Hi folks

I am replacing the walnut trim on my Elite doors.
Need to know how to remove them - do they remove easily, or do I have to remove door cards ??
Would appreciated some helpful advice, rather than wade in and maybe break something.  :-/

Thanks

Yes there are about half a dozen plastic rivets, you need a hacksaw blade to cut through them. While your doorcards are off, it's a good time to Lube everything.

Do you? I used a small screw driver to put down the slit of the clips gae a slight twist which opens the clips and allows the clip to slide off the plastic, flatten them again then they push on nice and tight on the new one

Thanks Darth, I will use my trim tool/screwdriver.
Will probably have a go this weekend.
