TREND9ft AnyDoor Butt Hinge Template Kit, Quickly and Accurately Recess Square and Radius Hinges in Timber Doors & Frames, H/JIG/D9

Awesome jig! Once you learn how to set it up and use its a breeze!! Very happy with the sturdy build qnd usability

I bought this jig to hang twelve 6’8” doors. I used the jig with my DeWalt ¼” router to fit 5/8” corner hinges and the results are perfect.The hinges all line up perfectly (between the door and the jamb), and the accuracy of the leaf recesses are much better than I have achieved in the past with a chisel. When you understand how the jig works, it will save you hours. Once you’ve set it up for a project, there is no need to adjust it.The kit comes with everything you need to start cutting – template guide, ½” diameter bit, corner chisel etc. The bag and pouch feel like good quality. The aluminium rails are nicely made and make the jig super lightweight.Make sure you read the instructions thoroughly, Great investment, would highly recommend.

The directions are horrible, but thankfully, after talking to someone in tech-support overseas, I was able to figure it out. The gentleman was very helpful and even did video chat with me through WhatsApp.If I had any critiquing to do, it would be better directions and better videos of showing how to assemble the jig and a way to be able to hold it up to the top of the jamb And set all the positions on each of the hinges at the same time. It is very difficult to do and is almost a two person job. The wheels you turn to tighten the positions are not very user-friendly. I saw a video on their website that shows an area for an Allen Key to be able to be used as leverage but unfortunately, the one I bought does not contain that so it is very difficult to spin and tighten/loosen. If you don’t hold the metal bar at the top tight while you’re adjusting everything to sit on these little nubs, it would be very easy to mess it up and route it wrong.

We do a lot of slab replacement into existing frames. This jig is one of the nicer we have found. Very easy to use once set up is made. Like anything else it may take some fiddling to get things dialed in but once there it is very efficient. The one change I made though was to take the round aluminum spacers (that go up again the jamb) to a machine shop & had them milled down to 3/16" thick from the 1/4" thick. At least where we are, the casing reveal is not always 1/4" & this gives more flexibility

We are pleased with the template it is everything we expected.

Best jig ever for slab replacements, the way you can adjust the hinges to any position is the main reason why this jig is superior to others, it does take a while to set it up but once is set you're good to go
