- 1). Open the door and position yourself to access the lowest hinge in the door. Start at the bottom so that the door can stay hanging off at least by one hinge.
- 2). Place the center punch in the middle of the screw on the door and strike it with the hammer. This is going to create a point for you to place the drill on later, so the bit doesn't wander.
- 3). Insert a small drill bit--1/8 inch or less--inside the drill and place the bit on the center punched mark. Drill out the center of the screw using progressively larger bits until the screw is completely gone.
- 4). Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the other hinge screws mounted to the door, working your way up until you've removed all of the screws from the hinges and the door is off the hinges.
- 5). Repeat steps 2 to 3 for the screws holding the hinges to the door jam. Then remove the hinges from the jam using your hands.
