To remove cabinet doors with Blum hinges, you can follow these general steps:
Open the cabinet door fully and locate the hinge assembly. Blum hinges typically consist of two parts: the hinge arm attached to the door and the mounting plate attached to the cabinet frame.
Locate the release tab or locking mechanism on the hinge assembly. Blum hinges usually have a release tab that needs to be pressed or activated to remove the door.
Press the release tab: Use your finger or a small tool (such as a screwdriver) to press the release tab on the hinge assembly. The release tab is usually located near the hinge arm, close to where it connects to the mounting plate.
While pressing the release tab, lift or swing the cabinet door away from the mounting plate. The door should disengage from the hinge assembly.
Repeat the process for any additional hinges holding the door in place. Most cabinet doors will have two or three hinges attached.
Once all the hinges are released, carefully lift the cabinet door away from the cabinet frame. The door should now be completely detached and can be set aside.
It's important to note that the exact mechanism and location of the release tab may vary depending on the specific type and model of Blum hinge you have installed. Therefore, it's always a good idea to consult the manufacturer's instructions or documentation for your specific hinges if available.
Additionally, when removing cabinet doors, it can be helpful to have an extra pair of hands to support the door and prevent it from falling or getting damaged during the removal process.
