Make Cabinet Hinge Positioning Less Awkward.

Four practical details in a foldable magnetic jig

Lining up a cabinet door takes a steady setup. The Foldable Magnetic Hinge Jig combines magnetic hinge contact, marking guides and a fixed-gap reference to help you organize the positioning work.

Designed for compatible 35 mm cup hinges, it folds down when the job is done. Here is how it can fit into your cabinet-installation toolkit.

Positioning magnetic hinge jigs beside cabinet door hinges

1. Keep a Reference Point While You Position the Door

Holding a cabinet door in position while lining up the hinges can be awkward. This jig gives you a positioning reference alongside compatible hinges as you prepare the installation.

The magnetic contacts help hold compatible metal hinge parts against the jig. Support the door while positioning and fastening it.

2. Mark Compatible 35 mm Hinge Positions

The marking guides are designed around standard 35 mm hinge cups. Place the jig against the panel edge and use the guide openings to mark the required positions.

It is a positioning and marking aid. Drilling still requires a separate drill and suitable bit; check the layout against your hinge specifications before drilling.

3. Use a Consistent Gap Reference

The fixed-gap design provides a 2.6 mm reference during compatible cabinet-door installations. The extended support is intended for straight-arm and half-crank hinges.

Check that the hinge style and required door clearance match the jig before starting your project.

4. Fold It Away Between Jobs

The support legs fold down against the ABS body when the jig is not in use. Keep it in your toolbox or tool bag, ready for your next cabinet project.

Choose a 1-pack or 2-pack according to your setup. Hinges, screws, drill and drill bits are not included.
