Travis clamps the jig flush to the door side with the arrow end flush with the end of the door. It is easy to use with minimal setting up time completing the job both accurately quickly. Set the depth of the cut to be the same as the depth of your hinge so that the hinge will rest flush on the door.

Both sides of the jig are labeled end with an arrow pointing to the end of the door. Used on site in joinery shops to increase productivity with excellent results. Attach the included router bit to your router. Four apertures for fire door requirements.

The jig is made from two short boards screwed together with a guide hole drilled in one board. I made the end cuts with a crosscut sled on the tablesaw. Place the jig in the correct spot on your door.
