For square corner hinges after a routerd mortise, a chisel or a square
cutting tool will do the corners.

Could it make sense to use pre-hung doors?
If you're just getting slabs then it's hard to see
how you might really save time with a jig. Chiselling
out a mortise isn't really all that time consuming.



For starters, I've never chiseled out mortises. I've always used a
router. Therefore, I don't want to start practicing on someone else new
doors nor want to do 9 of them when it'll require some time for me with
just one.

Prehung doors are out of the question, she already bought the doors. But
even so, I'd rather drill and mortise 9 doors than remove the entire
door and jamb then reinstall 9 new ones.
