Prepare your doors seamlessly with the three provided bits designed for critical installation steps: cut exact mortises with the bearing-guided router bit, drill clean pilot holes with the self-centering hinge bit, and drive mounting screws securely with the double-ended driver bit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to carve out square hinge corners manually?
Yes. Because routers cut in circles, square hinge installations require a manual chisel to clean out the 90-degree corners after routing out the main pocket.
Does this template kit damage the wooden door surface when clamped?
No. The clamping knobs are equipped with flat, protective metal pads. They distribute clamping pressure evenly, ensuring a robust grip without leaving marks or damaging your wood door face.
What tools do I need to prepare to use this template?
You will need an electric trimmer or wood router (not included) to cut out the mortise pockets using the template, and a hand drill to use the included pilot drilling and driving bits.
