Thank you! Mine was so painted over, I didn't even know there WAS an endcap on the bottom. It still took about 30 minutes to knock the endcap off and then another 30 minutes to knock the pin out. LOL. I'm gonna find whoever painted this hardware and have a stern word with them.
Robert Turner you are welcome. I don't like it when painters don't take the time or the home owners and paint over the hinges just mucks up the hole thing. I personally like the contrasting of the hinges it add that extra to the over all look. but thats just me. Glad to help
Great tip! I had some brand new antique copper hinges, and I needed to put a door stop on the hinge pin, but didn't want to mar the hinge cap. Using the diagonal pliers as you showed worked great. Thank you.
Geoff Hess you are welcome. So glad to help. I've seen others use pliers to pull and i cringe. Vintage hinges are the very reason I use a different method. This saves the cap and keep the vintage hinges looking great. These were at my aunts house i was going through prior to her putting her house on the market. i removed all the hinges striped the many layers of paint off brought them back to original luster. just a added touch that had 3 people within the first 4 days on the market. having a bidding war. Thank you for viewing.
Thanks! Even if it is just a tiny bit. You made me more independent. Worth something to me. Also you find out that doing some handywork is actually quite fun.
If you want to try and grip the pin itself and tap it up to remove that is your choice. the point is too many people just paint over the hinge and trying to remove the pin is nonexistent due to the paint making a barrier over it. the cap will have less resistant's, (its just a cap). The pin will be harder to remove due to all the resistance through the hinge. work smart not hard. Not all hinges have a bottom cap. I like them just because it give it a finished look. cap on top (the pin) and cap on bottom for me just looks complete.
@@TheShackHome after some time I ended up having to cut the top of the screw in order to take the pin out with a saw… I guess you can use the Dremel as well… it was solid :(… it was from antique cabinet. It worked out better because I can reuse them since I went to a bunch of stores and nobody sells these hinges anymore. And now I have the same hinges and I can remove the doors:) if needed. great way to save what you need. Once I am done, I will post a video in order to help others. Thanks so much for your videos 👍🏼👌🏻

Been trying to figure this out for a while now I had no idea it was just a cap. Thank god for this video.

Great instruction! It might help beginners further if you showed removal of the pin as well.
Thank you. I used your method as I didn't want to scar up my wife's new door hinges with vice grips. I had to hammer pretty hard but it worked!
my pleasure glad to help thanks for viewing
The only method that worked for me…. Thank you!

Thank the lord. My crappy college apartment door cap had so much paint buildup
Thank you sir you have reinforced to of my thoughts, first try a pair of side cutters and second I hate painted hardware so don't paint it polish it!
Thanks! Even if it is just a tiny bit. You made me more independent. Worth something to me. Also you find out that doing some handywork is actually quite fun.
This was so easy. Much better than using vice grips
You are a hero! Thank you for this video!!!😊
Why do you need to remove the cap? Can’t you just pop out the top long pin? Or does the bottom cap holding the long top pin somehow?
If you want to try and grip the pin itself and tap it up to remove that is your choice. the point is too many people just paint over the hinge and trying to remove the pin is nonexistent due to the paint making a barrier over it. the cap will have less resistant's, (its just a cap).

Not enough room on mine to get the pliers to bite. Rounded bottom cap is barely showing.
CappsJD sometime you need to used a utility knife and scrap some of the paint off to find the cap line
Much appreciated...

@@TheShackHome fixed things immediately and I thought I bent the pin beyond what I should have, gave it a shot and Bam! Worked PERFECTLY...
Thank you 🙏🏼
Music Sweet you are welcome, happy to help. Thanks for viewing
love this tip
Never knew what that tool was called
Good to know I’m kinda stuck in my bathroom😅😅
Thanks for the tip, but you could have easily made this video in 1 minute.
Why don’t you see it yourself the. I learned a lot
@@truthseek4107 Agreed, he explains as well as showing, and he is not rambling or repeating himself.
Thanks for the comment, but you could have just said 2:05
Very long video for such a simple solution.
Certainly didn't need the intro.
Thanks for the tip but whoever designed this hinge shouldn’t leave their day job.
Intro too long
Much appreciated. Good karma to you.
Start the actual removal at 2+ minutes.
