Remove Doors and Hardware

doing new construction. I've got a door. So, we typically start with uh removing all of our doors and begin the spackling, uh sanding, bondo, sand, caulk, prime, inspect with bondo again, uh fill, sand, and then shoot two coats of trim. This is what it looks like. Uh we begin taking off, you know, the hinges and stuff. So, these are hinges. We don't want to get anything on them. Here's my bucket of hinges right here. Got my hinges. Uh, so they're not going to get dirty. I'm going to eventually take those out where they won't get overspray. They won't get full of dust on them. We keep our screws, you know, separated. Here's all the screws from the doors we've been uh taking off right here. This is a typical door jam. It's not been cocked. It's not been spackled. Now, there's, you know, multiple ways you can do this when you uh get this door off. Now, you know, everybody kind of has their own systems and processes. Once we get this door off, there's going to be some schools of thought that says, "Hey, you should prime before you caulk and spackle." Um, we don't do that. The caulking that we use bonds to bare wood. The spackling bonds to bare wood, so it's not an issue. We just kind of have what works for us. And and we do the priming after uh spackle um after bondo and after caulking. So, you know, if you once again, if you're using inexpensive, you know, fillers, uh, sealants and stuff like that, maybe priming could be something beneficial to do before. But if you do prime first and then put all this Bondo and everything on it, you're going to have to prime again to go over that Bondo to be able to inspect for imperfections after that. So, it's really like I think, you know, in the end, you're going to be doing the same amount of processes probably. I just know, you know, what's worked for us over the years. That's super fast and efficient. So, we're going to begin just removing, you know, the doors. So, again, keep hinges hinge screws separate from any other type of screws. These are interior holocore doors. They're super light. Try to be careful when removing screws, you know, not to scratch your hinges. These are bronze hinges and you can scratch them. you know, if your drill slips and stuff, don't just toss them in the bucket either because you can scratch them. And I typically get to the point where I've got, you know, one screw left in a door and I'll take that screw off last, leave one screw up top, take the ones off down bottom. Door is going to…
