I USE A ROUTER AND A DOOR HANGING JIG TO CUT THE MORTISES FOR THE HINGES FOR THE FRONT DOOR. THIS JIG REALLY SPEEDS UP THE DOOR HANGING. ONCE PROPERLY SET, YOU DON'T EVEN NEED A TAPE MEASURE TO INSTALL THE HINGES. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS IT LEAVES ROUND CORNERS. WHICH YOU CAN EASILY OVER COME BY USING ROUND CORNER HINGES, OR TAKE A FEW MINUTES AND SQUARE THE CORNERS WITH A CHISEL, AND USE SQUARE CORNER HINGES.
I PREFER THE LATTER, I DON'T LIKE THE LOOK OF HINGES WITH ROUND CORNERS. I THINK IT CHEAPENS THE LOOK OF THE DOOR, AND ULTIMATELY THE HOUSE.
