Phenolic Hinge Jig for Standard & Fire Doors
This two part hinge jig is designed to allow one set up for both door and frame meaning there is no need to adjust the jig when working on multiple doors. The jig is supplied in two parts for ease of storage and securely fits together with a keyhole slot fitting and screw. It is engineered from solid grade, high-performance premium phenolic known for its exceptional strength, stability and warp resistance – as well as being totally water and liquid resistant. Budget jigs made from laminated composite can warp and lose stability due to moisture absorption and temperature change leading to inaccurate cuts. The extremely durable, anti-friction phenolic allows your router to glide smoothly through the cut without snagging. Inferior jigs made from less durable composite material can wear over time leading to imperfections in the surface and inaccurate cuts.
The jig is suitable for routing recesses for fitting hinges on all doors, and for a standard 2m door the hinges would sit 150mm from the top, in the middle and then 225mm from the bottom of the door. If the jig is being used on fire doors, then there is an additional fourth hinge aperture that sits 355mm below the first hinge. The adjustable sliding plate enables use with hinges 50mm-127mm long and 6.5mm-35mm wide. The jig is lightweight whilst maintaining exceptional strength and warp resistance meaning it is accurate, reliable and easy to use, with a very quick set up time. Unlike alternatives this premium hinge jig has a 3mm end stop that accounts for the gap between door and frame meaning once set up for the door it can be transferred to the frame without any need for further adjustment – maximizing speed and efficiency of the job. .
Precision CNC machine cut with +/- 0.02mm accuracy it will ensure you achieve precise cuts and measurements every time. Laser-engraved labels and markings make measuring and setting up especially easy and all that is needed to secure the jig to a door are 2 bradawls which leave minimal marking once removed. The engravings are cut into the phenolic surface meaning they will not wear under constant friction from the router – providing long lasting clarity. A comprehensive user manual is also included. To use this jig you will need a 1/2″ hand router, 12mm straight router bit, 16mm guide bush, bradawls and a Philips screwdriver. .
