As a self employed master electrician in Chicago - I cannot tell you how many times I am asked to repair something non-electrical while I am doing electrical work at a person's home. I have hung many of doors and used a razor knife and chisel to do the hinge cutouts. I recently purchase the Ryobi door hinge template for my compact router. OMG! Absolutely perfect cutouts every time, uniform depth and cosmetically perfect. Best money I ever spent!
Just saw a coworker with one yesterday. Honestly never knew Ryobi made this. And I comes with the it too. Way to go Ryobi. Now they just need to make one for the door jambs where you need to add hinges on an existing door jamb.😂
Great tutorial! One thing I would add is when measuring the location of the hinges on the door, use the old door as your guide for placement of the hinges on the new door. For the top hinge on the new door, measure from the top of the old door to the top of the first hinge. Transfer that measurement to the new door. Same for the second and third hinge -- measure from the top of the door down to the top of the hinges.
I actually think the OP's method is better. Just line the doors up, clamp them together, and use a straightedge to mark where the hinges go. Easier, faster, and more foolproof. (At least I hope so because that's the way I'm going to do it!)
I know this is an old post but I just purchased one of these and this was the first review video I came to. Very helpful. After watching I'm ready to give it a try. The only difference with the kit I bought is it also comes with a self centering drill bit for the hinge screws. This was great. Thanks for posting.
There will always be some who say "don't buy the jig", "takes too long", "just freehand the router", etc. But for all of us do it yourselfers, a great video! Thanks!
This tutorial was great! It really helped me a lot. I don't understand how anyone could dislike this video. Great job on the production of the video. Thanks for taking the time to make the video.
Agreed, we're getting this content free of charge (besides ads). Plus this helps you determine if you don't want this jig bc you think it's junk, so regardless of the outcome it's going to help you out.
Awesome tutorial! I like watching videos over reading the manual and yours was very straightforward. You explained the "whats" and the "whys" perfectly! Thank you.
I just use one,the thickness adjustment screw was stucked,i was thinking it was gonna break . Anyway,the bad thing about it is the plastic made. But that aside ,it works great,never before in my life install a wood door,but this device made it all.really easy.
Seen about 4 videos of this thing and they all complained about the rounded corner. None of them knew that you could flip the corner to make it square. Your video is the only one that mentions this.
It's a great tool. Its a bit flimsy, but has never failed and it's the only model I've found that doesn't need to be screwed to the door. This tool has made me money,
Thank you! installing my first doors, used a chisel for the first hinge cut out and I was horrible. Have a small palm router and plan on using the template to make them look and function way better.
Bought one of these at the request of a HD guy. And a 1.5 inch chisel.. tried the old fashion way for 30 minutes. Looked up tuts on you tube, found this one and hung my first new door hung in 15 minutes. Can't thank you enough for the tut. Awesome work. Now, I wonder, can I return the chisel.
Any time Clifford. You can use a chisel if needed, but it's really ment for a router. Sucks they did not just tell you that in the first place. Ps. They should return it if you tell them the wrong tool was recommend to you
Thank for the review, picked one up today, they've made some changes but essentially the same unit. I had a metal set 20 years ago that cost me 4x what this one did, didn't come with the router bit, AND the one I got has the center punch/pre drill combo bit also stores on tool. LOVE IT..
Instead of asking people to check out your channel for those two specific videos, why not include their links? Better for us and better for your channel to make things easier for your followers!
I was hesitant within give thumb up or down. I choose "down". 1) the explanation is to wordy and it goes round and about, taking too much of my time. 2) always talk about chisel that never showed up
@@yevgeniyafanasyev364 I bought the tool at home depot and watched the video while driving back to the job. It was nice to know exactly how to use the tool. I have mixed feelings on the tool. The tool raises up from the door when I tighten the clamp which makes the router make shallow cuts in the door
That is so cool. I can't believe they thought to put a fence on it for a trim router, brilliant... I'm going to buy one this weekend. I know what you mean about metal on tools, but for a jig, it's nice and light, and the modern reinforced plastics are really strong. Great review. Thanks
Excellent video! I don’t think anyone could have made it any clearer or straight forward. For someone like me who’s doesn’t know anything, it would have been great to show what the router looks like.
Ok. Good video. I noticed a few small differences between your model of the template and mine. They've made a couple of changes since you purchased yours and they addressed the flat support area for the router you mentioned. Thanks.
