Simba,
It depends on the type of hinges you have. In any case the only way I know to do it is to cut through, or destroy the hinge (unless they are the flat type with removable pins). Once off, you have to rehinge. ... more work than a first time hinge job.
Good luck!

I've always found a barb wire fence very effective, after which a recover job is not only wanted, but necesary

Often small screws are used in one side of the hinge to facilitate removal. Never had a screw come out.
