Trend D/Stand/A 32-55mm Door Stand Carpentry Tool For Hinge And Installation , Black

all good

It's a Trend product, so as you'd expect the quality is top notch. Holds the door great for drilling holes for the handle and routing for the hardware.

Great addition to my tools

Great bit of kit, much better than the Blow up wedges.

Schnell geliefert, höher Preis.

If you ever work on doors or fitted panels this stand will transform your life, making everything so much easier, faster and safer.I recently purchased a  Trend Professional Hinge Jig  and realised the second I assembled it that I should have ordered this door stand to go with it. Luckily, Amazon Prime membership minimised the delay when I put that right, and with free next day delivery I was quickly back in action.In the past I've worked on doors whilst they've been either hinged-up and wedged, or clamped in a workmate. Neither are great solutions, and the workmate is always too high for safe working. By comparison, when your door is clamped in this stand and resting on the floor at an ideal height it's entirely steady, stable, and a joy to work on. The beautiful thing about it is that your door sits right into the corner of the stand, allowing it to be effortlessly pivoted from horizontal to vertical. It makes the transition from machining to offering up and hanging that much easier and safer. Other stands don't do this, which is why this stand, although more expensive, is much better value.Build quality is excellent as usual with Trend. This is a substantial and heavy stand made from thick gauge steel that's been properly welded and well painted. It's a tool that will last an entire career! The screw-in clamp has a big rubber face so your door is protected from marking and it can hold anything up to 55mm in thickness, so more than enough for the vast majority of doors.I've used mine for routing hinge slots, planing doors to shape, sanding edges, and as a stable base whilst cutting in deep horizontal mortice locks. For all these tasks the stand has proved invaluable, and I'd never go back to working without one now.Initially I debated ordering two, one for each end, but I've used one stand to machine doors up to 2.3m high without stability issues. So in practice, unless you have very flimsy doors to work on, one stand is sufficient. It's also very handy for holding ply, mdf and other panels. If they are thin you simply need to add a nearby off-cut as a packer, before you clamp up.I really love this stand, and I wish I'd ordered one years ago. Together with the hinge jig It has revolutionised the way I work on doors and turned it from a difficult chore that I avoided into an easy task that I now enjoy. I strongly recommend you buy one if you do similar work. It makes the job a lot safer and saves a whole heap of time too. Trend Professional Hinge Jig
