Hmm, all the Russos I sold and serviced - the doors lifted off. I can only imagine that it is somehow rusted or swelled. I'd try some liquid wrench or something like that in the hinge area and swing the door open and closed a bunch - then, instead of tapping on the pins (which may just swell them), put a block of wood against the bottom of the door near the hinges and tap upwards with a hammer......
If you get a little separation, then put more liquid wrench in there - and perhaps pry upwards in that space using an old screwdriver....

Craig has pretty much nailed this one. This happens here from time to time- usually some gentle persuasion with a screwdriver or (gasp!) dead blow hammer does the trick.
Used PB-Blaster wooden block and hammer no good,door opens and close fine.Also put new gaskets in but the people online in the Co I bought from said I needed 1/2 for the gasket???I think I sghould have used 3/8 as it's to tight????????
