I have to remove one of my vending machines from a front lobby of a
business and of course it is about an inch to big and won't fit through
the door. If I remove the door I will be able to get it out. And that
is my question. How do I remove the door. It is a Metal framed glass
door. Only one not two. It swings closed from both sides. It looks
like the Hydrolic?? swing mech is located in the top of the frame. I
removed a metal bar that reveiled the pin at the top. Do I just keep
the door in the closed position and push it out? I didn't see anything
in the bottom of the door frame. It looks like it goes directly into
the concrete. Could someone provide me with some insight into the
removal and replacement of doors and what to watch out for. Thanks, I
think it is going to be somewhat simple but I want to be prepared.
Thanks
Russ

I'd leave the door alone and remove the front of the vending machine so that
it would fit out the door.
How did the machine get in there in the first place?

It had been there for years and it came in a back way which is now
closed up. The door on the machine can't be removed without major
hassle and even if it could the way it is shaped prevents it from
fitting.
