Recommendations
The fixing points of the fir tree fasteners on the door trim are very fragile. Go very slowly when you pull out the fasteners when removing the trim.
When purchasing the wood screws, check that the fir tree fasteners clip onto the screw head without too much force.
Do not use a wood screw that is too long. As in some areas the door trim is thin, you could puncture it.
