SETTING TEMPLATE FOR FITTING WOOD DOORS
TO METAL JAMBS OR PREVIOUSLY MORTISED WOOD JAMBS
NOTE: Jamb gauges are available as service parts through Porter-Cable. See "JAMB GAUGES" sec-
tion for guidance.
1.
Assemble complete Hinge Butt Template as outlined previously, but do not nail to door.
NOTE: Be sure to first read through the instructions below and then guide the assembly to fit the
specific hinge size.
2.
Select correct jamb gauge (MM) Fig. 13 for size of hinge to be used and assemble to each tem-
plate section (NN) using provided screws (OO). Be sure to align the pin (not shown) on the back
of the jamb gauge into the matching hole in the template before tightening screws.
3.
Lift assembled Hinge Butt Template Fig. 14 into the jamb and fit the jamb gauge (MM), into the
previous mortise (PP) for the top hinge.
4.
Loosen thumb nut (A) Fig. 13, and adjust end gauge (E) Fig. 14, until it touches the top of the door
jamb. Tighten thumb nut securely.
5.
Keeping top template section jamb gauge mated with previous mortise, loosen rail adjustment
thumb screw (S) Fig. 14, and adjust center template section so that the jamb gauge (QQ) mates
with previous mortise (RR). Tighten thumb screw (S) securely.
6.
Keeping jamb gauges mated with mortises (PP) and (RR), adjust remaining rails and template
sections in the same manner.
7.
Transfer complete adjusted template to door, being careful not to jar it out of adjustment. Align
the end gauge to the top of the door as shown in Fig. 3. Use a straight edge (I) to align the ap-
propriate step (J) - either 1/16" or 1/8" - to the door. Drive nails into door keeping template edge
(H) Fig. 3 snug against door.
8.
Route door as outlined under ROUTING DOOR FOR HINGES.
MAKING ALLOWANCE FOR WEATHER-STRIPPING
On exterior door jamb with door stops already in place, allowance can be made for weather-stripping
by attaching correct size jamb gauge for hinge being installed to the inside of each template section
(SS) Fig. 15, before mortising the jamb. These gauges are not required when mortising the door.
