Can I remove the nails on the backboard that I installed by mistake?
If you attach the backboard by mistake, you can remove it depending on the situation. However, basically, products that are assembled using nails cannot be disassembled and reassembled for use.
How to remove
- Apply a cloth to the surface of the back plate on the side that does not come into contact with the wall, and gently tap the part as close as possible to the nailed part to lift the back plate from the frame.
- When the backboard floats from the frame, separate the nail head from the backboard.
- When the head of the nail separates from the backboard, insert a nail punch into the gap and remove it.
In the following cases, it may not be possible to remove it.
- You hit a lot of nails.
- The The backboard is thin.
- The head of the nail is struck so strongly that it digs into the backboard.
