About the Product
What is the Door Template system?
The Door Template installation jig kit is a professional hinge template system for routing accurate hinge mortises on interior doors. Interchangeable rails and templates eliminate measuring and layout work, delivering consistent, professional results on every door installation.
Who is the Door Template system designed for?
The Door Template installation jig kit is designed for finish carpenters, door hangers, custom millworkers, general contractors, and DIYers who need accurate, repeatable hinge placement without hand-marking every door.
What door sizes is the system compatible with?
he Door Template installation jig kit works with standard interior door heights:
- 6'8" doors — standard residential
- 7'0" doors — modern construction
- 8'0" doors — 9-foot ceiling homes
How long does it take to hang a door using the system?
The Door Template installation jig kit saves time on every door installation. First-time users complete a door in 45–60 minutes. Experienced installers using the hinge template system finish in 20–30 minutes. Speed improves as measuring and marking steps are eliminated.
Is the system compatible with pre-hung doors?
The Door Template installation jig kit is designed for slab door installation — hanging a door without an attached frame. For full frame-and-door replacement jobs, the hinge template system aligns mortises on both the new door and jamb. Standard pre-hung door replacement typically does not require templates as existing hinge locations align.
What material are the templates made from?
5/8" Baltic birch plywood, UV-finished on both sides, CNC precision cut,
Where are Door Templates made?
Every Door Template installation jig kit is designed and manufactured at California Custom Millwork in Gardena, California. Made in the USA.
