I am partial to sanding and find it relaxing. -

About the only way to remove darker stain from wood is to sand it back down to bare wood. There's not any type of remover for this. But if there has been any type of polyurethane or clear varnish put on top of stained doors then you could use a stripper to remove it and then sand down to bare wood. I hope this helps. Good luck on your project!
