Upvc doors, any body knowledgeable?

Got given a 6 month old decent looking door, it will fit where my scabby back door is with some fiddling. I'm wanting to remove the door from the frame to make fitting easier. Pics of one of three hinges, hopefully someone knows what to remove to release the door . There are 2 screws which can't be seen very well that look like the ideal ones to release the door and hinge from the frame but I can't access them. Maybe the shiny chrome (is it just a bling cover?) Bit pops off? I've tried to ping it off but it's stuck fast, I think access to them 2 screws might be possible with that off or maybe I'm talking cobblers

This clip shows you how flag hinges are put together/come apart.

The black bit on the bottom of the hinge-pin in your photos is just a push in cover/cap and it can be picked out.
Hope it helps.

Cheers buddy. I'll look at that later.

The allen key bolts you can see are adjustment bolts the one on the frame is up and down the one in the slot is to move the door in and out to the frame and there should be one on the door part of the hinge that will move the door left to right in the frame
you may be better of taking the glass out and leaving the door on to fit, one of these is best to pop the glazing bead out used with a hammer https://www.toolstation.com/prep-premier-heavy-duty-stripping-knife/p28924 in the middle of the length

When I fit doors like that, I remove the sealed units to reduce weight and give hand holds in the centre. It's much easier to fit the glass back in, than try to fit these doors back in the frame.
At least that's how I've done them.

I agree, I've fitted new windows in my house and knocked the beading back in with a rubber mallet. I fitted used doors and windows in my garage and actually built the garage to the sizes of the windows and doors as they were cheap. I took the glass out of them but damaged the beading a bit, not important for the garage but this door is the main door everyone comes through so I'm wary of removing the beading.
I use a scaper blade and knock it in and up to release the beading but maybe that's wrong?
I'll do a pic.

Yep thats the place, i took down a conservatory and rebuilt it and used those toolstation heavy duty stripping knives and had no problems they are what the window guys use.

There isn't actually a gap there though , I've got a good stripper blade but getting it in there is when the damage occurs, once its in its easy yes. Also the glass maybe stuck in with that double sided sticky foam strip, I know my windows are and that's a bugger to release and clean up. That's why I'd like to remove the door instead.

Had a look at mine again. The vid shows a screw holding that trim on, I haven't got a screw

Turned out it wouldn't fit, frame size was OK but my internal plaster work wouldn't clear so it's been moved on.
