Milescraft 1222 Hinge Mate 150 – Door Hinge Installation Kit & Mortiser Template for 3-inch and 3.5-inch Hinges (Fits Most Doors)

Streamlined hinge mortising for interior doors

Upgrade privacy and security by replacing interior doors with a clean, precise hinge mortise using the Milescraft 1222 Hinge Mate 150. This compact router template is designed to work with both 3-inch and 3.5-inch hinges, allowing you to align hardware with confidence on a wide range of doors. The result can look and feel professional, with consistent hinge recesses that help doors hang evenly and close smoothly.

At the heart of the kit is a 1/2-inch ball-bearing guided router bit that helps maintain steady cuts and reduces wandering. The pre-installed stop sets a repeatable depth, so you can work through each hinge without re-measuring. The kit is sized to fit most doors, and its compact form makes storage and transport easy for DIY projects and small installs underway.

What you get and how it helps

• 1/2-inch ball-bearing guided router bit for clean, accurate mortises.
• Pre-installed stop that delivers consistent depth across hinges and doors.
• Supports both 3-inch and 3.5-inch hinge installations for versatility.
• Compact package (8.0" L x 3.13" W x 1.6" H) for easy storage and transport.

Why this hinge jig stands out

• Precision alignment helps hinges sit evenly, improving door swing and alignment over time.
• Versatility reduces the need for multiple jigs when working with common interior door sizes.
• Time-saving setup with a stop and guided bit accelerates projects without sacrificing accuracy.

Note: While the Hinge Mate 150 is built to assist accurate mortising, results depend on door type, router capability, and user technique. Consider testing on a scrap piece first to refine depth and alignment.
