When gaining hinges with a router template how should the template be placed?

Equal distance down on door and jamb.
3 mm (D") lower on door than on jamb.
3 mm (D") lower on jamb than door.
3 mm (D") higher on jamb than door

The correct answer is: 3 mm (D") lower on jamb than door.

When using a router template to gain hinges, the template should be placed 3 mm lower on the jamb than on the door. This is because the jamb is typically thinner than the door, so placing the template lower on the jamb will ensure that the hinges are properly aligned when the door is closed. Options A and B are not correct because they do not account for the difference in thickness between the door and the jamb. Option D is also incorrect because it suggests placing the template higher on the jamb, which would result in improperly aligned hinges. By placing the template 3 mm lower on the jamb than on the door, you can ensure that the hinges will be properly aligned for smooth and secure door operation.
