Remove door to paint

Probably weigh 10kg all in with the frame too, as scally said it'll become heavy as soon as you remove the last screw, downstairs won't be an issue but 1st floor when your on your 5th opener they start getting heavier and heavier, ask me how I know!
 
Thanks, can you tell me - do the side hinges look like they might lift off without having to unscrew ?

For for the windows with top and bottom sliding hinge only, how would I disconnect them ?
 
Nothing lifts off, they need unscrewing at the frame leaving the hinges on the casement, thats the opener
 
Thanks so in the photos attached which screws need to be removed ?

Ok thanks so essentially remove the piece as one.

Would you do it yourself or do you recommend leaving and painting it in place ?
 
Paint in place, if you remove to paint you'll have to wait till it dries before you can refit, can see it becoming very messy very quickly
