Soss 220IT Router Guide Template for 220 Hinges

Product Description

The SOSS UIP ALLEGION 220IT is a router guide template designed for accurate mortising of SOSS 220 series invisible hinges. This jig provides a repeatable cutting guide so installers can rout precise hinge pockets into door edges and frames without freehand layout. The template indexes directly to the workpiece, reducing setup time and minimizing the risk of misaligned mortises. At 17.1 inches in length, 3.8 inches in width, and 1.8 inches in height, it is sized specifically to match the geometry of the 220 hinge series. Door and millwork installers, cabinetmakers, and finish carpenters are the primary users of this accessory.

This router guide template is used when installing SOSS 220 series concealed hinges on interior doors, cabinet doors, and architectural millwork applications. It is sold as a single unit and is intended for use in both residential and light commercial settings where invisible hinges are specified. The template ensures each mortise is cut to the correct depth profile and outline required by the 220 hinge series, making it a necessary accessory for consistent, professional results across multiple installations.

Key Features

• Designed specifically for mortising SOSS 220 series invisible hinges
• Length of 17.1 inches accommodates full hinge-pocket routing in a single setup
• Narrow 3.8-inch width fits standard door edge profiles
• Low-profile 1.8-inch height allows easy router base clearance
• Sold individually as a single unit
• Reduces layout error and speeds up repeated hinge installations

Compatibility

Designed for use with the SOSS 220 series invisible hinges. Confirm hinge series before ordering, as router guide templates are not interchangeable across different SOSS hinge model numbers.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a finish carpenter, cabinetmaker, or door hardware installer using a plunge router fitted with the appropriate straight bit. Secure the template firmly to the door edge or frame before routing to prevent shifting during the cut. Always disconnect power to any adjacent electrical components and follow applicable local building codes when working on door assemblies. Do not use this template with hinge series other than the 220, as mortise geometry will not match.
