Brilliant video, I've used soffit board for hinge jigs before, as you say it's cheap, easy to cut but durable. Hope the wife doesn't mind you doing all that routering indoors
Great job, a really handy, robust, cheap jig made out of what could be scrap material. Similar Trend or Axminster jigs are €100 and are fiddley as you can set them up for any thickness of door and size of lock. A few of this type should do anyone 90% of the time if generally using 3 door thicknesses and 2-3 types of locks.
I've got an axminster hinge jig and I am struggling to find how in the worst scenario adjusting 4screws could ever be considered fiddly... Its the easiest jig you could wish to buy.
Great video dude, I’ve been thinking about making some jigs like you have but where you screwed it on the door make the right size spindle hole so you could route the spindle holes too maybe? And just use a quick grip to hold it on the door.
I don’t see why you can’t use any plunge router that has a router guide. I don’t see that it has to be just an 18v DeWalt. It just happens to be with you own... Good Video otherwise...
@@robtien7 one option I agree, cheap material awesome choice, multi function... shame trend don't add , 2nd option you need an 80mm plunge router like the T10ek but expensive, and another jig but as you said cheap to make

Not sure if it would wear the router but out quicker though
Could you show us how to make a keeper mate
If u want to be really clever you can add 2 holes for the handle bolts makes the final so much faster.
Hi my name Bekim

Great comments , thanks
Thank you for sharing your experience with us!!!👍
Thanks for your message , much appreciated 👍
Great vid mate, maybe one for the lock body?👍
Gets some more videos up
Great work
how do you cut out the lock body with a trimmer as the bits arent long enough ?
You can't. That needs to be drilled/ chiseled out

Hi,can you make a router jig for a rounded lock plate?
You could , but if you have lots of rounded plates to do , use a souber lock jig
Hi,Tony,thanks for getting back to me. I agree, but I can't use the souber, to make a keep on the frame. Can you suggest something?
