Believe it or not, hanging a door is a relatively straightforward job. Even if you are a beginner DIYer, you can do this task with some basic instruction. The one step of hanging a door that may be unfamiliar to you is cutting out the slots (mortises) for the hinges. This is typically accomplished with a hammer and chisel. It can certainly be done freehand, without the use of any additional tools, but it takes some time and some serious attention to precision to get it just right.
If you are new to this task, or if you have several doors to hang, you might want to consider another method of cutting door hinge slots: using a door hinge jig. If you use a door hinge jig, it will speed up the process quite a bit. And it will be worry-free, because the jig will guide your cut for you, eliminating much of the need to pay attention to precision. Think of a jig as a template. It’s a tool that guides another tool to do its job, which in this case is a router. It’s the green tool in the photo below. Step 1: Before placing the jig over the door, adjust it to accommodate the shape of your hinges (rounded or square corners). Step 2: Place the jig over the door. Step 3: Secure the jig in place. Step 4: Adjust the slider on top to accommodate the length of the hinge. Step 5: Identify the correct gauge that you will need to check the depth setting of your router bit before you begin the cut. (These gauges are usually located in the lower right side of the front of the jig.)
Step 6: Insert your pattern router bit in your router. Step 7: Check to ensure that that the bit is set for the correct depth of cut. The way that you do this is by holding the router over the jig, and sliding the tip of the bit into the gauge that you selected in Step 5. The bit should slide in somewhat snugly, without too much additional space beneath it, but also without scraping against the bottom of the gauge slot. Step 8: Make this adjustment if you are using a laminate router only. (If you are using a regular-sized router, skip to Step 9). There is a rail that comes with most door hinge jigs that you use as a bar on which to rest the shoe (bottom) of a smaller sized router while you are making your cut. It prevents the router from tipping over. Install this rail in the top of the jig. Usually it just snaps in. Step 9: Hold your router up over the jig, resting the shoe either on the jig itself, or on the rail, if you are using a smaller router. Step 10: Turn on the router.
You will then make your cut by sliding the router. You follow the “outline” provided by the jig. Step 11: When you have completed the cut, set aside the router and remove the jig from the door. Step 12: Now your door hinge slot should be nearly done. However, you will most likely need to clean up the corners of it with a hammer and chisel. (You can also use a utility knife if you don’t have a chisel.) Step 13: Set the hinge into place. Step 14: Attach the hinge to the door. Repeat the process for the remaining hinge or hinges. And that’s all it takes to cut perfect door hinges every time. You can do this! Simple Jig for Hinges The jig is dirt simple. Just a piece of plywood for a base and a fence to secure it. I clamp it to the case or door and use a bearing guided bit to rout the mortise. I always learn a lot when I teach a woodworking class. At the moment, I’m making an Arts and Crafts Display Cabinet with a great group of guys. We’re just getting to the door and my thoughts turned to hinge mortises.
In my own work, I’m typically faced with hanging a single door, two at the most, in a given project. So I’ve never gotten around to making a routing jig to simplify the process. In a classroom situation, however, a little bit of set up pays big dividends. Using a jig by Doug Stowe in a recent Fine Woodworking article as inspiration, I built a few of my own. Not only will the class get through their mortises quickly and accurately, I’ve got a great jig to use in my own shop from now on.
