I had one years ago but lost most of the parts. It worked great for larger base routers back then.

The template is easy to set-up and use; is lightweight, and still rugged enough to be used many times without problems. Great product.

Not made of metal. Slightly delicate pegs and nails. Poor quality router bit dulled after hanging just two doors.Relatively easy to use for its intended need.

Worked best with a full sized router. Plate on pluge router was to small

Very simple and accurate. You will probably eventually want to buy a carbide bit if you use it a lot.Works great for all size and shaped hinges.

Worked well but the router bit was junk and burned trying to cut 3 hinges on jamb. Recommend buying a decent router bit

For doing just a few hinge mortises, this jig bis the cat’ s meow. Easy to set up and easy to use. All I had to do was measure correctly.

The template performed well, although I had some issues attaching in in the application. The bit provided was next to useless. I did buy a separate bit from a different manufacturer, and it work much better. Due to the material the template is made from, there was a little too much flex to it.

Professional reults. Requires attention to detail, while setting for multiple hinge locations and mortise depth. Excellent for small scale projects, would get very tiresome for multiple door prep.

Very easy and flexible product to use with good, clear instructions. Once I got used to working with it, I went from around 10 minutes per door down to around 2.

This is an easy product to use IF you read the instructions. LOL I used an older version for 15 years. I like the the setting pegs on this newest version. You don’t have to eyeball the door thickness anymore.

This is by far the best hinge template I’ve found and I’ve bought and tried several different ones-they all were returned-either too complicated-like the ones with 20-30 parts or too flimsy. This one is very simple to use and to adjust and has 5 parts including the 2 double headed nails. Excellent!
