Hello there! Taking apart a recliner can make moving it so much easier. The context you provided didn't have specific instructions, so I'll give you a guide based on how most recliners are commonly built.
The good news is that most recliners are designed to come apart in two main pieces: the back and the base. This is usually all you need to do to get it through a doorway.
First, you'll want to find the locking levers. Feel along the back of the recliner where the back cushion meets the main seat base. You will often find a strip of fabric, sometimes attached with Velcro, that you can pull up. Underneath this flap, look for the metal tracks that connect the back to the base. On these tracks, there should be a locking clip or a small metal lever on each side.
To release the back, you'll need to unlock these levers. Sometimes you can just lift them with your fingers. Other times, you may need a flathead screwdriver or pliers to gently pry the lever up. Once you've unlocked the mechanism on both sides, the backrest should be free. It's often helpful to have a friend assist you as you lift the backrest straight up and off the metal tracks of the base.
If you need to disassemble the base further, you would typically flip the chair over and look for bolts connecting the frame or footrest, but for most situations, just removing the back is enough. Taking a quick photo before you start is always a great way to make sure you remember how it all goes back together
