Forum Title: Replacing kick plate on front door (was glued on)

Hi! I'd like to replace the kick plate on my front door. It was glued on rather than screwed. Any suggestions on how best to remove the old one w/o ruining the door? Thanks!!

If it's double sided foam glazing tape, a utility knife should cut through it. Sometmes a solvent like Naptha helps release the adhesive.

Are you sure it's glue? If it's a steel door, kickplates are usually magnetic which are difficult to remove after sometime. Take a good look.
