Jig Template for Kitchen, Bedroom, Bathroom Cabinet Hinges and Mounting Plates

Great jig used many times

Easy to use

This cabinet hinge template is clear and easy to see through, which helps with positioning and marking out hinge and mounting plate locations. It can be useful for basic cabinet installations and repeat jobs where consistency is needed. However, it feels fairly lightweight and a bit limited in flexibility. Accuracy depends heavily on careful handling, and it may not suit more demanding or professional work. Overall, a helpful guide for occasional DIY use, but fairly basic.

Exactly as described and delivery on time

Handy little jig for concealed hinges also handy for transferring a line around the wood you are marking

So with this the holes are always going to be roughly in the right place. It avoids getting them miles out and it’s quick and super simple (dare I say fool proof?) to use But the holes you mark through are quite large so there is potential to have a difference of a mm or maybe 2 between positions. You could overcome this by checking with a combination square or something (which kind of defeats the object) or making sure the pencil or marker you use fits just inside the hole (so it’s central) I didn’t do either and ended up with some slightly wonky hinges. There is enough play in the hinges to counter act this but I really hoped this tool would eliminate that problem So overall - it’s cheap and simple to use but isn’t super precise

Does exactly what it should and reasonably priced

I wanted a simple, inexpensive jig to ensure correct, consistent and square measurements fitting four concealed hinges in a newly made cupboard door. This was just what I was looking for and worked well on the whole. Unresolved uncertainty about the cup part edge dimensions that the vendor was unable to answer. The jig is designed for a 4mm gap to the edge of the door whereas many fitting guides suggest a 5mm gap. Didn’t make any difference in my case, though. The jig enabled me to accurately and consistently mark the holes for the four hinge pieces inside the cabinet and also to locate the centre point to drill out the cup in the door. What is lacking, surprisingly, are two holes to mark where the two holes should be to secure the cup? Why the jig isn’t designed to include these critical marks is a mystery and is certainly a negative for an otherwise positive product.
