Can’t open UPVC hinge to adjust - any tips?

[kingandy2nd]

Sorry, I don’t know the name / brand of the hinge but I assume in addition to the hinge bolts on the left there will also be so internal bolts behind the main chrome plate to adjust the door.

However, I can’t get any of the hinge covers off! I’ve tried a flat bladed screw driver to leaver it up, but it comes about 5mm up and then springs back into place.

What am I doing wrong, or do I just need to be more forceful?

Thanks
Andy

Sorted, screw on the inside holds the cap on.

On mine (Not the same but similar, I had to remove the bolt you can see with the door open, then hit the hinge cover with a rubber mallet to loosen it, then it would slide off, towards the glass.

Don't screw it back in too far afterwards, or it comes through the cover!

FYI it's a Mila Pro Secure hinge
