Adjustable Hinge Jig
1. Assemble the Hinge Jig
1. Assemble the Hinge Jig
The two individual parts assemble together by a
connecting plate. Use the keyhole slot to capture the
head of the screw and pull both parts of the jig together
in the direction shown in the diagram. Tighten the
screw to secure the jig together.
Assemble the 3 pairs of aluminium bushes onto the jig
if not done so already. There are 3 slots within the jig
which they screw onto and slide on.

2. Set up the Hinge Length
2. Set up the Hinge Length
1. To adjust the length of the aperture the engraved
markings are used.
2. Loosen the screw so that the adjustment plate is
free to slide.
3. Align the leaf of the hinge with ‘0’ as shown in the
photo left.
4. Slide the adjustment plate so that it touches the
edge of the hinge. Tighten the screw to secure the
adjustment plate in place.
5. Repeat this operation for the other 2 hinge
apertures.
NOTE: If the length setup was done correctly then
the length of the hinge aperture on the jig should
be 4mm longer than that of the hinge itself. This is
because of the guide bush and cutter offset -
please see diagram below.
