Anyone ever uninstalled Grass click-lock hinges? I managed to get in touch with a nice, responsive customer service rep. who even sent some pictures, but it seems as though there’s no way to get these out of the hole without metal chisels and dremel cutting wheels.

What????
Can you link to a picture of such a hinge? All the Grass hinges I've dealt with are secured with obvious screws.
will post one tomorrow...
Assuming these have decorative caps to conceal the screws - have you removed the caps and still don't see screws?
no caps, no screws....
unfortunately I don't have an un-mounted one to look at, or a mounted one I can do a bit of exploring on.....
I spy a blue plastic thingy. Use a small flat blade screw driver and pop that out and I think all will be revealed!
Good luck!
blue painters tape....pop that off and all you reveal is a cup....and it is literally a cup....
That looks like one that twist-locks into a metal cup - no screws, it just kind of press fits. Try rotating the hinge counterclockwise - should take less than a quarter turn to disengage, supposing there aren't detents preventing rotation. I'm guessing there's something like this (see pic) holding it in.
yes, that looks like it.....but I got the sense from talking to the rep that there are indeed detents....he sort of implied that removal was a "surgical" process.....
Looks similar to this:
that would be it...near as I can tell it has a positive locking method.....and a negative unlocking one :-(
