How to Remove a Door. How to Remove a Hinge Pin.

[@cbcutiepatutie]

Shane, one of the best DIY videos I have ever seen. Can't beat your straightforward yet friendly approach.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Cheers for that...appreciate the comment :-)

[@zackieboy]

Your knowledge and experience helped me so much. I don't think I could've removed the hinge pins from one of my really old doors without your pliers trick. I should add, I liberally sprayed WD40 on the hinges as I worked, and I think that helped. Invaluable info presented here, my good sir!

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Cheers mate. I appreciate you taking the time to leave me some feedback :-)

[@PerfectPencil]

Thanks for this video. I know its forever old but its super helpful. I thought it was way more complicated than it was and you're absolutely right, a few dozen coats of paint and things aren't as simple as a new hinge. Hammering the wrench was one of those "Oh, duh" moments for me. Thanks.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

No worries at all 👍

[@0617kitty]

It's ok now. I took out the bottom hinge pin out 1st, then put in the middle one. Then I put in the bottom one at the end. Thanks again for the video.

[@FixitFingers]

It's amazing how far tools have come in 10 years when looking at that old power planer. Also, how these old videos are still super relevant and useful 👍👍

[@diyforknuckleheads]

😂....That old Ozito did some work mate.....only died just recently...very sad day 👍😁🇦🇺

[@jonmobrien]

Ozito's get the job done, same end result as brands costing 5 times the amount. At least in my home shed where I might use something once in 10 years

[@Furball2k]

*Thumbs Up* the painters tape protecting your door is a great step too many people omit, thanks for the tip about planing down from the top to protect your edge... I did not know that! My question is what if you are having this same problem but it's on a metal door with tamper resistant security hinges??? Thanks Knackers!!!

[@grutta08]

Awesome job, was just starting to sand my door but think I have to take it off and lay it flat, so awesome tips here, thanks!

[@laurencebannister]

You little ripper! Now me door opens and shuts like a little beauty. Definitely earned a big thumbs up and a subscriber. Cheers.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Well done Laurence and thanks for the feedback and the sub! Much appreciated! 👍😁

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Well done mate, glad it worked out for you. Cheers.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Glad you sorted it out. Cheers

[@Ruvimbobambino]

Yeah! This works beautifully. Also, I didn't have a nail punch so I used a small enough Alan key to tap from the bottom.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

+Alexandra Harper The Allen Key was a good choice Alexandra. I've used one before myself. Cheers :-)

[@azcinch]

Great job thanks for the video. My door works so much better now.

[@marycrisp177]

Joseph Harland Great Tip Joseppphhhh !!

[@ellenbarker818]

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Well done Ellen.

[@JoelMielke]

Clever, helpful (and entertaining). Thanks!

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Thanks azinch. I'm glad l could help. Cheers mate

[@lastone032085]

Thank you for the video. It helped me big time. I got the pins out and now I have no more god awful sqeaking whenever it opens and closes.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

No worries Iastone. Glad l could help. Cheers

[@zendragondrew]

Not only was this useful, but his accent is excellent!!

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Glad you found it useful Andrew 👍😁

[@johnb1765]

Thanks for the tips. Video helped a ton.

[@VirberelloScooterTips]

Thank you for making this video Keep up the excellent work.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Thanks mate. Glad you found it useful! 👍😁

[@0617kitty]

Thank you very much!! Now I can order the couch I want after u remove my old doors.

[@edwardwomble5707]

Just a minor addition:As others pointed out, WD-40 or penetrating oil are both quite useful for freeing up stubborn hinge pins. If you remove a hinge pin and find any rust on it, remove it with steel wool and lubricate the pin with a silicone spray lubricant before re-installing.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

+Edward Womble Good tip Edward. Thanks for sharing. Cheers

[@omnichronos007]

Thank you Uncle Knackers! You can't have a more Aussie name then Uncle Knackers lol. Anyway, thanks for your simple, yet complete instructions.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Hahahahahha....thanks for watching Julio :-)

[@goodlad13]

Great video. Now I know how to fix 2 doors in my house the installers stuffed up. Thank you! :)

[@diyforknuckleheads]

No worries Goodlad. Glad to help. Cheers mate

[@Furball2k]

Well here's how I approached the problem: I loosened the hinges at the bottom and replaced the top screws with longer screws that could bite into the jam better than the old ones. My door no longer sticks and does not catch on the tile like it used to... I suspect over the years the door just got a little out of whack from constant use but I wanted to know if there was a more professional way of correcting this? I also wished I would have known your painters tape trick before had to repaint :p

[@How2dostuff-]

Great lesson cheers 🍻

[@diyforknuckleheads]

No worries mate! Thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺

[@tedwardp262]

Well that worked! Thanks for the tip!

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Tedward p No worries Tedward. Glad l could help. Cheers

[@Carmatalie]

You're a bloody legend. Thanks heaps!

