QUOTE(mini orchard @ Aug 22 2020, 11:38 AM) Use a scraper to gently remove it. Do you mean on the screw part or behind the hinges? QUOTE(sairay @ Aug 22 2020, 11:39 AM) 1.Spray some WD40 The screw point is damaged, so i can't unscrew it to remove the door.2. Remove the door first 3. After WD40 rid of the rust try to unscrew hinge QUOTE(acbc @ Aug 22 2020, 11:40 AM) Door already damaged due to water. Not worth saving it. Door is still ok i think, just the hinges part look badThis post has been edited by silverwave: Aug 22 2020, 11:46 AM |

based on the comments received, it seems there is a high potential of damaging the door, so would it be wise to clean up all the rust and then spray wd40 to maintain it?

QUOTE(Deja Vu @ Aug 25 2020, 02:26 PM) WD40 alone is too thin to protect it from moisture for the long term. that is a good idea, will try it as well, thanks!Since you're prepared to clean up the rust (and assuming the hinge is working as it should be), why not just repaint it with maybe 1 or 2 layers of oxide paint after having a clean rust-free surface? |
