Thread: How do I get this door open???????

Tweet

Thank you!!! That helped a ton. I was able to open it by using a coat hanger.

Getting panel off: the friction pins holding the panel on are very difficult to remove, even with the panel removal tool. I have both nylon and steel. The nylon bends before the pin releases. The shroud around the head is too weak so the pins just separate from the door panel, leaving the pin in the door. Then I used side cutters to remove the pins. I will need new pins. The next question: how does the rod attach to the lever? They both have a hole. Was there a rivet holding them together? What should I use to attache the rod to the lever? You folks have been great!
