Trend Hinge and Lock Corner Chisel

The Trend Hinge and Lock Corner Chisel is a specialist hand tool designed to convert rounded router recesses into clean, precise square corners using a hammer.

When routing hinge recesses or lock faceplates, the resulting corners are typically rounded. This tool solves that problem quickly and accurately, making it ideal for carpenters and joiners fitting door hinges, squaring hinge recesses in door frames and door edges, and finishing lock faceplate mortises.

The chisel features a spring-loaded high speed steel (HSS) anvil that delivers a sharp, clean cut on each strike, while the lightweight aluminium body keeps the tool easy to handle and manoeuvre in tight positions. The HSS construction also means the cutting edge can be resharpened when required, extending the working life of the tool.

Compatible with the Trend Hinge Jig, this chisel integrates neatly into an established routing and fitting workflow for professional door hanging.
