Keep the door steady before the first screw
Holding a door at the right height while you line up the gap and drive hinge screws takes three hands. Nudge it and the gap changes. Support it badly and you are correcting the alignment after the screws are already in. The jig gives the door a stable resting point, so you can fit the hinges with both hands.
An extra pair of hands
Use the support platform to hold the door at the height you need while you fit the hinges. Then switch to the built-in drill guide, with the included bits, for repeatable hole positions. One compact jig, two jobs.
Fine-tune before the first screw
Small differences show up fast once several doors sit side by side. Turn the adjustment control to raise or lower the support in small steps, check the reveal against neighboring doors, then lock the setup and fasten.
Protects your finish
A non-slip, anti-scratch contact pad helps the jig stay steady without marking finished wood panels.
Support. Align. Fasten.
Jig vs. holding the door yourself
Why a support jig beats balancing every door by hand.

Before you fasten: three quick tips
1. Set the support height first. Decide the height and gap you want before the door goes on.
2. Test the drill guide on a scrap. Fit the sleeve and limit ring that match your bit, and check the hole position and depth.
3. Re-check after the first screw. Confirm the position, then finish fastening.
