Not many people know this but there's actually a hack to take a door off it's hinges and
I'm going to show you what that is, coming up.Well hello!
I didn't see you there, welcome to Konkin Can Do, my name is Julia and today, I'm going
to show you how to remove a door from it's hinges.
So, I'm ready to go.
I've got my flat head screwdriver, I've got my hammer, got my gloves on and I've got my
paper towel over there.
Here is the hack to this whole procedure.
All you gotta do is shut the door.
What?
Shut the front door.
I guess it's not the front door, but shut it.
If you're using a nail driver, which I don't have, all you're going to want to do is place
the nail driver through the bottom of the hinge and give it a light tap to release the
pin.
If you don't and you're like me, just place the flat head at the base of the head of the
pin and lightly tap.
Now, I'm going to prove, this can be done in under three minutes flat, let's go.
Three, two, one, go!
So nice and easy, just placing that on there, taping them up really lightly, you don't want
to bend them.
Just tap them enough to loosen them.
As you can see, there is quite a bit of grease on the pins, that's why I said bring that
paper towel and the gloves.
And let me just get that bottom one here.There you go.
Three down and the door comes off nice and easy.
How simple was that?
Okay, that was the easy part, the harder part is getting it back on.
So, getting it back on is definitely a little harder, you just need to line it up.
Line up the hinges, they don't have to be perfect when you're first putting it on.
And close the door.
Alright, so it's closed.
The hinges are definitely not yet lined up properly, so, sometimes it just takes a little
adjusting.
As you can see I've gotten a little grease on the door already.
So manually kind of adjust that a bit then just grab your pins, I like to put all three
in at the same time.
They won't go down right away but this way you'll know when it's lined up because the
pin will start going all the way down.
So let's just start with the top.
That one's being a little difficult.
There we go.
Slide it down.
And again, adjust and slide it down.
and that one basically went all the way down right away.
So, aren't you glad I told you to wear gloves?
So there you go guys, pretty impressive hey?
The door still works just fine, I didn't break it and I feel pretty darn good about the fact
that I can do that in under three minutes and I don't know what I'm doing.
