    Don't jink yourself now! 
    I have a pair of Kevlar forearm sleeves and use them for this sort of effort.

    Wrap the edges of all the door openings with masking tape

    Re: Re-assembling my doors and no blood......

    I bought replacement doors for my project and the inside stamped ashes were sharp.    I had to debur all the edges so I wouldn’t get cut up so bad. 

    Still haven’t gotten that bottom rubber stop installed in one of the doors.  It’s fighting me.
