first. Use shallow passes and check the hinge fit before removing more material.
Can it be used on an already finished door?
Potentially, but clamp pressure, chips and routing can damage a finished surface. Protect contact areas, test carefully and follow the door manufacturer’s guidance.
