You can detach the shield from the channel while it's still attached to the door. This gives you quick, easy access to the hinge cavity.

What you'll need

 

1. A blunt blade, such as a dinner knife.

 

2. Small steps, if you need extra height to reach the top of the door.

 

Steps to detach the shield

 

1. Insert the blunt blade into the top of the channel. Prise one edge of the T-section out of the channel. This is easier with the door open.

 

2. Once the top edge of the T-section is exposed, draw the blade downward to release that edge fully from the channel.

 

3. Pull the whole T-section away from the channel. The shield, still attached to the door, will now fold back. You'll have full access to the hinge cavity.

 

Steps to reattach the shield

 

1. Insert one edge of the T-section into the channel, then insert the second edge into the top of the channel.

 

2. Using the blunt blade, draw downward to press the exposed edge of the T-section fully into the channel.
