  • Here’s a quick TRICK to get them opened WITHOUT TOOLS: you can use a slot on the OLD HINGE to hold the lug that fits into the door frame on the new hinge and easily prise the thing open. This is how I opened mine. JB 30/04/2018 By JB - - 30 April 2018

    Fit the hinge if possible and use a ring spanner to lever the 'tongue' open and lock it in place.