[@ianhogan7605]

Great tips and videos, Shane. The only thing missing was a mate to put his fingers in your ears while planing. :-)

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Thanks Ian 👍👍

[@MCspeedy22]

[@diyforknuckleheads]

That would be nice :-) Cheers MCspeedy

[@lanemortensen1952]

Great tips!

[@diyforknuckleheads]

+Lane Mortensen Thanks Lane :-)

[@BinhNguyen-ff5cj]

Good job mate

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Furball old mate, not a lot of joy in this one. I'd love to help you out but without seeing the problem in person it's going to be hard to give you a solution. Maybe your first point of call would be to youtube how to remove those security hinges. Let me know how you go. Cheers, Uncle Knackers. By the way, thanks for your comments. Much appreciated.

[@tonykellylushen]

NICE TIPS

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Thanks mate.

[@0617kitty]

Hi Shanecolan1, I got all 3 hinge pins out, but can't put the middle one back because the hinge in the door and the door frame don't line up. What can I do?

[@escape2064]

Thank u

[@diyforknuckleheads]

👍👍

[@Vgallo]

I can’t get to the bottom pin, it’s too close to the ground and I removed all the other pins first. But I do have the door closed so there won’t be any weight on it?

[@els6565]

thanks, im going to try it, saw my husband use the hammer before, just dont know how exactly he used it to remove the door from hinges.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Good luck Elvie. Cheers

[@RoscoPColetraneIII]

He's not joking about wearing eye protection. Tools that are made to be struck by a hammer are always hardened steel. When a piece of hardened steel breaks off, it does so with unbelievable power. It will likely puncture skin, and maybe even your eye protection. Talk to any machinist. I guarantee he or she will know of people who were killed-DEAD-from pieces that broke off from hardened steel. It's no joke. Inspect your tools before use, and discard any that appear cracked, corroded, etc.

[@VBEd666]

You are right with the hinge pins. They aint that easy to remove sometimes.

[@reverbphantom]

i love this guy

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Cheers Reverbphantom. Appreciate your support.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

It's all good mate. Stop mucking around and whack up a video. Looking forward to it

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Sir Richard, l'm struggling to hear the "sing" in my old Eastwing that is obviously apparent to your good self. My industrial deafness has undoubtably impeaded my ability to pick up such a noise. I think l bought the old girl around about the time Jesus was a second year apprentice, so she has some age on her. With that in mind there is a chance she has developed a hairline crack. I'll have to take extra special care of her from now on. Cheers mate.

[@amishcyborg]

I've got hinges that have knobs on top and bottom of the pin. How do they come out?

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Sometimes those hinges have a removable part (which is the top knob) and the bottom knob is there just for looks. Try tapping out the top knob and see what happens. If it doesn't move you may need to remove the whole hinge. Hope that helps.

[@herbschneider2328]

Another factor is that the hinges may need to be "thrown" especially if it is the leading edge of the door that is the problem.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Good point Herb. Cheers

[@clarkewi]

Brilliant. Send me the bill.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

It's on the house Clarkewi :-)

[@alvinp83]

Spring hinge remove

[@geniemeadows5122]

I am sanding and painting the door frames (a drag) actually what is the door frame wood called going all around? any particular name other than door frame haha,. Me being a dumb girl tell me how to measure up for new (second hand) doors if we get them too. Also what is the name for top skirtings? I don't have the brains for this sort of stuff.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

No dramas Genie. The door is attached to the door jamb and the timber surrounds are called the architraves. No such thing as a dumb question. Good luck with the painting. Cheers :-)

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Genie Meadows Try this Genie. The skirting boards are the lengths of wood that sit on top of the floor and are against the wall. Skirting is only found there. Where the wall meets the ceiling is where the cornice goes. Hope that all makes sense. :-)

[@geniemeadows5122]

shaneconlan1 oh interesting thanks.

[@cornemouton2740]

How long did it take you to cultivate those pork rashers on the sides of your head ?

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Mate...months of tender loving care went into those babies 👍😂

[@rohanmott]

Cant figure out how to respond to your message properly. So get stuffed. Keep an eye on my channel i might post something..... by accident. Keep up the good work.

[@babalo456]

Y

[@GrimdEGaming]

problem, my hinge is stuck like concrete

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Have you tried squirting some WD40 onto the lock. This often helps to free up a stuck hinge pin. Good luck

[@cornemouton2740]

The tape is a good idea, I fucked up the door and wall properly with my hammer.

[@waynematthews5218]

Hilarious

[@diyforknuckleheads]

😂

[@betotrono]

Sorry dude I told ALL of my friends.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Whattttt!!!!!!........na that's ok mate 👍😁

[@TheGilligoon]

Oil that hinge pin.

[@poopol1692]

yeah it helped and it's a great tip about using the tape and pliers instead of hammering upwards... BUT! Your videos are too long because U talk way too damn much and Ur not funny I would watch more of Ur videos if I didn't have to wait so long for the actual video and not listen to U try and be funny either.

[@laurencebannister]

Fair crack of the whip son! I reckon his videos are bonza!

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Thanks John. Appreciate the comment mate. Cheers
