Help with Magnet kitchen shelves

have to unpack into the kitchen tonight and all the shelves are at the wrong height. Do I seriously have to take the doors off the cupboards to move them? They've these funny clear plastic clips that grip the shelf both above and below iyswim.

Any advice much appreciated!

No, we took the doors off to alter the shelves then the builder told me that the metal hinges clip on and off, don;t know how, will go and have a look - (am in mid kitchen refit at the moment)

Sorry the doors do have to come off but we unscrewed the hinges and apparently they clip on and off.

Just had a further look, if you take the soft close bit off then there's a clip on the far side of the hinge that pops it off, so no screwdriver, yay!

OK, so now how to you get the shelves back in having moved the clips? tried just sliding them but they don't seem to want to

Dh did it with a lot of hooching them about. They were not easy to move!

No they were not! Wish the builders had asked where we might want them but having said that I wouldn't have given a sensible answer with both children awake anyway. final fight was getting the doors back on but we're nearly in now. Thanks again for your help.
