Whether you're a weekend DIYer replacing interior doors or a carpenter fitting dozens of hinges on a job site, misaligned mortises cost time and money. This door hinge installation kit gives you a repeatable, router-guided system that locks in the correct position every time — no guesswork, no freehand routing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit centers on a heavy-duty red (or blue) anodized aluminum jig body with built-in depth gauge markings. It ships with three accessories: a straight router bit for cutting clean hinge mortises, a self-centering hinge bit for drilling perfectly centered pilot holes, and a double-ended driver bit for driving screws into the door. The jig body measures approximately 22 × 8 × 5 cm and weighs 0.76 kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse it to mortise interior passage doors, exterior entry doors, cabinet doors, and furniture lids.
