I can't get the pin out of my door hinge so that I can insert the stopper. Any suggestions? I've tried everything.

I used a Phillips head screw driver and tapped it up through the bottom of the hinge with a hammer on a couple that were tight.

Take a long thin nail or punch and place on bottom of hinge pin and tap upward with a light hammer to drive the pin upward so that it can be removed.

The pins will come out if you work at it. Some things that might help are a hammer, and screwdriver along with a little WD 40.

Along with what everyone else has said about using a screwdriver and hammer, try opening the door slightly. When the door is closed there is more pressure on the pin than when the door is slightly ajar. Good luck!

At the two hinges, look for a hinge lock release. You really should consult the directions manual that came with the unit and follow the set-up directions, in reverse. Consult the manufacturer. I am not an expert with regard to this.

I do not have them any more as they did not work with my application. I believe the "pin" is a standard door pin. The problem I had is the spring and cover (the wider diameter of metal in the photo) is too large for normal setback hinges In essence you would have to cut out your door moulding to allow the pin to fit. I recommend single action spring hinges; see example:http://www.doorware.com/site/department.cfm?id=170085

There is a small push pin on the door panel inside the hinge side. Push that to reset the PIN.

You have to take it out and try again. Just keep trying until it snaps in completely.

Yes, I had the same problem with the safety lock. The simple fix is to take a hand drill with bit and expandthe opening slightly. It still locks but opens with a mild tug. Good Luck.

I had this same issue and it was an issue with the door. You can have amazon send a replacement.

Mine did this after some use. Here's what I did. Open the door all the way and use pliers to move that flimsy hinge at the bottom slightly to the right. Gently. It's really of poor quality. Now the door closes all the way. Clever me.

the root cause of the problem seems to be you putting your key inside the safe. ever. why would you do that? ever? i assume you have figured a way around getting the door open, but have you solved the "real" problem yet?

Hi, I have bought two of this cabinet. The first one was two years ago. Looking at them, they have different hinges. The first one has a more expensive looking scissor type hinge. The second is a basic pin type. I would ask for a whole new set, or look at the side of the cabinet where the hinges mount. Is it bent? They both seem like they are self closing, so if it doesn't close all the way, there must be something wrong with the hinge. Hope this helps.

I had the same problem. It is because it is not very long. I suggest you drill a half inch hole fore or aft of the pin going completely through and install a bolt and nut. That will take out any looseness and be very secure.

Try prying it open with a screwdriver or a butterknife.try pressing it down then pry up.

The notch in the front of the door looks like it should be it, but that's just a recess for the latch that holds the door closed. There should be a small slit/notch in the back of whatever adapter you put in (take a look at one of the other adapters to get the idea of where it is). You can probably pry it with a dime, but you can also use a sharp knife in the slot and just pull straight up -- comes out with hardly any force.

You should be able to pop the top cover off the bolt for the hinge and tighten it up. I hope this helps. If not i will try to give you a bettter fix. I have not personally had this problem.

Open up yhe back un screw the thing that holds in the pin and push the pin as far in as possible then screw the thing back on tight and replace the back if that doesn't work send it back

Find the pin hole. Use a paper clip or something small. Press it in go 15 to 20 seconds.
