The Frameless Hinge Jig is the latest in a long line of "glazier inspired" tools that makes the installation of a wall mounted door more rapid and increases the accuracy of the hinge placement. The jig has been designed to accommodate many different hinge wall mount plate designs and, in doing so, acts as a template for marking the wall for drilling holes.
The current standard process for putting a frameless shower door into an opening involves mounting the hinges on the door glass, setting the glass into the opening, aligning the door to the right position and marking the wall through the holes in the wall mount plate. The door is then removed and the holes are drilled. At this point, most installers remove the hinges from the door and permanently fasten them to the wall. The Frameless Door Jig eliminates this arduous step and allows the installer to simply place the tool in the opening and mark the wall for drilling. The Frameless Door Jig comes equipped with a folding straight edge that supports two adjustable hinge plates used for marking the wall.
The installation steps are simple: Measure the location of the notches in the door glass. Measure from the bottom of the door glass to the center of the notches and make note of the dimensions. Add the clearance below the door to your dimensions. Select the correct drill jig and place it into the tool. Adjust the sliding jig locator to the correct dimensions previously noted. Stand the jig up in the opening and plumb the tool. Now simply mark the holes on the wall for the appropriate hinge you are using. Drill the holes and mount the hinges to the wall, and hang your door.
