Below are the links to our tables showing standard hinge and strike locations for some manufacturers.  Note that the charts are for frame locations, with hinges measured top-down to the top of each hinge and strikes measured up from the floor (AFF) to centerline.  When using these charts to locate hinges on doors, we subtract the clearance (usually 1/8″) to get the dimension from the top of the door to the top of each hinge.  When using these charts to locate strikes on doors, we subtract the undercut to get the dimension from the bottom of the door to the centerline of the strike.