I'm buying one in about 6 hrs. Replacing mom and dad's bathroom door now, will be replacing 7 more sometime in the near future. I tried chiseling, but that was ugly. A day and a half ago, I started thinking that something like this had to exist.
For most part video was good even though your wrist was in the way at first when you began to router out hinge area though did get it how to go about routing out the area using the tool. As for the plastic piece you mentioned you wish could been metal maybe ryobi wanted to use plastic stead of metal hold down screw being would mar the project so they decided plastic was better to use but if person wanted metal they could go to hardware store buy right size screw even may have a specialty screw with the T look or create one by drilling hole through the end of a square headed screw afixing a small metal dowell through the head of metal screw to look like the plastic one on the hinge tool just a thought only problem is that metal screw working in plastic would eventually wear plastic threads down faster then plastic with plastic. Nevertheless great video thanks for the demo👍
The nylon vise screw is adequate in my view.. The adjustable plate has four skid pads attached to it. All you need to do is to make sure the jig is flush to the door edge. Then, tighten the vise screw until it contacts the door side. Then tighten another half to 3/4 turn. Try to slide it with your hand. That is plenty of hold for the routing. If you tighten further, it actually warps the jig slightly and could throw your rout off a little. I found their bit provides the best fit for the hinges. If you use square hinges, a sharp chisel or the Porter Cable squaring chisel makes quick work of the adjustment needed. For $25, it did a number of replacement doors for me and could do a bunch more. I also have the Stanley TH8 jig, but that is best for new doors and jambs. Using the old door clamped to the new as a guide to locate the hinges ( with a combination square) avoids any measuring.
Thanks,,,,, It actually was so easy to do! I just took each door to where I was going to hang it and placed it into the frame, used a small screwdriver under the door to use as a wedge to move it to the proper height so that it is close to the top but a small space on top and took a pencil to match and mark the hinge placement and every one of the doors fit perfectly! So easy to do! Thanks for the video!
Tool Review Zone : Thank YOU: The HD third-party "partner" came in with a quote of $400 for installing EACH of 3 interior doors! I think I'll be ordering the Ryobi, and one or another of the lockset jigs, to install them myself!
Great video...I agree... wish it was built a little better. I bought it and the first cut was perfect...second cut the slide moved on me a little and the cut was just a little off. Overall it worked good.
Great video! Love all those tools for the door. My issue is the strike plate being positioned correctly on the door jamb so that the lock can't be popped open! It's amazing how few ppl that DIY realize that if your installing hardware that locks & if the striker plate isn't just right, Anyone can just pop that lock in less than 3 seconds! Scary really! Yeah I have a deadbolt that secures the door, but why pay for a lock on the bottom if it means nothing when not installed correctly. Your videos are Great & would LOVE if you'd do a video about that!
works ok on mortising the door. I have to monitor the spacing for the length of the hinge... the template won't lock in place. BUT I also have a jamb to mortise. No one seems to address this with the same detail as the door. I rate this kit as incomplete.
Man that tool is great the only problem is that I don't buy Ryobi. I guess I have to wait for Makita or Milwaukee to come out with one. I got to tell you that was a great video you did thank you for taking the time and doing it. Peace
They won't. I waited for a couple years before breaking down and getting the Ryobi. Surprisingly Ryobi makes the best door knob jig as well since they are the only ones with the strike plate locator tab.
Yeah, this works really well and can beat it for the price. I replaced every door on my house using this. They also have a really cool latch install tool that I posted
Unfortunately this tool doesn't have an insert for narrower gauge hinges I had to make my own insert for a 25mm deep x 90mm wide hinge so be aware of that little problem when you purchase your hinges.
I use a tape measure, a sharp pencil, and a router. Measure from top inside of jamb to where ever you want your hinge to be( add 1/8" for door clearance), mark it, then trace out the shape of hinge. Use the router resting on the door stop and free hand cut the trace out. Remember to off set away from the stop enough to clear for hinge swing. Practice on a piece of scrap a few times and it will be easy after that.
Great Video, I have the same template, my problem is I could not keep the door straight so the door kept moving hence the router would move, I kind of see of how you kept to door straight. You clamped it to two 4x4s?
