Pay someone more skilled than you so it’s done correctly.

The gatehouse has an endcap and pin system. The 'bottom' is a cap, and you need to remove it with vise grips, then you can tap the 'top' pin with a screwdriver or hexwrench through the chase until it breaks the friction press-fitting.
Clamp the vise grips on the exposed head, then tap down for the endcap. Run the hexwrench through the chase and tap up for the pin.

If you'll take the door off and set it on a couple saw horses, put a towel underneath so as to not hurt your finish. Then go to the shop and grab two fishing poles and go fishing you'll think of a solution while you're fishing. Always works for me.

What others have said. You just spent the money on a nice door. Don't be a cheap ass now and spend the little extra to have someone hang it. It shouldn't cost too much.

Handy men around my parts charge $150-$250 to hang a door. Convert that to 15 packs of keystone and you're looking at 11 to 19 packs of beer. It's a no brainer to hang it yourself even if its a little crooked and you have to push on it to open it. Plus you got the pride in knowing to put that POS in yourself!

I thought the title said "Hanging myself in a doorway" and I got the positive rep ready

Well, if you have a cold beer or two you might be able to convince the handy guy that lives near you to come give you hand hanging it so you don't have to fool with busting the hinges apart.

Wait a minute, if you haven't hung it yet, how do you know it closes and latches?
