In addition I took out all the outer screws so it seems there are 2 "hidden" screws ... so question is how to take it out ? pull ? if so, how am I suppose to do it ? my hand isn't enough and this thing isn't convinient for pulling (its plastic and becomes slippery after couple of times). Thanks for any help !! Re: Cabinet doors sitting wont come out !

Try pulling it out and you will end up with a bloody big piece of melamine being ripped out as well - very unsightly. You are better off using a sharp chisel and trying to cut it instead.

Stewie Thanks So it will not come peacfully ? I thought about saving it to use the door elsewhere Re: Cabinet doors sitting wont come out !

Where the little indents are is where the dowels that hold it in place are. Just dont drill right through the side of the carcase. It's most likely about an 8mm dowel but I'd start with a 5mm and see if that clears it if not go up to a 6mm then an 8mm. The door can still be used, you just unscrew the 2 screws that hold the hinge to the door and the hinge will lift out of the cup hole. You can then replace the whole hinge and plate with a new one. They only cost a few dollars each.
