## Description

The HingeJigPLUS™, by Milescraft, is a one-stop solution for door installation work. The jig routs and installs door and jamb / frame hinges, latches, and strike plate mortises quickly and accurately. The included bonus PinDoctor™ even assists in removing your old door. The dual-clamping design of the HingeJigPLUS™ mounts quickly and holds firm to ensure cuts are clean and accurate. No need for screws or nails which can damage your door. Rout perfect hinge mortises in 2.5”, 3”, 3.5”, 4” and 4.5” sizing on both a door, or the frame! For Doors – Set appropriate backset plug setting and insert the adjustable spacer into the correct sizing slot facing the DOOR cavity, clamp, and route. On Frames, the HingeJigPLUS™ is reconfigured to clamp or mount to new or existing jambs and frames using the FRAME cavity. Included offset pins make sure that the spacing stays accurate and the width of the hinge mortise is just right. Built-in depth setting guides to ensure proper routing depth on smaller or larger hinges. The design of the HingeJigPLUS™ also makes it easy to change between ¼” and 5/8” radius mortises. Flip the radius inserts and spacer to the curved side for 5/8” hinges, or the flat side for ¼” hinges. The HingeJigPLUS™ includes drop in templates to rout latch plate and strike mortises. Simply remove the adjustable spacer, set the backset plug to latch, and drop in a template The strike template is used when the jig is in the FRAME position, and uses the index pins to set correct distance.

Review: Does doors and jambs - Great product for DIY homeowner. Adjustable to accomodate multiple common hinge sizes. Rubber clamps hold jig tightly in place without having to damage object with nails, although jig does have nail holes to allow for better stability during use. Can be used on jamb uprights only if door stops are not installed or present. Jig also has patterns for a couple of common door striker and latch plate. Excellent hard plastic, not very flexible at all (if you don't really crank down hard on the screw clamps). I also found a way to use this jig to countersunk rectangle for a non-standard sized vintage latch plate, by routing out most of it and then moving the jig to finish the size I need. Very handy jig! It comes with a router bit equipped with a standoff bearing. Be careful lowering or raising the router in and out of the jig while it is running as you can catch the router blade in the plastic walls of the jig and damage them. I searched a while before I decided to purchase a hinge mount jig, and I am very glad I chose this one.
Review: Actually worked surprisingly well - I was pleasantly surprised at how well this worked. The hinges were slightly set back from what I've seen before but not an issue. The depth setting was a little off so you had to do a couple of test runs on an old board first to make sure that you're hinge depth was correct

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Made easy work of replacing doors and jambs.
*by M***L on May 22, 2025*

I've used it in three so far. Building new jambs for existing doors and new doors for existing jambs.. It works well. The cutouts a a hair bigger than the hinges but it's not a bad thing. I match new to old, draw around the hinges with a sharp pencil and clamp the jig on and go. It's easy to use after you figure out what the pieces are for. There are good instructions.
