🔗 benchdogs.co.uk
Dan Cox has designed a hinge jig that answers the shortcomings of existing hinge jigs.
• Clamps to the door and is non-marking.
• Open aperture to eliminate the need to plunge.
• Fully configurable for 3 or 4-inch hinges and taller doors.
• Ideal for fire doors with the 100mm spacer block.
• All parts are replaceable through the UK manufacturer.
• Portable in its own carry tube.
Dan has also created the Ultimate Roofing Square.

I have now received my jig which arrived very quickly. I have now used my jig on six doors and the results are superb, as accurate as a CNC machine but I did have one niggle. The knurled knob that tightens the blocks to the rail. A couple were stiff to turn which resulted in them moving slightly when I stood the jig up after use. I had to be very careful not to knock it in anyway. As I mentioned in my previous post I did drill through the extrusion to secure the jig to the door lining and it was covered by the door stops so it would be nice if the holes were already there but it was a simple job to drill them myself.

I've been looking at hinge jigs for years, never really been happy enough with them, always something funny that you have to do to make them work. But this one is the first one that could actually get my money. Seems very flexible in the size of door, hinge position etc. Looks to be a very sturdy bit of kit, have been put off by some that look like you have to be very precious with and the other extreme where they end up being think and heavy. Best of all British made, something to be very proud of in its self let alone designing it. I much prefer the open style, I too have had kitchen jigs damaged, admittedly I did foolishly lend in to someone. I like the idea of the screw holes in the main frame an eailer commenter made. Great product sir, you deserve to be very successful with it. Just been looking on the website, will it be possible to buy the hinge blocks separately, i.e. I by the 3inch system and can later add the 4inch blocks

Looks well made. I like the fact you can use it on smaller doors and nip the blocks up tight. I use the trend skeleton jig as its quick to set up. I find the blocks move sometimes if you push guide bush into it too hard, as they are only tightend finger tight. Not a fan of screwing the jig to frame though, no reason why you couldn't use bradawls still I guess. I think the way of adjusting the jig to the thickness of door is far better on the trends. There's pros and cons to all of them.

This looks spot on. I’ve been using the Porter cable jig to set 8’ doors, it’s a headache to setup, you need to run bradawl pins in to the door and you have zero flexibility in the hinge locations. This looks like it checks all those boxes. Hoping you’ll ship the the US. Thanks Dan and Roger.

Looks like a good bit of kit, and my experience with benchdogs is they do great quality products. however, I have used many different hinge jigs over the years, and have found it hard to beat my one piece trend hinge jig, but I only tend to hang standard size doors. advantage of this jig is you can add more sections if you have larger doors to hang, just one problem, looking at the size of section that fits on door lining, doesn't look like it would fit a rebated door frame, the trend works well on rebated frames or if door stops on

I've got to ask, where are you getting solid pine doors from? I had a look recently and even the ones from XL were engineered with veneer. I ended up doing a lot of work to some reclaimed doors (made them bigger and square with some ripped down timber from of s similar age and dowels) because I couldn't find anything that came close in quality to the old Victorian stuff. The jig is very clever and well made as you would expect from Benchdogs, I'm only a DIY renovator pleb so I'll stick to the chisels for now 😂doesn't take me too long to hand a couple of doors.

@@nZebco I know a carpenter Andy Foster who used to fit fire doors in London all day, every day. The doors were propped up in the hallways in hotels and flats and he would start at one end and wheel his rig down the corridor with the router and jig ready to go in the bottom. If you organise it properly two of you can do those kind of number but, like you said, it is all about the money. It would do your head in soon enough.

@@SkillBuilder I have photos of doors proped and alligned like domino pieces in massive open spaces like future shopping centers. Literally walking in with a hammer, pencil,corner chisel, makita portable router and trend skeleton jig. One person was routing, one was finishing, the guys behind carry the doors in the designated rooms.WEhen all prep done, plumb one side of the all the door openings, fit the doors, trims etc.. literally the success of this is the fact that you move with only tool belt around you and obviously no dead times. Been only money driven to do that as I had no pleasure in doing repetitive jobs. No more:)

Hell of a bit of kit !!! But not better than the plywood ones we used to make in about 15 mins 45 years when ago fitting doors in the frames when building ships. 'Plus because the plywood was wider router was more stable . Plus when I do three hinges ( which personally I do not like ) l tend not to chop it in on the frame until I have had the door on in case I need to adjust depth position etc as If all three hinge pins are not in perfect alignment you will have issues.

Why can’t you screw the jig to the frame by the sliding rail and not the blocks, wouldn’t that place the crew holes where the door stops go and therefore negate any damage to the frame?

Hi James, It could be screwed through the extrusion however there is channels in it so the hole would be in the channel. Thanks for watching.

I don't hang doors anymore I pass them on as I've had my days lugging doors about, but if I was hanging doors on a daily basis this tool would be in my kit. Quality written all over it, and once you have fiddled about and got used to setting that up it would be a breeze.

If only you brought this out 2 years ago I'd have jumped at it in a heartbeat. I had to settle for the trend skelly jig which in my opinion at the time was the best available. As I look after my gear I doubt I'll need to buy another unless sticky fingers decide to liberate it. Just wanted to blow smoke up your a**e as you done a great job with it. Good luck with it 😉👍🍻

Hi Rodger, I am just wondering what router cutter do you use and which guide bush for the makita router like the one used in the video by Dan?
@Ultimate-roofing-square.
@Ultimate-roofing-square. Жыл бұрын
Hi Harry, I used a 12 mm cutter and a 16 mm guide. As long as the guide is 4 mm bigger, you can use a combination of any.
