Description
This is the 76mm hinge jig suitable for the most commonly used internal door hinges in the UK
The hinges are available from all ironmongery suppliers large and small
The hinge needs no skill to set up simply mark your hinge position clamp over the mark exactly and using a flush template cutter and small router remove the material
Finish with a chisel or corner chisel
If you are doing several doors, make a simple storey stick or rod to mark your hinge positions in the location you prefer and then use this device to mark all doors and frames
The jig has been designed to work on standard door linings prior to stops and architraves being fitted (in the case of new builds etc)
Notes to users
Many of the hinges will have a slight variation in their manufactured dimensions we have made our Jig to suit an average of these hinges, therefore the exact fit of the recess created when routed should allow for these small differences. From our development and research we discovered that even hinges from the same packet differed.
Suggestion
You can make fine adjustments to the jig by simply using a block and sandpaper to remove a small amount from the side of the jig if you find your particular choice of hinge is tight.
