Call (Google) the company and ask them before possibly damaging it.

Could those hinges be security hinges where the pin can't be removed?

Thank you joed and lucy. We are calling the company where we purchased the hinges to get their suggestions. Janet

HOW TO REMOVE SCHLAGE DOOR HINGE PINS: Heat the hinge with your hair dryer to loosen the goop inside the hinge. Use pliers to hold the hinge as it will get very hot. Once it's hot enough, insert a small screw driver into the pin hole. Bang the screwdriver and I promise the hinge will come out. It worked for me on all my Schlage hinge pins.

I know this is an extremely old post but just today I was trying to get the pins out of a new hinge set. It was so impossible that I had to google it. I too have brand new Schlage hinges.

What I decided to do, that worked, was install the complete hinge set onto the door jamb, not attached to the door yet. This allowed me to get some purchase to whack the pin out. It took some whacking but out it did come. I am currently using Goof off to get the incredibly strong adhesive off of the hinges so they can come out easier next time.

For the bottom hinge that sits closer to the floor, with less bottom space to get some whack out of your hammer, I installed that one upside down and when the pin finally came out, I switched it around. Hope this helps future hinge installers!
