Trend Door Stand, D/STAND/A

Great product

Great design, very sturdy and clamps well. Changing 7 doors in my house and this is just making planing the edges and routing out the hinge pockets so much easier. A great gadget

Great tool for holding doors in place when working alone. It’s sturdy and makes fitting hinges or locks much easier. The only issue is that the clamp can leave slight marks on the door if tightened too much, so using a bit of padding helps. A rubber-faced clamp would make it even better. Overall, very handy for door installation work.

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.

Fantastic bit of kit,made hanging 9 doors easy and it held door steady while you planed door down,cut out mortices and hinges,would recommend if you need to hang your own doors

Great stand, makes working on doors straight forward and safe with no risk of falling, bought it at Christmas time when item was on offer making it even better value for money.

its a good product i used this at one side of the door and a magic door grip at the other side to hold the door . In my opinion you really need at least one support. and if you are chiseling the hinges out you need two and support at the hinge height . i got my son to push against it but you could use an external corner and use the holders. it is expensive and you do get what you pay for. The magic door gripper is cheaper and a little disappointing but it does work too and i cant make up my mind if i would have bought two trend door holders . but the trend will still be working in 10 years i really doubt the magic door holder will. but if your doing ( heavy doors ) yourself the magic door griper has the advantage of gripping the door straight away . Sorry i hope this helps .

Excellent Idea and well used for many door hinges and locks, holds the door very steady.

If you mortise and machine your own doors by hand this holder works good for keeping doors stable on edge or standing up

I’ve been using this tool for a few months now, and I am glad I bought it. It works exactly as advertised, securing the doors vertically, and horizontally. This tool well made, and a necessary tool if you work on doors frequently.

Buen soporte , todo perfecto.

Steht mit dem Türblatt Stabil und Sicher. Nicht günstig aber sein Geld wert.

Great tool ,came just in time, had 5 doors to drill held the doors vertical and horizontal.
