Soss 208IT Router Guide Template 208 Series Hinges

Product Description

The SOSS UIP ALLEGION 208IT is a router guide template designed for accurate mortise routing when installing 208 series invisible hinges. It provides a fixed reference for router bit travel, ensuring consistent mortise depth and profile across multiple installations. Door and cabinet installers use this template to eliminate layout errors and speed up the mortising process. The 208IT measures 12.7 inches in length, 3.5 inches in width, and 3.4 inches in height, making it a compact and manageable layout tool for jobsite or shop use. Sold individually.

This template is intended for use with 208 series invisible hinges on interior door and cabinet applications. It is suited for both residential and light commercial millwork where concealed hinges are specified. Finish carpenters and cabinet installers typically use it in shop settings before installation or directly on-site when fitting pre-hung door assemblies requiring flush, invisible hardware.

Key Features

• Designed specifically for use with 208 series invisible hinges
• Provides repeatable, accurate mortise routing across multiple hinge locations
• Compact profile at 12.7 x 3.5 x 3.4 inches for easy handling and storage
• Lightweight at 0.6 pounds, reducing fatigue during extended use

Compatibility

Designed for use with SOSS 208 series invisible hinges. Verify hinge series before ordering, as router guide templates are model-specific and will not provide correct mortise geometry for other hinge series.

Installation Notes

This template is a routing aid used by finish carpenters and cabinet installers prior to hinge installation. Secure the template firmly to the door or frame edge before routing to prevent movement and ensure mortise accuracy. Use a router and straight bit appropriate for the mortise depth required by the 208 series hinge. Follow the hinge manufacturer's instructions for final mortise dimensions and hinge seating.
