Hi
Hope this is the right place for this post. We have 4 old victorian doors upsatirs. I want to have the doors dipped but I can't remove the rim locks and knobs because there is 130 year's worth of paint sticking the screws in place. And some of the screws are tiny! I've tied scraping, banging with a hammer etc but they won't budge.
Any secret solutions or tricks of the trade out there to melt away the paint [and rust I think]. Would like to keep the locksand knobs and restore if possible.
Thanks a lot,
Fay
