Default Help...Magnetic doors for lowers
How did you remove the push pins on the stock doors? The instructions say to use pliers, but that's not working. Any advise?

Thanks!

I used a small pair of wire cutters and cut the pins from the inside...then they just pop right out.

They work great don't they. I can't believe how much of an improvement they are over the stock snap doors.
