INSTALLATION

FOR USE ON A VARIETY OF SURFACES INCLUDING:

Wood, aluminum, vinyl, stucco, hardboard, brick or masonry.

REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION:

Electric drill, 1/4" drill bit, 11/64" drill bit, screwdriver and screws.

Note: Shutters need room to expand/contract, be sure not to over tighten fasteners. To prevent shutters from warping,

proper installation must be followed. Wall anchors will be required for shutters installed on any type of masonry.

STEP 1

Place the shutter next to the window and mark

desired location against the wall or window as

shown in Figure 1.

Note: Up to 43", use four (4) screws. 44" and

greater, use six (6) screws per shutter.

STEP 2

To help ensure proper alignment, mark or pre-

drill holes into the shutter before attaching it to

the wall. When installing shutters shorter than 43"

drill four (4) 1/4" holes in the location shown in

"Four Screw Application" as shown in Figure 2A. If

shutters are 44" or greater, drill six (4) 1/4" holes

and two (2) 11/64" holes in the locations shown in

"Six Screw Application" as shown in Figure 2B.

STEP 3

Use enclosed screws to secure the shutter to the

wall surface. Do not over tighten. Shutters must

have room to expand and contract with changing

weather. Position the shutter in location against

the wall, and drill through the shutter into the wall

surface to a depth of 3-1/4". These instructions

use three-board shutters as the example. The

same techniques are used for shutters with four

and ve boards.

Four Screw Application

for shutters less than 55"

1/4" holes

11/64" holes
