there are screws behind each one of those plastic "poppers"...also, where the door latch is, you have to pop out the pastic piece and theres a screw there and inside there where the bottom of the hand grab is. Also, at the top of the hand grab, there is a plastic insert, take that out and find another screw. I think thats about it.

Just be careful, dont yank it off, if it doesn't come off, something is probably caught.

i had to yank mine off. it was stubborn. you will probably end up braking the little plastic hangers off but its not a big deal.

kind of an odd question, but does anybody remember what the color of the screw is that goes into the three "caps" you pull off? (The black flat ones and the insert one for the handle). I could've sworn they were smaller than the ones that go under the handle that opens the door, but when I started putting my doors on, I find I have extra of the "grey" screws and I'm missing 3 copper screws. Am I going nuts? I feel like a mo-ron for not keeping up with the stuff, but it's kinda frustrating, the grey screws don't seem to fit where the "caps" go on the doors, so it has to be those copper colored ones... I think

Doh! I had put the wrong screw in the door handle, the grey screws go in there, so now everything matches up.


BTW, I'm not that dumb (close though), both doors panels had been removed and I had mixed the screws up
