I just do lockdown as usual, and commence turning the remaining eggs after the hatch.

Just stop turning the 4 a couple of days before hatch while continuing to turn the rest. Let the 4 hatch. They won't disturb the others enough to mess up their hatch. Take the 4 out when they're dry & put them wherever you have set up for your newborns. Good luck in your hatches, they'll be fine.
