Tips on removing sliding closet door pull?
I have a bunch of sliding closet doors in my house and they all have these inset door pulls (see pictures). We're changing out door hardware and hinges throughout from the old brass to silver/chrome, and we'd like to change these too. Reading online, it looks like a lot of these often just go in and are held by pressure or glue, but in our case, they're all held in by two small, ball-headed nails. And I cannot figure out how to remove them. I've tried needle-nose pliers, vice grips (including pointy-headed ones), small pry bars, etc. There's nothing that will grab on to the nail head with the right amount of grip, angle, etc. to be able to pull them out. I've been pulling my hair out on this, all while thinking that I must be missing some simple tool or approach. So, does anyone have any advice or tips for how to remove these so I can put the new ones in? Thanks! https://preview.redd.it/cy2clzxo0cte1.jpg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0f221ddddc0cd94f7818b79a844f23042a973b7e https://preview.redd.it/2v9v0yxo0cte1.jpg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=03bbe685ae31ed3ec512e43e7b1d96863b400d03 https://preview.redd.it/emsnjxxo0cte1.jpg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4a8d2d9d09655fd9d7a7cb29cdb23e76685ae41f submitted by /u/NawatCr0w [link] [comments]