You mentioned Milwauke tools Ryobi, Milwaukee, Ridgid and empire are priducts made by TTI , TTI is a fast growing world leader in power tools, outdoor products, accessories, hand tools and storage for the DIY, professional and industrial users. So althoughe features between Ryobi and Milwaukee are different quality and durability are equal the color and name are marketing strategies targeted at the uniformed, naive, gullible consumer that aside liked your presentations well done
I wish I knew about this sooner. Now I got to get a new door a cordless dewalt router and a 5ah battery and this. Not to mention a band aid for my finger after trying to Chisel it out. 🙄
I bought this but after watching this video not gonna open the package, just return it to the store if it only does the door it's not worth having, just buy a Porter Cable they make it in metal or black plastic it does the JAMB and the door.
@@K3YSWEET I did not figure it out. I got hinges to match the original router cut. I’m guessing the size of the router bit makes the difference, perhaps?
Thanks for the video. I use the Ryobi plunge router, too, so it’s important to note that one must install the bit (supplied with the jig) in the collet slid out most of the way. It otherwise will not give sufficient depth when using the jig. You did not really show this.
But he did show the two router bit depth adjustment setting "slots" on the side of the jig. These allow for proper depth setting of the router bit. One for a thin hinger, the other for a thicker hinge material.
Great video. Thanks for all of that work posting. I have a jig made by Porter Cable that you hold in place with removable nails and can place it anywhere you like. It has lines to help you judge the distance from the door edge. The advantage is that you can control how close to the long edge of the door you want the hinge. (Example, 1/8” or 3/16”). Can that be done with this jig?
+James Mason thanks so much for the comment! I have been looking for other jigs like this, but only found very expensive ones. I am going to check it out bud!
Tool Review Zone Thanks my man. We don’t need expensive. HAA. Just something similar to this with that adjustability. I think it’s crucial when doing a retrofit. I’ll look too and let’s see who finds something first and shares here. Peace.
Oh boy, this gives me anxiety seeing that much of the bit stick out of the collet. There's a minimum depth marker on the side of the shank and you were about an inch shy of it. It's there to keep that bit from becoming a carbide tipped projectile spinning at 25,000 RPM.
Is the router you used the RYOBI 18V ONE+ Cordless Fixed Base Trim Router with Tool Free Depth Adjustment? What is the difference between that one and the RYOBI 8.5 Amp 1-1/2 Peak HP Router
19th Century British Imperial hinges only. It would have been too easy to insert a hinge and set the length but its has snap positions than I cannot use.
As a professional finish carpenter this Ryobi "jig" is super cute. To the point I'd be embarrassed to even bring this to a job... I like the grey plastic knob and the plastic rails.. wreaks of quality.. Your depth isn't correct either, the hinge is proud of the door. If you're wanting square corners in a mortise you use a corner chisel.. not fiddling with plastic pieces. 1 false move, knick the plastic and this jig is junk. You can make these out of plywood pretty easily too. I dunno man if you used my Bosch you'd laugh at this Ryobi. The Bosch is the last quality built jig you cannot buy anymore. Milwaukee had a decent one but the nails are junk. The Bosch is discontinued because apparently people don't machine doors anymore. Good video man.

Nice job on the review. I agree every day use with the plastic hold down screw will eventually fail.. Good job, nice features on the tool.
Good tutorial. I've watched several that cover the DOOR mortice. Where are those that show the FRAME side mortice? Have I missed something obvious?
Thank you, im doing this tomorrow on 5 doors this jig is so user friendly, thank you ( subscriber) 👍
Awesome video buddy. Really appreciate the time taken to create this!
Thanks. Just what I need to install these doors in my home.
Well done. Simple and easy to follow. Thanks!

This jig will work for any plunge router, or the Dremel plunge router. Don't need Ryobi router.
Very good, informative video. This electrician thanks you!

I assume that Ryobi mortisse jig does not also fit on the door jamb? Do you have a video for the other half of this door mounting job?
Jim Falco good question 🤔
thank you! this is the best video on how to use the ryobi hinge template
When. I. Installed a door handle I. Used a hoe saw bit did not have one of those back years ago
I love a good hoe.
Using it now. Great video thanks
Thank you for the great details bro
That jig is great. But he is right. Less plastic. You can eat into the plastic with your router if you go at it with a little too much gusto.
I just checked out the Home Depot website - and it looks like they heard your complaint, the threaded portion is now metal :-)
About time haha. Huge improvement. Thanks for the comment Jim!
How do you cut the curved hinge cut out on the door FRAME in exactly the right position, to match the door?
I use a tape measure, a sharp pencil, and a router. Measure from top inside of jamb to where ever you want your hinge to be( add 1/8" for door clearance), mark it, then trace out the shape of hinge. Use the router resting on the door stop and free hand cut the trace out. Remember to off set away from the stop enough to clear for hinge swing. Practice on a piece of scrap a few times and it will be easy after that.
