Cabinet Door Templates

Cabinet door templates guide a router or shaper to cut accurate arched, cathedral, or straight-top frame profiles on door rails. They ensure that every door in a set has a consistent, repeatable curve without custom layout work on each piece.

The standard Frame Panel Master is designed for router use only. The Heavy Duty HD series supports both routers and shapers, uses thicker, more rigid template material, and accepts interchangeable HD template sets for production environments.

Yes, but only the Heavy Duty HD series is rated for shaper use. Templates labeled Router Use Only should not be used with a shaper, as shaper spindle torque and speeds can damage lighter template materials.

The templates are guides only — router bits are sold separately. Pair them with the appropriate door-making router bits, such as rail-and-stile sets or raised panel bits, to complete the door frame profile.

Yes. The Heavy Duty Frame Panel Master with door templates is well suited for the larger panel sizes typical of exterior and interior passage doors. Be sure to choose a template set sized for your door dimensions.

The available template profiles include standard arched tops and cathedral (double arch) tops. Consult each product listing for the specific arc radius and door-size range each template accommodates.

Yes. Templates significantly simplify arched door making by eliminating freehand layout and one-off jig building. A beginner comfortable with basic router table operations can produce consistent results. The Infinity Tools blog has door-making guides to help get started.

Bundles like the Heavy Duty Frame Panel Master with Door Templates are the most cost-effective starting point if you do not already own the master fixture. Individual templates are a better value if you already own a compatible master and just need additional profile options.

Door-making templates work well alongside hinge-mortising jigs and setup blocks. Browse the full router jigs and guides collection for hinge templates and other door-related fixtures.
