How to Remove a Hinge Pin from a Door
Many people use a screwdriver to remove a hinge pin when taking off a door. They simply place the tip up under the head of the pin and then tap on the end with a hammer. But a screwdriver is not a striking tool, and using it that way can damage it.

This will allow a good grip on the edge of the pin.
