A decent quality mid level 3/8" overlay hinge.What more can be said, it does what it should do.The $8.95 shipping from Woodworkers Hardware is garenteeed to leave a sour taste in your mouth though.Even more so when you figure out that Woodworkers Hardware only charges $6.95 shipping when you order directly from them...

Classic Engineering 10800 Boring Jig Kit Review
Dozens of doors--it never fails. Handles all common backsets and diameters.
Do order the smaller-diameter spade bits for the edge bore. The standard 1" is a bit large for some lock fronts. 15/16" and 7/8" are available from boringjigs.com, Classic Engineering's website. Also available: carbide bits for cross boring.
The bits are actually driven by the drill via a quick disconnect adapter. You chuck up the adapter and then hook up to the bits, both of which have to mounted into the jig before you mount the jig onto the door. Get the adapter with the 1/2" shaft. The 3/8" shaft can do the job but there is a lot of torque cutting a 2-1/8" lock bore and the 3/8" adapter shaft can bend. The 1/2" adapter shaft is very stout.
This device works from the edge and one side. You don't have to bore from both sides of the door. Also, bore the edge bore to full depth first. That way there is less material for the 2-1/8" bit to remove and it goes faster.
I like to use my 1/2" Milwaukee Hole-Hawg drill. The two speeds and excellent power really go. High speed for the edge bore, low for the cross bore.

Amerock Decorative Half Wrap 1/2" Overlay Self Closing Cabinet Door Hinge Oil Rubbed Brass Review
Very happy with the hinges.The company supplied me with a couple more than I needed and included more than enough of the little door dampeners so they shut quietly.I used a spring loaded punch to mark the holes before installing screws.They look fantastic and were easy to install along with being the best deal on the web.

Global CPS4550ADJ-USPM Commercial Grade, Full Mortise Spring Hinge 2-Pack, Cast Steel Review
The description reads "This three knuckle hinge is adjustable and the spring tension can be increased or decreased by using the included adjusting tool.". I received this item today and no adjusting tool was included as indicated it would be nor did it come with any instructions on how to adjust these hinges. The picture shown looks nothing like the actual product that I received and I can't help but wonder how you adjust these things. Be forwarned that the actual hinge part of this item is twice as wide and one third longer than what is shown in the picture.

Milwaukee 49-54-0101 Door/Jamb Butt Router Template Kit Review
I was initially excited about this set (enough to have it over-nighted), upon landing a contract to install 55 wood slab blanks.Although it appears decent enough to get the job done (and easier than using a tape measure alone), I was THOROUGHLY disappointed with the quality of this product!It (1 hinge section) broke during the first use!Even the 'steel' case is made from the same 'pot metal' we've been sold and have become accustomed to when originating in China.EVERY piece in this set is sub-standard quality and reeks of eminent failure if you're planning this tool for daily use!I use Milwaukee products daily, and have been not only a fan, but a serious proponent for YEARS! I have been praising their tools to contractors nationwide!I have not only been scorned by, but have CONVERTED hard core DeWal* (You know who users!), when comparing the tools side-by-side!I'm now sorry to say that I found out that THEY too (Milwaukee) have sold out the manufacturing of some of their items to a foreign country for a higher profit margin in exchange for an exponentially reduced QUALITY product.(DeWal* tried this by subbing out the manufacturing and assembly portions to Mexico!Now their products CONSISTANTLY rank amongst the lowest in quality, accuracy, AND longevity!Think I'm kidding?G00gle the DW718 vs. the DW708 and you'll see what I mean!)Before ANY future purchase, I will request the "Country of Origin" label before I commit to buy...Sad, sad thing MILWAUKEE...

Global CP3535-7B-M Full Mortise Plain Bearing Hinge, 2-Pack, Ebony Black Review
What can I say. There isn't much that can be said except that these are heavy duty hinges. Not at all flimsy. You can hang solid wood doors, metal doors, etc and not worry that the hinges will fail. I used them for doors to the furnace room and they are a bit of overkill but I was tired of lighter hinges that constantly failed and allowed these doors to droop all of the time. These hinges will be there long after the doors have turned to dust.

I purchased this item to replace previously installed Kwikset locks. The locks were originally installed by the builder over 20 years ago.

I would highly reccommend them for anyone especially if you are replacing older kwikset locks.

Global CP3535-5/810B-M Full Mortise Plain Bearing Hinge, 5/8-Inch Radius, 2-Pack, Satin Bronze Review
Having several years of experience in Real Estate, I know that small details can make a world of difference. I went through my entire house built in 1983 and replaced EVERY doorknob, EVERY light fixture, EVERY switch plate and EVERY hinge. It didn't cost a lot of money, and I just installed a few every week until I was done. No more brass, or painted over knobs to date my home. These hinges are cheap, easy to install and look great.