Says, "You can go a couple of different routes..." with a router in-frame on the table :-)
Great Video, I have the same template, my problem is I could not keep the door straight so the door kept moving hence the router would move, I kind of see of how you kept to door straight. You clamped it to two 4x4s?

I would replace that with a bolt and fit a small bar to turn it for hand locking ,saying that I still use my trend hinge jig .
Thank you for the super tutorial.
I wish I knew about this sooner. Now I got to get a new door a cordless dewalt router and a 5ah battery and this. Not to mention a band aid for my finger after trying to Chisel it out. 🙄
Most hinges have two different radius or corners, a 1/4" or 5/8" , is this corner jig only able to copy the !/4" hinge?
That looks like a 5/8” radius hinge. Is there a different corner guide for 1/4” hinges?
I bought this but after watching this video not gonna open the package, just return it to the store if it only does the door it's not worth having, just buy a Porter Cable they make it in metal or black plastic it does the JAMB and the door.
Has anyone found a place to get the replacement parts to do round corner hinges.. those things get torn up so quickly
Bro awesome demonstration!
Thanks brother 👊
The new model is even better and easier to use. My only complaint is the included instructions which are terrible.
Be awsome to use the ryobi multi tool with the ridgid router attachment.
Excellent review. Thank you very much Sir.
Thanks Chris and you are welcome!!!
Thanks for the video! At 10:50 I blew off the screen. It didn't work.
Hilarious!
What if my 3 1/2” hinges have a smaller 1/4” radius corner?
I have the same issue, did u figure this out? Im guessing square template and bit leaves the corner???
@@K3YSWEET I did not figure it out. I got hinges to match the original router cut. I’m guessing the size of the router bit makes the difference, perhaps?
So you can adjust the length for the hinge but not the width? 🤔

It has lines to help you judge the distance from the door edge. The advantage is that you can control how close to the long edge of the door you want the hinge. (Example, 1/8” or 3/16”). Can that be done with this jig?
+James Mason thanks so much for the comment! I have been looking for other jigs like this, but only found very expensive ones. I am going to check it out bud!
Tool Review Zone Thanks my man. We don’t need expensive. HAA. Just something similar to this with that adjustability. I think it’s crucial when doing a retrofit. I’ll look too and let’s see who finds something first and shares here. Peace.
@@Jimmy_Cavallo so... Neither of you found anything yet?
Lil Stack'n oh yea. I was supposed to be shopping around. Haa. Not yet.
Great video! I'm ready to cut now!
+Dennis Downes awsome, good luck!
What adjusts the bit to the rotor
So you can adjust the length of the hinge you cut out for, but not the width of the leaf of the hinge?
I have some hinges that have a square and radius side. Which side goes where? Can I put the square on the jamb and the curve on the door?
Oh boy, this gives me anxiety seeing that much of the bit stick out of the collet. There's a minimum depth marker on the side of the shank and you were about an inch shy of it. It's there to keep that bit from becoming a carbide tipped projectile spinning at 25,000 RPM.
You feel like it is going to break? I've used it many times without breaking. Cross that bridge when you get there sparky.
Is the router you used the RYOBI 18V ONE+ Cordless Fixed Base Trim Router with Tool Free Depth Adjustment? What is the difference between that one and the RYOBI 8.5 Amp 1-1/2 Peak HP Router
Great review. Thanks!
Doesn't look like the hinge fits snug to the door???
19th Century British Imperial hinges only. It would have been too easy to insert a hinge and set the length but its has snap positions than I cannot use.
As a professional finish carpenter this Ryobi "jig" is super cute. To the point I'd be embarrassed to even bring this to a job... I like the grey plastic knob and the plastic rails.. wreaks of quality..
Your depth isn't correct either, the hinge is proud of the door. If you're wanting square corners in a mortise you use a corner chisel.. not fiddling with plastic pieces. 1 false move, knick the plastic and this jig is junk. You can make these out of plywood pretty easily too. I dunno man if you used my Bosch you'd laugh at this Ryobi.
The Bosch is the last quality built jig you cannot buy anymore. Milwaukee had a decent one but the nails are junk. The Bosch is discontinued because apparently people don't machine doors anymore. Good video man.
Check out the porter cable hinge template part# 59381 all metal it’s the best, very satisfied with the product.👌
+Troy Queen yeah seen them. Very nice kit, but over $200
