Hello everyone, I want to remove the doors from my IKEA Billy shelf and specifically take out the hinges. Unfortunately, I can’t find a clear guide on how to properly remove the hinges without causing any damage. I’m particularly interested in when the best time is to remove the hinges – before taking off the doors, after unscrewing them, or only after the entire shelf is disassembled. My goal is to keep the parts intact for reuse if possible. Does anyone have practical tips or experience they could share? Thanks in advance!
I can only agree with the tips – take the doors off first, then remove the hinges. A little oiling helps if the screws are stuck. And don’t worry, it works great. 🙂
A small tip: put the old screws in a small container after removing them, otherwise you’ll be desperately searching for them during reassembly. 😉
