Bearings allow these hinges to open and close doors smoothly. The mounting holes form an industry-standard half-moon shape.

A stud projects from the back of each hinge leaf to prevent the door from being forced open. The mounting holes form an industry-standard half-moon shape.

Only one cutout (mortise) is needed to mount these hinges—the offset design allows surface mounting the door leaf and mortise mounting the frame leaf.

Create precise outlines for hinge mortises (cutouts). Position the cutter on a wood door or frame and hit it with a hammer to imprint the outline.

The mounting hole pattern does not follow an industry standard, which means you can work around worn mounting holes when replacing template hinges.
