Overview:
The Milescraft HingeJigPLUS is a one-stop door installation solution for finish carpenters, renovators, and pro installers. The jig routs and installs door and jamb hinges, latches, and strike plate mortises quickly and accurately — and the included PinDoctor even helps remove your old door without damage. The padded, dual self-clamping design mounts in seconds and holds firm to ensure clean, consistent cuts, with no mounting screws or nails to mar the work. An adjustable hinge spacer creates five common hinge mortise positions (2-1/2in, 3in, 3-1/2in, 4in, and 4-1/2in), and the included templates handle three latch sizes and two strike plate sizes for full-installation versatility. Built for North American hardware standards, the HingeJigPLUS replaces a drawer of single-purpose templates with one professional-grade jig.
