Removing a door frame is a relatively simple task that can be completed in a few hours with the right tools and materials. Before you begin, it is important to gather all of the necessary supplies, including a pry bar, hammer, utility knife, and safety glasses. Once you have gathered your supplies, you can begin the process of removing the door frame.
The first step is to remove the door stop. This is typically a thin piece of wood that is nailed into the door frame. Use a pry bar to gently pry the door stop away from the door frame. Once the door stop is removed, you can begin to remove the casing. The casing is the decorative trim that surrounds the door frame. Use a utility knife to score the paint along the edge of the casing. Then, use a pry bar to gently pry the casing away from the door frame. Once the casing is removed, you can begin to remove the door frame itself. Use a hammer to tap the door frame loose from the wall. Once the door frame is loose, you can carefully lift it out of the opening.
