If you can take the screws out, do that. That's the easiest way to cut. If not, I had to use a 7in rotary blade to cut off the heads to get the doors off. Dangerous. It took 2.5hrs per door. I still have the rear to do.

I can't take all the screws out. Some of them are stripped. Right not i'm using a dremel with reinforced cutting wheels. But i can't look to see how deep my cuts are or whats keeping the hinge from being able to hammer off.
