FAQs

What type of router is required?

A light-duty router with a 1/4 inch collet is required. You will also need a long reach router cutter (12mm diameter, 70mm overall length).

The jig is designed for use with square butt hinges.

What door sizes does the jig accommodate?

The jig accommodates doors with heights from 6 ft 5 in (1955 mm) to 6 ft 10 in (2100 mm) and thicknesses from 5/8 inches (16 mm).

Do I need any special accessories for my router?

A T4EK router may require a UNIBASE or a special guide bush ref. GB/T4/160. Check your router model.

How do I ensure accurate hinge placement?

Use the hinge itself as a guide to position the jig accurately on the door and frame before clamping and routing.

How do I maintain the jig?

Clean the jig after each use, store it in a dry place, and regularly check for damage or wear.

Where can I find replacement parts?

Contact the manufacturer or an authorized dealer for replacement parts.

Troubleshooting

Router cutter not reaching the correct depth.

Adjust the router's depth setting or check the cutter's length.

Hinge recess is not accurate.

Ensure the jig is securely clamped and the router is following the guide correctly. Check that the correct cutter is being used.

Jig is moving during routing.

Tighten the clamps and ensure the jig is flush against the door/frame surface. Check that the angled position slots are preventing creep.

Router is difficult to control.

Ensure the router is switched off before starting and that you have a firm grip. Use appropriate speed settings.
