If you install aluminium profile cabinet shutters regularly, the Ebco Hinge Drilling Template for HAP is one of those small shop tools that saves you from big headaches. It’s a simple 1:1 drilling guide designed to mark and position hinge holes accurately on both the shutter and carcass — and that means fewer measurement slips and a lot less rework when you’re fitting profile hinges on site.

Here’s the thing — hinge alignment isn’t forgiving. Even a couple of millimetres off and the door won’t sit right. This plastic drilling template gives you fixed reference points so your HAP aluminium profile hinges line up clean, whether you’re batch drilling in the workshop or doing a quick install in someone’s kitchen. It’s lightweight, dead simple to use, and honestly the kind of jig you’ll keep within arm’s reach once you start using it.

Key Features:

• 1:1 Marking Layout - Gives direct-size drilling references so you don’t waste time converting measurements.
• Dual Surface Positioning - Helps mark both shutter and cabinet sides accurately for proper hinge alignment.
• Lightweight Plastic Body - Easy to carry in a tool bag and quick to place without adding setup time.
• Fast Repeat Drilling - Speeds up multi-door jobs by keeping every hinge location consistent.
• Profile Hinge Compatibility - Built specifically for aluminium profile hinge systems used in modular furniture.

Applications

In practice, this tool shines during modular kitchen installation, wardrobe assembly, and shopfitting work where aluminium frame shutters are common. If you’re drilling for concealed profile hinges on multiple doors, the template keeps spacing uniform so the doors close flush and adjust easily later. And that matters a lot on a job site when deadlines are tight and clients expect clean panel gaps.

Why Choose This Model

What really stands out is the job-site practicality. There’s nothing fancy here — just a purpose-built Ebco system-matched template that does exactly what a working carpenter or installer needs. No fiddly calibration, no complex setup. Put it in place, mark, drill, move on. And when you’re handling several shutters in one day, that straightforward workflow saves real labour time and keeps mistakes from stacking up.
