Remove Door Hardware

What happens here

Carefully remove the guard plate located on the door using a Phillips head screwdriver or a drill with the appropriate bit to unscrew it. Then, remove the door handle by unscrewing the necessary components. Removing hardware prevents paint from getting on them, ensures full coverage of the door surface, and allows for easier reinstallation later. The presenter indicates the removed hardware will be painted separately.

Goal: To ensure a clean and thorough paint job, remove any external hardware from the door, such as guard plates and door handles.
