Description

Hanging a cabinet door alone means holding it level with one hand and driving screws with the other. The Cabinet Door Mounting Jig is the third hand. It clamps to the cabinet and carries the door at the height you set, adjustable from 0 to 2.5 in, while both of your hands go to the hinges.

It handles framed and frameless cabinets and left- and right-hand doors. The clamp opens from 3/8 to 2-15/16 in, and rubber pads keep it from slipping or marking the finish. For full-overlay doors, the removable edge pin sets the door position with no measuring. Pull the pin out for other door styles.

Its body is CNC-machined aluminum with larger support arms, so it stays square while the door hangs on it. Set it for the first door and keep the setting. Every door along a row of base cabinets then lands on the same line, and the gaps between doors match.

Questions

Questions about the GOINGMAKE Cabinet Door Mounting Jig

Does the GOINGMAKE door mounting jig work on your frameless cabinets?

Yes. It works on framed and frameless cabinets and on left- and right-hand doors. The clamp opens from 3/8 to 2-15/16 in, and rubber pads protect the finish.

How do you hang full-overlay doors with the GOINGMAKE mounting jig?

Leave the edge pin in place. It sets the door position for full-overlay doors, so you set the height once and drive the hinge screws without measuring each door.

Hinge cups are drilled and hinge mortises are routed: both go best with the work clamped and your eyes covered.
