REVERSIBLE SHUTTER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
USING PLASTIC SHUTTER SPIKES (INCLUDED)
TOOLS REQUIRED: Power Drill, Phillips Head Screwdriver, Tape Measure, Pencil or Marker, 5/16-in. Drill Bit,
1/4-in. Drill Bit.
HARDWARE INCLUDED: 24 ea. 5mm x 9mm screws; 12 plastic shutter spikes.
1. Remove Shipping Spacers and recycle as noted if FIG. 1.
2. Shutter ships with reversible panel installed with 2 each, 5mm x 9mm screws inserted. If this style is desired,
complete installation with 4 each 5mm x 9mm screws in each panel.
3. If panel reversal is desired, remove 2 each 5mm x 9mm screws from each panel, turn over insert panel so desired
style is out. Position rmly on panel tab receptor and complete by inserting screws as indicated in Fig 2. Repeat for
each panel as noted below. Do not separate raised panel and rustic panel when installing.
4. Prepare to locate spike holes by laying the shutter face DOWN on a clean, at surface.
5. Locate cylindrical stand-off at each corner and midpoint of the side stile. (SEE FIG. 2).
6. Raise the shutter from the surface or place over the edge of the surface and drill a 5/16-in. diameter hole in the
center of the stand-off through the back of the shutter.
7. Remove the shutter and, where marked, drill a 5/16-in. diameter hole through the Wood, Vinyl or Aluminum siding
only. Do not penetrate beyond the siding into the wall.
8. If the wall is Wood — Drill a 1/4-in. diameter hole, 2¼-in. deep into the wall. If the wall is Masonry or Brick – drill a
¼-in. diameter hole, 2¼-in. deep into the wall. Do not use a concrete anchor when installing with shutter spikes.
9. Position the shutter on the house next to the window. Place shutter spikes in each pre-drilled hole.
10. Using a hammer, gently tap in each shutter spike, until all shutter spikes are started. Do not fully drive spike into
wall. When all spikes are started, complete installation by driving spikes ush with the surface of the shutter.
11. Do not Overdrive spikes into shutter/wall – this will cause deformation of the shutter surface.
