long DIY hinge jig perfect for new and existing linings, made from scrap material

[@ruionwriting]

Work smarter not harder. Amazing work and inspiration Robin.

[@rob1984p]

As an amateur wood butcher I am in disbelief at how slick this is! So impressed.

[@stevevenus1]

It's great. I would also use the story stick you made with the jig to mark the hinge positions on the door rather than off up the door to the frame.

[@MrFatdaz]

Robin is such a top drawer tradesman,

[@mistermikeanson]

Your mdf jig saved me a lot of time when fitting 8 doors in my son's house! I then made another jig for drilling out the latch and handle holes - so much easier than measuring on each individual door!

[@ukconstruction]

That is awesome!

[@johnfithian-franks8276]

Hi Robin, I don’t want to come over as a know it all, there is a lot of things I don’t know and a lot of things that I have discovered from watching your videos, but hinge placement with a router is so easy that I thought everyone would know that and make a throw away jig every time they were hanging a door. Having an aluminium one would stop me from throwing it away and it is pretty.

[@badboybubby69]

I used to test different jigs for a company one was a hinge jig made from laminate, had peg holes in for different size hinges and attached to door frame using awls. Great little bit of kit it was. Sold loads to joiners doing hotels apartments etc

[@deankirk1008]

When will the metal jig be available to buy from your website Robin, please?

[@tony78652]

Robin. I have successfully been using your MDF hinge jigs for a couple of years now, they are great. When can we expect the ali jigs? Tony

[@jamesthebuilder3141]

Hi Robin quick question if you didnt have re finished door could you use the scrap jig to do the hinges on the door ? cheers

[@robertgray8752]

Great stuff. 👍. Hope the youngsters still enjoying it. 😉

Work of art

[@kevinhiggins373]

What a time saver that is !

[@petergriffin1546]

great video...lets see it with a frame and stops.

[@garranstvall1442]

Hi Robin are the aluminium 76mm jigs available to buy? 👍🏾

[@shaneshanahan4389]

Now an aluminium jig I would happily buy… your mdf ones look great but I know for a fact one of my daft labourers would chuck it in the skip clearing up 😂

[@leeb5009]

Another useful video 👍What hinges are you fitting on these doors, please?

[@deanthorntonrandalls2382]

Hi robin great video as always when can we get the aluminium version

[@doctorlove2022]

hi robin . why dont u just use a trend hinge jig ??? its doses exactly the same thing all read made and ready to use

[@ukconstruction]

There is lots of reasons, and I also have one... but there are many times where you have to match existing cut outs and setting up the Trend takes to much time, you have to use a specific cutter and guide bush etc and it's about 6 x the price of my simple hinge jig, it also requires you to make three hole in the door or frame with its bradawls etc and for a pre finished walnut door for example this is counter productive..

[@paulcloona9331]

Very good idea. Make life easier to hang doors

[@sixpak62]

Morning Robin are alloy jigs for sale as yet ? Thanks keep up the good work.

[@sixpak62]

Sorry Robin just watch your video again and it’s not yet in production

[@mikehunt4375]

Fitted 18 XL oak veneered doors into existing linings using your jig saved loads of time, however XL using nails in door construction destroyed a TS55 blade.

[@ukconstruction]

Thanks for the comment and also supporting me buying a hinge jig!! most new doors from all manufacturers use some metal staples in the internal construction of their doors normally these are positioned so you will not catch them if you are only trimming their recommended amount from the edges etc pretty hard when you are making new doors fit old linings I usually keep a couple of cheaper blades and use these in a few passes when I have to cut out side of the manufacturers recommended amounts.

[@ashchippy]

Your the man robin, good job mate 👍

[@davidmoseley6896]

Great video for time saving would I have been best to use the long jig save setting up 3 times over just once per door

[@JW_Home_Improvements]

Where can I purchase the stainless one? I can only see the mdf one on the website.

[@neiledwards4780]

Another great video. I’ll echo other comments when can we expect the metal version please? 👍🏻

[@gregorymacneil2836]

Why didn't you make a story pole for the doors since all the hinges are equal on the jambs? Great video. You could had just reused the story pole you had for the jambs only set a stop to allow for the drop at the transom could you not have. I like your metal jig.

[@denty32]

Just add a 2 mm packer at the top of the original storey pole when he fixes it to the liner.

[@TheSaintemplar64]

@@denty32 Yep, Chippies know all this stuff tbh. the only problem with an adjustable storey rod, it is only reading the corner of the frame which isn't 100 percent true and can give a false set. I used to work with a chippy years ago, we called him Jigs and Fixtures and made jigs for everything including this. What crossed my mind, was why he didn't just chop all the door hinges in and offer them up to the frame. But yes, i have done that with 2mm 3mm packer

[@aledjones8992]

U should sell these to robin to go with ur hinge jigs

[@highflyer-skyfpv6531]

Love the idea of a bearing cutter for the door so the jig cut out is actually the hinge size. Just out of interest why did you remove the corners with the jig in place as a chisel guide on only one hinge ?

[@ukconstruction]

probably because I routed them out and just did the last one!!!

[@simonkenny8656]

Hi.robin I've seen that you've used skeleton hinge jig b4,do you not rate it,as you have made your own and full.hight jigs yourself in your latest video Thanks

[@ukconstruction]

I did always use the skeleton jig, but it takes some time to fiddle with to get right and if you are hanging new doors in old frames and re using the hinge positions etc it can take time to change it around etc, I wanted something that would fit in the router box with the router and be much quicker and simpler and the simple hinge jig that we make and sell did the trick!

[@michaelplays2449]

Great video !!! thanks

[@leeberry9666]

Hi Robin, first of all let me say that your videos are awsome. I couldn't help noticing that you don't use a corner chisel. Any reason.

[@ukconstruction]

I have a couple, and i am making my own to go with my jig too

[@ronnierobinson1502]

How do i get the aluminium one ??? i have the mdf one

[@stepbackandthink]

What are your measurements for where the hinges go on the triple hinge fitting?

[@ukconstruction]

150mm from the top of door to top of the top hinge, 225mm from the bottom of the bottom hinge and I like to centre the middle one to these two positions

[@stepbackandthink]

@@ukconstruction Thanks

[@harrisonkelly9537]

I hope you sell the Ali ones all in pink hopefully no one will steal it 🤞

[@dannyobrien3838]

Hi robin, any idea when these will be ready for sale?

Hi Robin Is there a reason i cant order any of the Aly ones just coming up with the mdf ones on your link

Can you recommend a good Air bag robin?

Also when is the aluminium hinge jig available to buy?

[@ukconstruction]

The wurth ones are great, every now and then lidl has them and they are about £10 a pair and have a good valve

[@trig]

Do you use stainless steel or mild steel hinges?

[@ukconstruction]

Stainless steel

[@denty32]

I know you sell jigs but I’ve never understood why chippees don’t make their own, takes 10 minutes

Most of the good ones do

Chippies don't but cabinet makers and joiners do 😃

I just saw your video!! OMG!! That is beyond terrible - was his name Reg Prescott?! (Kenny Everett character if you're too young!)

[@therealdojj]

@@mistermikeanson I asked him if he could do dinner work for me as he was the guy doing an entire house refit, thinking that if he had a dozen blokes fixing a house, extension, loft, etc that he would send a decent chap to fit the door My Mrs chased him out the house when she saw the state of the door, I would have loved to have seen that 🤣 Got our regular guy coming back next week to fix it, should have waited for him but he always busy, I know why 🤷
