Just ordered a left and right hand hinge for a diplomat adp3640. Notice that most complain that hinges are delivered closed. What is the best way to open them?

- 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

Clamp the hinge 'spigot' with a vice and open the hinge, then use a screwdriver to move the lock clip into place. Alternatively use a large ring spanner or metal tube over the spigot to prise to the open position. Make sure the spigot cannot injure you if it springs closed as you lock the hinge open.