Amerock PK3175TB-G10 Hinge Full Inset Full Wrap Ball Tip Satin Nickel, 3/4-Inch Door Thickness Review
I'll start my review by stating that I prefer fully concealed inset hinges with built-in adjustability.However, due to my own error when building a bathroom vanity and linen closet, I did not leave enough room to use the style I prefer and I chose these hinges instead.The design is quite simple and installation was pretty straightforward.My primary complaint is adjustability.While the design of the hinge allows for both vertical and horizontal adjustment, it is quite cumbersome, especially with oversized doors.Nonetheless, the quality and price of the hinge is satisfactory.

Milescraft 1215 Strike Door Plate Mortising Kit Review
Just finished using this kit on 11 doors and in general it worked great.A few minor things to point out.First, the router bit that was included with mine was dull and burned a lot.Had to changed to another router bit and then no problems.The nails that are included also leaves a little to be desired.Recommend that Milescraft include extra nails.Also, the plastic inserts are easy to pop out.Hold on to them when you are removing the kit from the door.
Main problem that I had was that the kit will not fit a jamb that has the casing already installed.I had to use an alternative method to mortise the strike plate.The thickness cams are too thick and will not allow the kit to sit flat on the jamb.
The kit does a great job of positioning to the center of a door.I tried a Porter Cable kit and it WILL NOT center on the door - stay away from this one.
This kit came close to a 5-star.

EZ HINGE SHIM 3.5" WHT [Misc.] Review
These shims work like a charm.I had previously paid a handyman to do the job; he used cardboard, which soon compressed enough to put the door right back where it started.I replaced his cardboard with these shims, and voila! problem solved.And I was able to do it myself.Seller delivered these very quickly and I would definitely recommend this seller.

Satin Nickel 4 X 1/4 Radius Spring Hinges Review
I needed self closing hinges for an exterior door in a satin nickel finish.Couldn't find any at the local hardware stores so bought on line.These came quickly, UL listed, work beautifully.Easy to adjust and better quality than the self closing hinges at Home Depot (in a different finish).Very happy with the purchase.Even the screws are more solid than those packaged with other exterior door hinges I have purchased in the past.

Mintcraft Znc Adjustable Sprg Hinge Doorcloser LR107 Review
I've used these on my bathrrom doors for years. My cat has to be in the room with me every second. I have a bathroom heater that is so nice on figid mornings. However, after I push the door shut to allow the room to heat up, he opens it and all the nice warm air escapes. Now he pushes the door open, enters and the door gently closes. And once he is in, he can hook his paw on the door and pull it open to get out. It's a win-win situation!!

I looked at hinges that werenot as nice at a local hardware store and they were in excess of $25. Don't hesitate to order if you are looking for stainless steel, commercial quality hinges!!

Amerock Full Inset Partial Wrap Free Swinging Ball Tip Hinge For 3/4" Doors Oil Rubbed Bronze Single Review
I looked for several months trying to find a hinge that could repair my computer desk door. I discovered this hinge on another site at two to three times the cost.I did a google search on the product and found amazon had it at over half the cost.I was unsure of using an unknown site to purchase my hinges and was did not hesitate to order it from a trusted vendor. I was a bit disappointed that the shipping cost doubled the price but it was still cheaper than anywhere else.The product arrived quickly and a couple days later another package of drawer sliders from the same company. We called them and they sent ups to pick it up the next day.Overall a great transaction.

Porter-Cable 59381 Hinge Butt Template Kit Review
I recently took delivery of this hinge template and am very happy with it's performance. I couldn't decide which template to buy - this one or the Bosch - and went with this one when I found out that Bosch won't work with other brand routers.
Set-up of this template is very easy once you become familar with the components. I have been struggling with the ABS Porter Cable hinge template (around $20). This works fine for the occasional door, but this template is a huge timesaver. First, it allows you to cut all hinge mortises with one set-up - no more moving the template for each hinge, measuring and re-measuring etc. Secondly, the template transfers directly from door to jamb and vice-versa, meaning a perfect match every time.
The only weak points are that the included but is high-speed steel rather that carbide tipped, and that the included guide bushing will cut mortises for 1/4" radius hinges only. Other radii require an additional guide bushing and bit. It would also be helpful if the thickness (height) of this template was the same as the ABS Porter Cable latch mortise template so that you could use both templates without changing your router set-up.
Overall, I definitely recommend this tool for anyone hanging more than an occasional door.
