Precision CNC Aluminum Door Hinge Router Template Set
Stop wasting time with flimsy, easily cracked plastic templates. Outperform expectations with our heavy-duty anodized aluminum routing kit designed to deliver flawless, clean hinge mortises.
Machined CNC 6061 Aluminum Construction
Unlike standard plastic templates that twist, crack under load, or warp over time, this heavy-duty template is crafted from precision CNC-machined 6061 aluminum with an anodized surface treatment.
It achieves 300% greater deformation resistance than plastic competitors, guaranteeing stable and repeatable hinge recess routing for all your home projects.
Adjusts to Most Standard Hinge Sizes
Eliminate the need for multiple fixed templates. Adjust the built-in sliding bar to route clear mortises from 2.5" to 5" in length with absolute precision.
The template features double-sided integrated radius guides to perfectly guide router cuts for 1/4" radius and 5/8" radius hinges. Need square corners? Simply route the main outline and complete the clean edge with a hand corner chisel.
Intuitive, Woodworker-Friendly 6-Step Setup
Designed for both professional contractors and DIYers. Simply clamp the guide onto your door leaf, adjust the slider to match your target hinge length, adjust your router bit depth, and route the clean mortise.
Once routed, use the included self-centering hinge bit to align and drill screw pilots, then drive screws securely using the double-ended screwdriver bit.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. This specialized routing jig is engineered exclusively for use directly on the door leaf (the door panel edge itself) to cut clean, matching hinge slots. It is not compatible with door jamb structures.
Yes. While the built-in rounded routing templates provide paths for 1/4" and 5/8" radius corners, you can use the guide to route the primary body of square hinges, then clean up the remaining rounded corners manually using a wood corner chisel.
No. The dual adjustable clamping screws are tipped with non-marring silicone anti-skid pads. They provide tight, reliable clamping force to hold the template flat against your router plate without leaving scratches, indents, or damage on wood surfaces.
