Product description
The HingeJigPLUS™, by Milescraft, is a one-stop solution for door installation work. The jig routs and installs door and jamb / frame hinges, latches, and strike plate mortises quickly and accurately. The included bonus PinDoctor™ even assists in removing your old door.
The dual-clamping design of the HingeJigPLUS™ mounts quickly and holds firm to ensure cuts are clean and accurate. No need for screws or nails which can damage your door. Rout perfect hinge mortises in 2.5”, 3”, 3.5”, 4” and 4.5” sizing on both a door, or the frame!
For Doors – Set appropriate backset plug setting and insert the adjustable spacer into the correct sizing slot facing the DOOR cavity, clamp, and route. On Frames, the HingeJigPLUS™ is reconfigured to clamp or mount to new or existing jambs and frames using the FRAME cavity. Included offset pins make sure that the spacing stays accurate and the width of the hinge mortise is just right.
Built-in depth setting guides to ensure proper routing depth on smaller or larger hinges. The design of the HingeJigPLUS™ also makes it easy to change between ¼” and 5/8” radius mortises. Flip the radius inserts and spacer to the curved side for 5/8” hinges, or the flat side for ¼” hinges.
The HingeJigPLUS™ includes drop in templates to rout latch plate and strike mortises. Simply remove the adjustable spacer, set the backset plug to latch, and drop in a template The strike template is used when the jig is in the FRAME position, and uses the index pins to set correct distance.

- Reviewed in Canada on April 26, 2025Verified PurchaseWell packaged! Awesome device, I can see this unit assisting me for years to come.
- Reviewed in Canada on January 21, 2025Verified PurchaseWorks as shown and works well. Easy to use and set up.
- Reviewed in Canada on December 31, 2024Verified PurchaseThe only issue would be that you have to take it apart to switch from door to frame
- Reviewed in Canada on February 21, 2025Verified PurchaseWorked well enough for door slabs but I wish it was clear that it wont do door jambs (frames) that are one piece.. only good for flat stock jambs where you're nailing the door stop on after you've done your hinge machining.
- Reviewed in Canada on April 28, 2025Verified PurchaseLooks like it’s pretty decent.
Quite accurate
- Reviewed in Canada on July 7, 2025Verified PurchaseMorticed the hinges about 1/16-1/8” too tall :(
Was not a nice tight factory fit like the one I was expecting.
- Reviewed in Canada on October 10, 2024Verified PurchaseThis is the only thing from Milescraft I have purchased that is terrible. It has so much flex when using. How did this go into production? The older metal bracket style is vastly superior.
- Reviewed in Canada on September 18, 2024Verified PurchaseThis item is a little bit hard to set and could use some improvement to be able to set it easier and switch it between the jamb and the door

5.0 out of 5 stars Made easy work of replacing doors and jambs.
Verified PurchaseI've used it in three so far. Building new jambs for existing doors and new doors for existing jambs.. It works well. The cutouts a a hair bigger than the hinges but it's not a bad thing. I match new to old, draw around the hinges with a sharp pencil and clamp the jig on and go. It's easy to use after you figure out what the pieces are for. There are good instructions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does doors and jambs
Verified PurchaseGreat product for DIY homeowner. Adjustable to accomodate multiple common hinge sizes. Rubber clamps hold jig tightly in place without having to damage object with nails, although jig does have nail holes to allow for better stability during use. Can be used on jamb uprights only if door stops are not installed or present. Jig also has patterns for a couple of common door striker and latch plate. Excellent hard plastic, not very flexible at all (if you don't really crank down hard on the screw clamps). I also found a way to use this jig to countersunk rectangle for a non-standard sized vintage latch plate, by routing out most of it and then moving the jig to finish the size I need.
Very handy jig! It comes with a router bit equipped with a standoff bearing. Be careful lowering or raising the router in and out of the jig while it is running as you can catch the router blade in the plastic walls of the jig and damage them. I searched a while before I decided to purchase a hinge mount jig, and I am very glad I chose this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Product Can't beat the price.
Verified PurchaseAmazing product works great and easy set up.
Can't beat the cost, if you were to buy the router bit that comes with it
you would spend more than the amount for the whole unit.
