SPECIFICATIONS
The Commander is KVAL’s best-selling and most flexible door machine. It automatically machines
up to four hinges and also machines for cylindrical lock or dead bolt. Since the Commander can
simultaneously route hinge jambs, it is ideal for distributors of architectural doors and residential pre-
hangers.
The Commander is designed to route and bore for lock and hinges in flush or stile and rail doors up to
2-1/4” thick by 4’ wide and 9’ long and wit a minimum width of 18”. It also accommodates raised
panels or molding up to ¾” thick. The jamb clamping system compensates for jamb thickness and will
accept flat, split and rabbeted jambs up to 1-1/2” thick with a 5/8” stop, or 1-7/8” thick overall. There
is no limitation on jamb width.
Hinge Routing: Automatic hinge-routing unit accommodates both ¼” and 5/8” radius hinges up to 5-
1/2” utilizing turret-stop adjustments. Hinge centers are adjusted by positioning collars on a removable
plug-in shaft below the router and sliding jamb clamping fixtures into position. Extra shafts may be set
up and “plugged in” for rapid hinge center adjustments. During the routing sequence the router
automatically travels along the removable shaft to each collar and dapps the pocket. Full hinges up to
4” X 4” can be attached to the doors and jambs.
Lock: Face bore is adjustable from 2-3/8” to a 5” backset. The faceplate is adjustable for square or
bevel up to 3-1/2 degrees from 1” X 2-1/4” up to 1-1/4” X 12”. Self-Centering clamp system ensures
accurate latch and faceplate machining regardless of door thickness. Both drill motors feature Accu-
flex collet chucks so standard straight shank tooling may be used.
