We will conduct a detailed review and comparison of modern devices for fast and high-quality cutting of door hinges and locks with a universal mill.

Let's consider a technique using a template by Pavel Soldatov, Farid Kamal, DOOR-TOOL company and using a universal template with adjustment for inserting hinges and locks, UFK carriages. The article has been prepared for professionals who study modern methods of door installation. A specially selected video for each technology where experts give feedback on the use of templates and UFK carriages in the installation of door blocks. In addition (not as an advertisement), I will provide the addresses of the official representations.

Pavel Soldatov's template for interior door hinges

Let's consider a new template for inserting hinges and locks from Pavel Soldatov version 3.0i. This is a pretty interesting functional model. The device incorporates many years of experience in door installation and months of technical research.

The template allows you to:

• insert of door hinges of card and hidden type of any size, as well as mortise hinges of the “butterfly” type;
• insert of door latches and locks of any type and size;
• insert of striking plates of latches and locks of any type and size;
• insert of door crossbars of any type and size.

All these operations are performed using a manual router of any brand with a guide (copying) sleeve installed on it, with a diameter difference of 8 mm relative to the mill.

Positioning of the Template on a door leaf or frame is carried out quickly and with high accuracy without the use of measuring and marking tools.

A consistently high accuracy of insertion of door fittings with multiple repetitions is always achieved, regardless of the size of door leaves and frames, as well as errors and ratios of their sizes.

The template is easily and instantly (in seconds) adjusted to fit any type and size of door fittings, and also allows you to quickly adjust the size for each card hinge.

The template is thin, lightweight and durable. It is painted with wear-resistant powder paint, and wooden linings prevent damage to paintwork and other finishing coatings of the processed surfaces of products.

Description of the principle of operation

The basic principle of working with the Template can be reduced to one thing: Put everything all the way and level!

The supporting part of the template is shifted all the way into the clamps' legs, thereby copying the thickness of the door leaf and, when transferred to the box, rests against the sealant, setting an indent from the seal to the edge of the inset of the loop similar in size to the door leaf.

If the thickness of the canvas does not coincide with the size of the quarter under the canvas on the box, then when the template is installed on the box, the support part remains unchanged, and the parallel stop moves to plus or minus until it stops against the edge of the box.

Insertion templates have foolproof protection in the form of a diagonal cut of one corner, so it is impossible to install them differently. Also, on the templates-inserts there are square cutouts in which the flags of the movable parallel stops are included, thus, practically without looking, the size of 200 mm is set from the loop to the outer edges of the parallel stops.

Due to the expansion of the support part of the template and the support parts on the parallel stops, the support area of the entire template increases with increasing thickness of the web.

All parts of the template holder and template inserts are made of 1.5 mm steel and painted with wear-resistant powder paint. At the same time, it is lightweight and durable due to the corner elements in the structure. Insertion templates do not bend during operation, because lie on the supporting protrusions of the parallel stops, and along the perimeter on the remaining parts of the template holder.

It is better to watch a video review of the model and instructions for working with the template from Pavel Soldatov.

There are no digital markings on the template, so no calculations need to be done. To center the template for inserting locks, their counterparts and crossbars relative to the axial edge of the door leaf, you just need to set an equally symmetrical pattern on the stepped cutouts of each side, simultaneously loosening all four wing nuts on the upper base of the template.

An additional rip fence is included in the kit for inserting the ledger. With him, too, everything is simple.

The insertion of card loops of different sizes (100, 120, 125, 130) is carried out according to one insert template with the correction of each loop in length individually, which is carried out in one simple movement in just one second. The width of the buttonhole can also be set to any width by shifting the parallel stop plus or minus from the zero position, indicated by small holes near the lower stepped cutouts.

The cost of the minimum standard set is 6990 rubles

Undoubtedly, the model of Soldatov's template of high quality, greatly speeds up the installation of doors and various types of hinges and locks. The system of gaps and displacements has been thought over.

Minus. It should be borne in mind that there is a large variety of door fittings for which you need to buy carriages of a copying sleeve and inserts worth from 290 rubles, this will allow you to insert various types of locks and hinges using Pavel Soldatov's template. Accordingly, a set with the most popular inserts will be released at a cost of 25,000 rubles.

For cutting in all the accessories, you can use ANY trimmer and router, I recommend the makita rt0700 trimmer (edge trimmer). To insert the depth of the lock, a milling cutter with a processing depth of at least 70 mm, such as Makita 2300, is recommended. Also, the milling cutter can also cut in all the fittings, but it is heavy for these works. Therefore, for compactness and lightness, it is better to use a trimmer or small router.

Templates embed 200 positions of fittings for interior doors. For your convenience, you can choose templates by numbers or by sets. Select the base, if any, and the numbers of the inserts that are needed for the insertion.

Templates from DOOR-TOOL

The DOOR TOOL template is a modern door hinge cut-in template that should be in the arsenal of every wooden door installation professional. This tool allows you to work with replaceable inserts for different types of fittings, therefore it is widely in demand for installation work.

The hinge cut-in template can be used both for cutting grooves on the door leaf, and for installing the hinge on the door frame.

The copy template is a template holder designed for attaching replaceable metal template inserts.

It has an elongated base and two stops that allow you to mark the inset point without a tape measure (the distance from the edge to the inset point is 15-20 cm), which saves time and simplifies the work of the master. In addition, on the sides there are special recesses for secure fixation of the device using clamps.

Please note that for work you need a 16 mm diameter cutter with a 22 mm top bearing (copying ring).

With this set, you can cut door hinges, locks faster and more accurately than with a router with an emphasis. To insert hinges, two bases are usually used, connected by a ruler, the bases have replaceable inserts for different sizes of hinges and locks, it is possible to use one base for insertion, but this is less convenient and requires measurements.

The base is made of acrylic (plexiglas) and 15 mm moisture resistant laminated plywood. The Bases are adjusted very simply by moving the lower stop and the plastic part, the ruler is made in such a way that it is easy to use. The bases are intended for joint use with the router on which the copying ring is installed at the rate of: cutter diameter + 4 mm (example: if the cutter is 14 mm, then the copy ring is 18 mm.)

Absolutely any router is attached to the template for inserting hinges and locks using a special fastening ring that is included in the kit. For other not expensive models, such as Fraser Fiolent, there is an opportunity for 600 rubles. order an adapter plate.

Great weight advantage. It is not necessary to have and constantly buy a large number of inserts and copying sleeves for inserting hinges and locks of various sizes and designs.

• Weight: 3.9kg
• milling length X: 225 mm + O cutters
• Y-axis length: 70mm + O cutters

• Layout - for easy, accurate and quick template customization.
• Built-in vice - the carriage takes up less space and is easier to transport.
