FAQs

What is the maximum door height the jig can accommodate?

The jig is designed to accommodate standard door heights of 1981mm and 2040mm. The modular rails can also be configured for custom smaller doors.

Can this jig be used for door frames as well as doors?

Yes, the jig is designed for recessing hinges in both timber doors and frames, offering versatility for different installation scenarios.

What router guide bush size is recommended?

The jig is supplied with a 16mm guide bush. Ensure your router is compatible with this size or has an adapter available.

Does the jig come with a router?

No, the router and router bits are sold separately. The jig is an accessory designed to work with a compatible router.

How do I adjust the hinge leaf width settings?

The jig features adjustable edge guides that can be set to preset widths (19mm, 26mm, 30mm) or custom widths between 12.7mm and 35mm. Loosen the relevant guide, set your desired width, and re-tighten.

Can the aluminium rails be shortened if needed?

Yes, the modular aluminium rails can be shortened or extended to precisely suit smaller or oversized doors and non-standard installations.

What types of hinges can be recessed?

The jig can recess both square-edged hinges and hinges with a 10mm radius, covering the most common types used in timber doors and frames.

Troubleshooting

Router does not sit snugly in the jig.

Ensure the correct guide bush is fitted to your router. Check that the jig's aperture blocks are clean and free from debris.

Inconsistent hinge recess depth.

Verify that the router is set to the correct depth setting and that the jig is firmly secured to the workpiece. Ensure the router is running smoothly within the jig's guides.

Jig feels unstable during operation.

Confirm that the jig is properly secured to the door or frame using the bradawl or screw fixing options. Ensure the work area is level.

Hinge recesses are not square.

Double-check that the jig itself is aligned perfectly square to the edge of the door or frame before starting the routing process. Ensure all locking mechanisms on the jig are tightened.
