1992 Abbey wardrobe door fettling

[toad a caravan]

These images are of my wardrobe doors,they was showing signs of wear and tear and in my opinion something needed to be done,The inside of the door panels have several staples (apparently to hold the panel to the door frame).using a small block of wood and a lightweight hammer I gently tapped the around the panel to slowly loosen it,this process of going around the panel was repeated until it came off,my idea was to invert the panel so as to have the undamaged inner surface on the outside.The first panel came off after about half an hour I found out that some lightweight glue had been used.The second panel took a couple of hours due to what looks like a previous repair and unwarranted over use adhesive,,I consider that as the staples used only protruded about 1mm through the panel into the frame they only there to hold panels in place till the adhesive sets..
