This is a hinge butt template kit designed for hanging doors and matching hinge locations between the door and jamb. Model Number: 59381. If you install doors for a living, or you are doing several openings in one job, this kit cuts out the slow part of the work: measuring, marking, and hoping every hinge lines up the same way.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe big selling point here is capacity. The kit can be configured for both 3-hinge and 4-hinge doors. In 3-hinge setup, it handles doors and frames between 6 feet and 7 feet high. In 4-hinge setup, it handles doors and frames between 7 feet and 8 feet high. It also accommodates hinge sizes from 3 inches to 6 inches in 1\/2 inch increments, which gives you flexibility across common residential and light commercial door hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis kit is also built to work with a range of door thicknesses, including 1-3\/8 inch, 1-3\/4 inch, 2 inch, 2-1\/4 inch, and 2-1\/2 inch doors. That matters because you are not boxed into one narrow application. Whether you are hanging interior passage doors, heavier entry doors, or thicker specialty slabs, the jig has the adjustment range to stay useful instead of becoming a one-job accessory.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrom a build standpoint, the Porter Cable 59381 Hinge Butt Template Kit uses metal hinge templates and steel rails, which is exactly what you want in a jig that needs to stay straight, clamp securely, and hold its settings over repeated use. End gages make it easier to set distance from the template to the top and bottom of the door, and the full-length locator on each template section helps with consistent placement. The included corner chisel is there for square hinge corners when the install calls for them.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor routing, the kit includes a carbide-tipped router bit, template guide, and lock nut for 1\/4 inch radius hinges. That gives you the core cutting setup right in the case instead of sending you off to piece together the accessories separately. If your job uses 5\/8 inch or 5\/16 inch radius hinge corners, those can be accommodated with separately sold bits and template guides. That is worth knowing up front if you work across mixed hardware specs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOn the jobsite, this kind of jig earns its keep on speed and repeatability. When you are hanging multiple doors, a hinge template kit like this helps you reduce layout errors, keeps hinge locations consistent from opening to opening, and makes it easier to get a clean fit between door and frame. The included carrying case is a practical plus because there are a lot of parts here, and a kit only saves time if you can keep everything together and ready to grab.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis Porter Cable jig makes the most sense for finish carpenters, remodelers, millwork installers, door shops, and serious DIY users who want pro-level accuracy when mortising hinges. If you only hang one door every few years, it is probably more jig than you need. If you hang doors regularly, especially in batches, this is the kind of setup that saves time, keeps the work consistent, and pays for itself in fewer mistakes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails id=\"product-benefits-1\" class=\"acc\"\u003e \u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSet Up Doors Fast And Keep Spacing Consistent\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"img\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/1582\/5958\/files\/porter-cable-59381-5.jpg?v=1755059483\" alt=\"Porter Cable 59381 Hinge Butt Template Kit mounted across a wood panel door to lay out hinge mortises for door hanging in a workshop\" class=\"tnblock-img\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"copy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the rails and templates are set, you can position the jig on the door and keep your hinge layout repeatable from slab to slab.
