LOUVERED SHUTTER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

USING PLASTIC SHUTTER SPIKES (INCLUDED)

TOOLS REQUIRED: Power Drill, Phillips Head Screwdriver, Tape Measure, Pencil or Marker, 1/4-in. Drill Bit,

5/16-in. Drill Bit.

1. Remove Shipping Spacers and recycle as noted if FIGURE 1.

2. Prepare to locate spike holes by laying the shutter face DOWN on a clean, flat surface.

3. Locate cylindrical stand-off at each corner and midpoint of the side stile. (SEE FIGURE 2)

4. 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.

5. Position the shutter on the house next to the window. Using a pencil, marker or nail, mark the mounting hole

locations on the building.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. Position the shutter on the house next to the window. Place shutter spikes in each pre-drilled hole.

9. 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 flush with the surface of the shutter.

10. Do not Overdrive spikes into shutter/wall - this will cause deformation of the shutter surface.
