Can I flip this door without ruining it?
My dad has a cabin that is renovated from an old barn. It’s been renovated in stages and until last year there was a garage in the lower half. But last spring, we had a contractor convert the garage into an extra bedroom. This heavy fire door had been the door to the garage, but is now a door to the bedroom. It swings the wrong way and collides with the front door and it’s on sprung hinges - it’s just generally a hassle. I wanna know if I can take it out turn it around and put it back in without damaging it, so that it opens into the bedroom. The molding around the door is easy enough to pull off, but It seems like I might have to pry off the inner strips to even get at mounting screws. Is anyone familiar with this model? Will it survive being pulled out and reinstalled?i submitted by /u/BulletCatofBrooklyn [link] [comments]
