LOUVER/PANEL INSTALLATION WITH SCREWS OR SHUTTER-LOKS

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 (Shutter-Loks), 11/64" drill bit (screws), hammer, Shutter-Loks and/or 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 with screws on any type of masonry.

STEP 1

Place the shutter next to the window and mark

desired location against the wall or window.

See Figure 1.

Note: Up to 43", use four (4) Shutter-Loks or

screws. 44" and greater, use six (6) Shutter-Loks/

screws per shutter.

STEP 2

To help ensure proper alignment, mark and pre-

drill holes into the shutter before attaching it to

the wall. Shutter-Loks require 1/4" hole, screws

require 11/64" hole and 1/4" hole if over 44".

See Figures 2A and 2B.

When installing shutters shorter than 44", drill

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

2A. If the shutter is 44" or greater, drill six (6) 1/4"

holes for Lok application or four (4) 1/4" holes and

two (2) 11/64" holes for screws. See Figure 2B.

STEP 3

Position the shutter in location against the wall and

drill through the shutter into the wall surface to a

depth of 3-1/4".

STEP 4

Tap the Shutter-Lok gently with a hammer or drive

in the screw so as not to over drive or over tighten.

NOTE:

To remove shutters, do not attempt to pull out

the Shutter-Loks. Instead, simply slide a pair of

snips behind the shutter to cut the Shutter-Lok off

at the shank.
