The Kreg jig is best for adjustable placement, GOINGMAKE and GQGP offer metal 35mm hinge-drilling setups, Imbot is suited to different door thicknesses, and King&Charles is a portable choice for general cabinet hardware holes.

Kreg Concealed Hinge Jig
The Kreg Concealed Hinge Jig is designed to bore 35mm cup holes for European-style concealed hinges. Its carbide-tipped, four-cutter bit and stop collar are intended to help control the hole depth while drilling with a hand drill.
Best for: DIYers who need to position hinge cups at different offsets. The adjustable settings support 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, and 6mm hinge offsets, making this a flexible option for marking cabinet doors. It was selected for its dedicated hinge-cup purpose and stated adjustment range.
Consider: This jig is specified for 35mm cup holes. Confirm the hinge’s cup size and required placement before drilling; the listed features do not describe dust collection.
GOINGMAKE Metal Concealed Hinge Jig
This metal jig has a 35mm carbide-tipped bit, built-in double bearings, a quick clamp, and an adjustable drilling depth described as 0–0.6 inch. Its dust bracket is made to connect to a 1⅜-inch vacuum hose.
Best for: Woodworkers who want a clamped hinge-hole guide with a dust-collection connection. The metal construction and bearing-supported design are listed as features intended to make drilling more stable. It is included for combining 35mm cup drilling, depth adjustment, and vacuum hookup in one tool.
Consider: Check whether your vacuum hose is 1⅜ inches and whether the hinge’s required depth suits the jig’s stated range. The product listing does not specify a broader range of door thicknesses.
GQGP Metal 35mm Hinge Jig
The GQGP jig uses an aluminum-alloy body, built-in double bearings, and a quick clip to hold the guide in place. The package is described as including a 35mm hole saw and a 2mm drill bit. Its stated door-material thickness range is 12–25mm, with a 5mm distance from the hole to the edge.
Best for: Buyers whose cabinet doors fall within the stated 12–25mm thickness range and who want a clamp-style guide. It was selected because the listing provides specific material and edge-distance details that can help with planning.
Consider: Verify the door thickness and hinge layout before purchasing or drilling. The stated 5mm edge distance may not match every hinge or cabinet-door design.
Imbot Adjustable Cabinet Door Jig
The Imbot jig features a dual-hole drilling guide and an aluminum-alloy body. The listed compatible door thickness range is 7–40mm, and the tool weighs 219 grams. The product is described for framed and frameless doors.
Best for: Projects involving doors with varied thicknesses, especially when a wider stated thickness range matters. Its dual-hole locator is intended to simplify alignment, so it may suit users who want a guide rather than measuring each hole position from scratch.
Consider: The listing does not identify the hole diameter or specify that the guide makes a 35mm hinge-cup hole. Confirm that its hole pattern and dimensions match your hinge or hardware before choosing it for concealed hinges.
King&Charles Cabinet Hardware Jig Set
This set includes a cabinet hardware jig, an automatic center punch, metric and imperial scales, detachable drill-guide sliders, and a storage bag. The center punch marks a starting point before drilling, which can help keep a drill bit from wandering from the marked position.
Best for: Users laying out general cabinet hardware holes who value a portable template and center-punch step. It was selected as a useful alternative to dedicated hinge-cup jigs for projects that require repeatable hardware positioning.
Consider: The listed features do not specify a 35mm hinge-cup bit or confirm suitability for boring concealed hinge cups. Choose a dedicated 35mm jig when that specific hole is required.
Buying Guide: How To Choose A Cabinet Door Hole Jig
Do you need a 35mm concealed hinge hole?
Start by checking the hinge manufacturer’s required cup diameter, depth, and edge placement. For a 35mm cup hole, choose a jig explicitly designed for 35mm drilling, such as the Kreg, GOINGMAKE, or GQGP models here. A general hardware template may position screw holes without boring the large hinge cup.
Will the jig fit your door thickness?
Compare the door’s measured thickness with the tool’s stated range. GQGP lists 12–25mm, while Imbot lists 7–40mm. The other product details provided do not state an equivalent thickness range, so confirm requirements before starting the job.
Which setup features matter?
- Adjustable placement: Kreg lists four hinge-offset settings.
- Clamping and stability: GOINGMAKE and GQGP describe quick-clamp features; both also list double bearings.
- Dust management: GOINGMAKE lists a bracket for a 1⅜-inch vacuum hose.
- General hardware layout: King&Charles provides scales and a center punch for marking hole locations.
Before drilling, mark the door orientation, check the hinge instructions, and test the jig setup on scrap material if available. Keep the door secured and verify the hole location and depth before making a permanent cut.
