Hello FOG, please help.
My wife and I bought this sideboard from a local charity shop.
It's from the 1960's and generally in good condition. I need to remove / renew the shellac coating in the cupboards, but I'm not sure how to remove the doors.
The bottom hinge is secured to the bottom of the cabinet with two screws and has a pin into the bottom of the door.
The top hinge is secured to the top of the door with two screws and has a pin into a plate at the top of the cabinet. That plate is attached to the cabinet with one screw and also acts as a stop to prevent the door opening too far.
How do I take the door off?
I could just remove all the screws and see what happens, but I'm not sure.
Edit- add pictures
Thanks
Bob
