What it does
- Guide holes for all 4 mounting screws so your hinge installation stays straight and true every time
- Fits 35mm cup hinges with 45mm spacing, giving you the exact alignment you need to avoid mistakes
- Holds your drill bit in place so you can bore holes fast and keep both hands steady on the door
- Made in the USA and printed on demand just for you
Install European hinges the right way, every time. Your doors will hang flat and close smooth when the holes line up perfectly. This jig does the hard part for you.
The European Hinge Jig guides your drill through all four mounting holes at once, two for the door and two for the cabinet. Built for standard 35mm cup hinges with 45mm screw spacing, it takes the guesswork out of layout and keeps your bit from wandering. You just clamp it, drill, and move on.
Stop measuring twice and messing up once. This tool lives in your workshop and comes out every time you hang a door.

What it is made of

Printed plastic is strong for its size, but it is not metal. We have not load tested this design, so we do not publish a weight rating. Keep it out of a hot car and away from open flame.
