What happens here

Begin the refinishing process by carefully removing the exterior wooden door from its frame. Utilize a hinge pin removal tool to tap out the three hinge pins from each hinge. This method avoids the need to unscrew the entire hinge from the door or frame, simplifying reinstallation. Once all pins are removed, the door can be lifted off its frame and transported to the designated work area.

Goal: Safely detach the exterior wooden door from its frame by removing the hinge pins, ensuring the door can be moved to a suitable workspace for refinishing.

So, to start start this process, I got a simple tool, a hinge pin removal tool right here. And this removes the hinge pins from the door. That way, we can take the door off. We're not going to be unscrewing the hinges. We're just going to be taking out the three hinge pins, taking it out, setting it on some buckets, and working on it out in the clear opening where we can sand, lightly sand it, and then clear coat it. So, got my hinge pin removal tool, and we're going to start removing this door.
