Soss 212IT Router Guide Template for 212 Hinges

Product Description

The SOSS UIP ALLEGION 212IT is a router guide template designed to simplify the mortising process when installing SOSS 212 series invisible hinges. The template provides a precise routing pattern, ensuring consistent and accurate mortise cuts in door edges and frames. It is a dedicated layout and cutting guide intended for use by finish carpenters, millwork installers, and door hardware professionals who regularly install concealed hinge systems. The 212IT measures 4 inches in length and 17.5 inches in width, making it well-suited for bench or job-site use during door prep work.

This router template is intended for use with the SOSS 212 hinge series in residential and light commercial door applications. It is typically used when mortising wood or composite door stiles and frames to accept invisible hinges, where a clean, repeatable cut is required across multiple units. Installers working on custom cabinetry, interior passage doors, or architectural millwork will find this template useful for maintaining consistent mortise depth and position across a run of doors.

Installation Notes

This template is used during door prep prior to hinge installation and should be secured firmly to the door stile or frame before routing to prevent movement. A licensed finish carpenter or experienced door hardware installer should operate the router with an appropriate straight-cut bit matched to the required mortise depth. Always disconnect power to any electrical door hardware systems before beginning door preparation work. Follow applicable local building codes and manufacturer hinge installation instructions for final hardware mounting.
