To remove the old door, put wooden wedges underneath for support and unscrew the hinges. Chip away thick paint with an old screwdriver or craft knife. Loosen rusted screws by giving the screwdriver a sharp tap with a mallet. Remove screws from the top hinge first, then all but one from the bottom hinge. With the door supported, take out the last screw. If you have to reduce the height or width of the new door by more than 6mm, use a panel saw to cut off the waste wood and sand or plane the edge smooth. For smaller amounts, it’s easier to just use a hand or power plane.
