I have fitted 2 UPVC doors before and the doors lifted on and off of the hinges.

I have a second hand UPVC door that I want to fit on the side of my Garage but this must be an older or different type as the door does not lift off the hinges.

I have put a picture of the hinge in my albums, how do I get the door off the frame?

This type of hinge doesn't allow for lifting off, but what you do is open the door and take a look at the back of the hinge, hopefully you should see a tiny grub screw which takes from memory a 3mm allen key, take this out and the hinge pin SHOULD knock upwards, remove all pins and bobs your uncle
 
hanks for the reply.

I opened the door and looked all around the hinge on both sides but there is no grub screw.

So I got an old screw driver and hit the 4 pins with a hammer, once they were free they came out easily.
Very pleased, thank-you.
