Customers like the quality of the hardware hinge. They mention that the nails in the pins work great, it works well for installing solid wood french style closet doors to replace worn out bi-fold doors, and the template worked fine. They also mention that there were no issues with the bit, and that it works great for mortising hinges into doors and jambs. The product is packaged well and looks to be a nice tool, but they have yet to use it. Overall, customers are satisfied with the quality and durability of the product.

Customers like the template. They say it's a great product, the jig worked perfectly, and the door looks great. The results look great and are professional looking. The price is equivalent to the router bit alone.

Customers are mixed about the value of the hardware hinge. Some mention that it's a good price point, while others say that it is not remotely useful and a waste of their time and money. That said, some say that the router bit is so cheap that it burnt up on their first use.

"...the price for decent router bits alone, the price for this set is very reasonable...." Read more

"...It's literally junk. Chinese-made router bits are far better than this. You might as well throw it away...." Read more

38 customers mention22 positive16 negative

Customers are mixed about the fit of the hardware hinge. Some mention that it is adjustable for most different door hinge sizes, while others say that it only goes by half inch sizes, the trim routers are too small, and the templates are off by a half inch.

"...I liked that it was adjustable for most different door hinge sizes, came with everything needed, including the router bit, and was reasonably priced...." Read more

"...template has some play in it. The adjustment of hinge size has some movement...." Read more

"...My point is it's adjustable for different door sizes but has its own idea of what the depth of mortise should be, and that isn't adjustable to..." Read more

"It took me a while to figure out that the width adjustment sliders were installed wrong. I had to swap them to make it work...." Read more

22 customers mention6 positive16 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the router bit included with the hinge. They say it's worthless, it failed after one use, and the bearing on the bit failed. Some customers also mention that the jig was completely worn out.

"...That would be user error unless the bearing on the router bit failed. If that happens, you will probably destroy the template...." Read more

"The jig is worth 5 stars. Very easy to use. The router bit I received was worthless. I made a few test cuts, but seemed to struggle...." Read more

"...And I appreciate the fact it comes with the router bit(1/4in)...." Read more

"...The bit basically died on the first mahogany door I used it on...." Read more

21 customers mention0 positive21 negative

Customers are disappointed with the dullness of the router bit. They mention that it dulls quickly, especially in soft wood, and burns through the wood after 12 hinges. Some customers also mention that the bit is duller than their 8th-grade science teacher.

"...The bit does dull quickly. After only cutting 4 hinges, the bit burned the wood when cutting...." Read more

"...I only made three hinge slot cuts before it went dull and started burning more than cutting. I was only making a 1/16" cut down into the wood...." Read more

"...By the time I attempted to rout the sixth hinge the bit was incredibly dull and the shank broke off in my router." Read more

"...Well, not really, but they did dull extraordinarily quickly...." Read more

20 customers mention0 positive20 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the burning of the hardware hinge. They mention that the bit starts to burn the wood, leaving burn marks and smoke. The bit is already showing signs of scorching and is fried after just one door.

"...After only cutting 4 hinges, the bit burned the wood when cutting. Buy a carbide tip if you have more than one door to install...." Read more

"...I only made three hinge slot cuts before it went dull and started burning more than cutting. I was only making a 1/16" cut down into the wood...." Read more

"...Because it doesn't cut well, it will burn the wood. Not a big deal, but getting the bit to do its job is WAY difficult because it's not sharp...." Read more

"...Left an ember in the dust that I had to stomp on to put it out.Very lame of Porter Cable to put their name on this bit. Shameful...." Read more

Fan of Hello Kitty? This might be for you
As I was looking at this product and considering purchasing it, I thought to myself, since it is plastic how can one keep from destroying it? I still wonder this today..On the plus side, the device is very sturdy plastic. Is that what "sheerness" means? I don't know, but I did credit the device in the respective category.Still, plastic is nothing against a common dremel with official router attachment. On the very first hinge mortise, I ate right into the plastic, and whop-sided the hinge pattern. I had 6 to do, so I wondered if the device could ever survive. Next, I made a hinge mortise that resembled hello kitty. Maybe my daughter will appreciate - I dont know.After it, I cut off a piece of galvanized steel flashing and crammed it into the devices gap, in order to protect the device from the router. This got me a decent hinge mortise, but on the very next one, the router caught the flashing and hurled it precariously across the room in a manner befitting a final destination movie.Preferring "danger" as a middle name and not some other choice word, I took some time and cut off a much better fitting piece of flashing, and didn't have the problem again. Lots of pretty sparks though!Dremel makes a great light duty router, now. Nothing bad to say about it. If I had to do it over I think I'd oversize the hinge setting in the device, and use the guide that comes with the dremel router. The guide would've probably protected the hinge template device somewhat, but it would've resulted in a smaller hinge envraving.Speaking of: as others have noted, it seems that the hinge pattern in this device is a bit large for the indicated size. See pics.The double headed nail pins are awesome though. I'd like to echo the comments that say the device needs a pocket or holster for them. I already don't know where one of them is - not that it matters. I got 6 decent hinge engravings that, with a little paint and maybe some cheapo white caulk, won't look like a cartoon character. Worst case - who will notice, right? (I will, that's who..)

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent tool for cutting door hinge recesses. Hard to beat at the price it goes for!
Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2021
Very effective tool for cutting professional-level hinge recesses in doors with a router! I liked that it was adjustable for most different door hinge sizes, came with everything needed, including the router bit, and was reasonably priced. I used my own screws rather than the nails they provided to mount the jig, though. I wanted a more secure mounting. There have been some observations about the quality and durability of the router bit. I found mine needed a little touch-up sharpening right out of the box, but with this it cut very cleanly. The plastic jig is fine, too... I have seen comments that the router bits tear it up. But the way it is designed there is plenty of clearance and if you set the router depth correctly and use a little care when cutting, the bit should never come near the plastic and the plastic jig should last indefinitely. I had great results with this tool and highly recommend it!
