The template guides a router to produce clean, precise mortises in door edges and frames, eliminating guesswork and reducing installation time. At 17 inches long, 3.9 inches wide, and 1.8 inches tall, it provides a stable footprint for consistent depth and alignment across multiple installs. Weighing 0.5 pounds, it is lightweight enough to maneuver on vertical work surfaces without fatigue. Carpenters, millwork installers, and finish contractors rely on this type of template when fitting concealed hinges into custom doors and frames where clean routing is critical to proper hinge function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis template is suited for residential and commercial door installations where SOSS 216 series invisible hinges are specified. It is commonly used in cabinetry, entry doors, interior passage doors, and specialty millwork applications where the finished appearance requires the hinge to be completely hidden when the door is closed. The template is sold individually and is intended for use with a handheld router and appropriate straight bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned specifically for mortising SOSS 216 series invisible hinges\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTemplate length of 17 inches supports full hinge mortise in a single setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWidth of 3.9 inches and height of 1.8 inches provide stable registration on door edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.5 pounds for ease of use on vertical and horizontal surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold individually — one template per order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with SOSS 216 series invisible hinges.

Secure the template firmly to the door edge or frame with clamps before routing to prevent movement during the cut. Use a sharp, correctly sized straight router bit and make multiple shallow passes to reach final mortise depth rather than a single deep cut. Always wear appropriate eye and hearing protection when operating a router.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.9 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSales Unit\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SOSS \/ UIP ALLEGION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 216IT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SOSS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51560407335218,"sku":"216IT","price":46.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5c9d93871b24b4ecc20c6c978b4922eb_a704b89d-57a6-469d-a030-8c87e41325cd.jpg?v=1786452310","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/soss-216it-router-guide-template-for-216-hinges","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
