1 Review
$35.90

Easy-to-use Entry and Passage Door Mortise Kit is a great hinge installation helper. For 1-3/8" & 1-3/4" thick stock.

Increase security and privacy in your home by replacing doors without damaging the door or jamb with the DoorMortiseKit. By routing matching mortises for hinges, strike plates, and latch plates into the door and jamb, you won’t have to tear a hole in the wall just to hang a better wooden door.

Features Include:

  • Durable steel template frame with adjustable tabs allows for settings for 1-3/4” and 1-3/8”-thick doors
  • 1/2” Durable tungsten carbide-tipped router bit with ball bearing eliminates the need for a bushing
  • Contains templates needed to rout hinge, strike plate and latch plate mortises.
  • Hinge template sizes: 2-1/2", 3", 3-1/2", 4", and 4-1/2"
  • Strike template sizes: 1-1/8" x 2-3/4", and 1-1/2" x 2-1/4"
  • Latch plate template sizes: 1" x 2-1/4", 1-1/8" x 2 1/4", and 1-1/8" x 2-3/4"

NOTE: Some chiseling required on templates with square corners.

A great help...

I am just finishing a new mahogany frame and panel entry door, and I used the Milescraft kit to cut the hinge and bolt mortises for a new set of hardware. The kit is very versatile in accommodating many styles of hardware. My only (but serious) concern is a lack of indexing features for hinge mortise placement. I "solved" this inscribing my own on the plastic template, but this is a serious oversight in an otherwise well engineered kit.
