How many do you have to do? Most of us use an MDF board with a cutout, then use router and bush. It's quick, dead accurate and zero cost!

Couldn't you just make up several of the 'basic' hinge jigs, then screw these into position on a kind of story stick (a piece of batten would do), relative to the old hinge positions on the frame? If all the frames are different (and presumably the y are), then you could easily reconfigure your jig to suit each frame.
Wow - I made that about as clear as mud!

On my jig I've scribed a couple of lines, it[s clear plastic, all I have to do is align those marks with the marks transferred from the frame and I know then that the router will cut the hinge rebate in the correct location.
Takes longer to explain than execute!

Try a mallet. Hammer and chisel not a good combination. Hammer is strictly for screws (more or less). :roll:Carlow52":1n3hfdbd said:Thanks for replies.
My hammer and chisel skills are poor to bad...
Sounds more and more like a hand tool job - and you need the practice! Seriously though, a router could be more trouble than it's worth.The door is an external door so it needs to be done as quickly as possible, am trying to keep existing door as its loaded with locks and has been cut at an angle to cater for a sloping tiled floor, the frame has been chewed by termites.
