First big scrap operation

I would recommend a Google search on how to do it but briefly, it involves in using a pin to pull the spring and moving the stop to the next hole, release and repeat until the tension is gone. If it is a single door, then the springs are ion either side and much easier to remove. Just be sure the door is raised when you take them loose.



Do your homework before you do the demo to avoid pain and excessive blood...

I second this...Those springs pack a heck of a punch or pinch. Disconnected one before and got smacked in the head by it when it fell from the garage attic lol. Left a nice gash. Sure getting fingers caught in them would be just as much fun if not more

Circuit Breakers, Bath tub (cast iron with legs have good resale), same with some of the old kitchen and bathroom sinks. Make sure that electricity is off and be careful (I know you will, but none of it is worth getting hurt over).
