What happens here

For a cleaner and more professional finish, remove any removable hardware from the door, such as guard plates around the doorknob. The video specifically shows removing a guard plate using a Phillips head screwdriver. If hardware cannot be removed, or for fixed elements like hinges, mask them off using painter's tape to protect them from paint.

Goal: Prepare door hardware by either removing it or masking it to protect from paint.
