Default Lanai door hinge

Does anyone know how to remove what looks like a rivet in each one of my hinges on a T&D installed screen door.
Appreciate the help

you will have to drill them out, over sized bit and drill head off.

Not sure what you are trying to do, take the hinge or door off, or something else? Can you provide a picture? I agree with above that a rivet can typically be drilled out with an over sized bit, go slowly so you stop when the top of the rivet comes off. A small punch or nail should drive out the remainder of the rivet.

Thanks again
