L-Brackets
The trim frame will also include
metal L brackets which are
attached to the back side of
the frame.
With the frame face down, set
a metal L bracket on the back
of the frame in each corner
Using the supplied screws,
(#6 x

"), place 4 screws in
each bracket to firmly secure
the corners.
If minor gaps appear, use
caulk or sealant to seal the
corners once the shutter is
completely installed.
Trim Frames
The face of this frame
resembles some window trim
and is used for inside mount
applications only.
The decorative flange hangs
over the edge of the opening
onto the face of the wall,
while the rest of the frame is
mounted inside the opening.
The Trim Frame is not designed
to be used on windows with
existing trim or molding. It
includes groove for Panel Lock.
Frames
Assemble the Frame
All Frames will be identified with
removable labels. Match the line
number of the frame with the
line number of the panel.
Do not remove the labels until
the product is installed.
Assemble the frame. Lay frame
sides flat beside the panels to
ensure that the frames will be
assembled correctly and that
the hinges on the panels and
the frames will be in alignment.
Frames are pre-drilled with
installation holes.
Installation holes are located
just below each hinge on the
side frames (except bottom hole
is located just above the bottom
hinge). Top and bottom frames
should have evenly spaced holes
no more than 16" apart.
Insert the plastic corner keys
into both ends of the top and
bottom frames. NOTE: Bonding
is only required for an outside
mount L-frame application.
