Have client’s cabinet door to be reglued. Commercially made cherry raised panel. It came apart HARD as it had two pins in the back of each joint. I did finally get it disassembled, but opened up some stuff I shouldn’t have.
Any tricks to taking these apart without splintering and making extra work? Punching won’t work as they would come out the front. Why do they pin them? Probably because they know it isn’t coming back to THEM!
Thanks for any sage tips.

By the time you get it apart, rid it of old glue, reglue, touch up the finish and still see the repair...a new door could have beeen orderd and hung.

I absolutely KNEW someone would say that. I was hoping it might have been later though.It's a REPAIR
I've done it, I KNOW it's a PITA.
Use red tinted 5 min epoxy and call it a day. You can use Testors model car paint to color the epoxy.
Oh, the pins are there because the doors are glued up on a rack with clamps from both directions to square up the door, then the pins are shot so it stays that way and the nest door can be glued up. I did that too. Spheramid Enterprises Architectural Woodworks
