If you do choose to lift LH1 off instead of rolling down to uncover the perforation, make sure the LH1 fingerplate is screwed down so it barely moves. It should have some movement but barely enough to get a piece of writing paper in between the pad and tonehole bedplace.
Adjust the amount of opening on LH1 to make sure you get a clear altissimo C# when LH1 is lifted off.
On oboes with no adjustment, you can have a thicker cork stopper fitted to the LH1 key foot to regulate the opening, or have someone fit an adjusting screw to get finer adjustment on it (a long 12BA screw will do).
On oboes d'amore and cors with no adjustment for the split top plate, you will have to roll to let the upper part of the split top plate open. An adjusting screw can be fitted, but it'll be more expensive as a key foot and adjusting screw pip will have to be hard soldered onto the key barrel, then plated, then refitted between the pillars and a new pad fitted.
