And that can be noticeable on a cabinet with short handles and a disaster for longer handles or bars. Our top pick, the Porter-Cable door hinge jig, uses a ¼-inch bit, whereas the versatile Milescraft door hinge jig uses a ½-inch bit.

So why not invest in the best hinge jig from Kreg AND their class leading drawer slide jig and cabinet hardware jig? The guide above will prove useful in finding the right jig for full-size interior and exterior doors as well as cabinet doors. The Kreg Concealed Hinge Jig takes the guesswork out of drilling those holes, and allows you to do it with nothing more than a drill and the carbide-tipped bit that comes with the jig. There are a number of cabinet hinge jigs available that mimic the high-quality Kreg model described above. Due to a design flaw in the set screw, the Valiant jig, pictured below, is almost 1/32″ out of square.This economical, easy-to-use jig ensures accurate hinge alignment, so you can install doors that fit great and work well.

Hinges for full-size exterior and interior doors come in a range of sizes, and the doors themselves can be different thicknesses. Our main concern with the Ryobi door hinge jig is that it is plastic throughout, and much of it is quite thin. Some have a single clamp built in, which makes for fast work, though it’s important to make sure the jig is absolutely level.The jig positions an included carbide-tipped bit exactly at the proper position and offset, and drills to the perfect depth every time thanks to a depth stop collar. However, door hinges were traditionally square, and when refitting a door to an existing frame, it will often be necessary to cut away the rounded area. The DIY jig only has two parts that could either be joined by creating a slot in one with a router and attaching the other to it or by simply screwing the two together. These jigs are usually one size to suit the hinge being used—either 35 millimeters (mm) or 26mm—though some can accommodate both.
