Hi everyone,
See photos attached for what I am referring to here. When we moved into our new house there was one of these handgrip things outside the front door and another in the bathroom. I managed to remove the one in the bathroom, and I’m trying to remove the one at the front door. I have managed to remove all but two screws from it (they were VERY tight - probably tighter than they needed to be) and as you’ll see from the photos I am stuck with the final two. Top one I tried drilling out but that hasn’t been very successful. Bottom I got halfway out but the head on the screw is so mangled I can oh no further. I tried using a pair of locking pliers to twist it out but they won’t close tightly enough around the head.
I tried sawing it into sections to at least remove the bar but the only tool I had was a jigsaw which vibrated dangerously so I aborted quickly.
Any ideas? I want rid of the d@mn thing!
