Parallel hydraulic hinge HCKT TEMPLATE GTV K=3MM

3D-Printed Drilling Template for GTV HCKT Hydraulic Parallel Hinges

A 3D-printed drilling template is a practical accessory designed to simplify and speed up the marking and drilling of mounting holes required for installing GTV HCKT hydraulic parallel hinges. The template ensures accuracy, repeatability, and proper alignment during furniture assembly.

Purpose and Function

The main purpose of the template is to precisely position the hinge cup and screw holes on cabinet doors and side panels according to the hinge’s technical specifications. By placing the template on the workpiece, the user can quickly mark or drill holes without the need for manual measurements each time.

Key Features

Precise Hole Positioning
The template is designed to match the standard 35 mm hinge cup and the exact spacing of the mounting screw holes used by GTV HCKT hinges. This guarantees correct hinge placement and smooth door operation.

Consistent Alignment
Reference edges on the template align with the edge of the door or cabinet panel, ensuring consistent setback distance and parallel positioning for every hinge installation.

3D-Printed Construction
Manufactured using durable plastic (such as PLA, PETG, or ABS), the template is:

Lightweight

Easy to handle

Resistant to repeated workshop use

Drilling and Marking Support
The template can be used to:

Mark drilling points with a pencil or awl

Guide drill bits for pilot holes

Center a Forstner bit for drilling the 35 mm cup hole

Repeatability and Efficiency
Ideal for series production or DIY furniture projects, the template allows fast, repeatable drilling with identical results on multiple doors.
