Product Information
Full details
The GQGP Concealed Hinge Jig is an essential tool for cabinet makers and DIY enthusiasts looking to achieve professional-grade results when installing 35 mm hinges on cabinet doors and closets. Built from durable aluminum alloy, this jig ensures precise hole placement and stable operation through its integrated double-bearing design, making it an excellent upgrade for anyone tired of manual measurement inaccuracies. While it is highly efficient and versatile for common wood thicknesses between 12-25mm, users should note that the fixed 5mm edge distance may require alternative methods if a specific custom offset is required for unique cabinet designs.

FAQs
Does this jig work with all hinge brands?
This jig is designed for standard 35mm concealed hinges, which are the industry standard for most European-style cabinets.
Can I use this on materials thinner than 12mm?
It is not recommended, as the clamp and depth settings are optimized for the 12mm-25mm range.
Is a drill included with the kit?
No, the kit includes the hole saw and drill bits, but you will need to provide your own handheld power drill.
What is the hole-to-edge distance?
The jig provides a fixed 5mm hole-to-edge distance.
How do I maintain the bearings?
Keep the bearing area clean and free of debris. A light spray of dry silicone lubricant can be used if they feel stiff.
Troubleshooting
Hole saw is binding or overheating
Ensure you are using a consistent, moderate drilling speed and clear away wood chips frequently; do not force the drill bit.
Hole is slightly off-center
Double-check that the jig is fully flush against the edge of the wood before tightening the clamp.
Clamp slips during operation
Ensure the clamping pad is clean of sawdust and the adjustment screw is tightened securely against the board surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the jig, ensure the board thickness is between 12mm and 25mm. Adjust the stop collar on your drill bit to match the required depth of your specific hinge cups. Always align the jig's reference marks with the pencil marks on your workpiece before engaging the quick-clamp.
For maintenance, keep the double bearings free of wood dust by using compressed air after each session. Periodically check the set screws on the hole saw and drill bits to ensure they are tight before starting a new job. Store the tool in a dry, cool place to prevent corrosion of the aluminum surfaces.
