Okay, in this next clip we're going to talk about the actual door handle and how to protect
that and how to make sure that it's painted correctly so that the door looks good. Because
that's the end quality. You really want this door to look good, and the door handle is
very important because it gets the most use. Whether you have kids or a bunch of people
going in and out of this door, it's going to see its abuse and the paint around it will
see its abuse. You can use your screwdriver and actually take the door handle off, if
you know how. If you don't know how a door handle works, I don't recommend it because
they do have this great tape called painter's tape, and you simply wrap it around there
and protect the handle. Now, what I do recommend is, because this is the garage, this homeowner
has an actual chain lock on their door. When the door trim was painted, it was actually
taken off. So what I do suggest, is that with this, there's four screws, use your Phillip's
head screwdriver, and simply remove that from the door. Real easy. Just make sure you don't
fill up the holes with the paint. Make sure you leave those holes there so that it's easy
to put back once the door is dry. We'll just take this off and we'll be ready to start
priming. Another good tip for you is, once you get all this off and you have your screws
and your hardware, is get you a little cup and put everything in there. That way you're
sure not to lose any of that hardware and it goes right back up when you're ready.
