I can pull it all apart and have it back together in well less than an hour. After the third or fourth time, it's easy!

On both of the doors I had apart, I made a slight modification. The latch assembly is attached to the door with 2 plastic pins. They are pretty weak and once they are taken apart a couple of times, they won't stay in place. I replaced them with some short bolts to keep them from popping out during reinstallation.
