Install a hinge on a new door and its door frame. Will you need a template to help you make a hinge space in correct size and nicely. Hinge Template is one of the tool to help you out of this problem other than you use a chisel to make hinge space unless you’re a pro-wood worker. For me after detaily study how to use of it and repeat how to set up this tool getting more familiar with its. Take a little time to study and practice before you going to use it I kindly recommend of it. After used to it, now you can make a nice hinge space like a PRO. As good as its description.

This is the 3rd or 4th template that I’ve purchased over the last 20 plus years. I hope that Porter Cable never stops making them.

Template was basically good, it needed one more “set” of nail attachments slightly to the right of the existing 6 b holes.

Worked great, used wood screws to hold onto door instead of the nails provided. Those would be time consuming and cumbersome.

If you’re planning on using it for commercial work (ie doing doors daily) it’s not that kind of construction, but for the occasional door install don’t even waste your time on chisels. This does a much nicer and easier job. Excellent value, even comes with the router bit!

Makes cutting hinges a breeze. Read the directions carefully. Once set up for the size you need, the rest is a piece of cake. I would make recommend that you do not remove the nails provided (they hold the gig in place) with a claw hammer a pictured. They will bend. Just pull them with pliers.

worked well for me

The gauge for a 1 3/8″ door doesn’t allow the router to get as close to the stop side of the door as a prehung door hinge does. Some adjustment of the hinges is necessary to keep the door from rubbing the stop. If you use the template on both the door and jamb, it will work fine.

Easy to use and safe

works good on hinges ,bits that come with it are poor quality, nails get lost easy and are not available for sale anywhere .

I purchased this hinge template a number of years ago (at least 8 years, likely more), and during the time that has passed, I’ve replaced all of the doors in my house with 6-panel doors as well as helped neighbors do the same. In my own house, I’ve cut over 60 hinge pockets (and with helping neighbors, somewhere between 75 and 100), and I’m still on the original template AND router bit. Only recently has the router bit started to show signs of losing an edge — likely a result of a number of hinge pockets I cut into oak. This template makes short work of cutting accurate hinge pockets repeatedly. This has exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend — and would buy again in an instant.

Worked great after I figures out how to change from left to right handed hinges. Instructions are lacking. However the template worked great. Much bette than cutting fee hand. Well worth the price

Template is easy to use. No guess work. router glides over template and cuts perfect hinge pockets.
Gerardo Hand (verified owner) –
I don’t know how I would have hung 12 interior doors if I didn’t have the template. It is very sturdy and easy to use.
