ASSEMBLING YOUR
SHUTTERS
1. Use the box knife to carefully open the boxes.
Remove the contents.
2. Place the panels in the correct order on the
floor, making sure they are the right way up,
and any rebates match up.
3. The framing pieces will be assembled first;
they will be labelled Top, Bottom, Left and
Right. Position all the frames on the floor, face
up.
4. The mitres are joined using Hoffman keys.
Place the Hoffman key onto a hard surface
on the floor (a piece of ply or timber kept
specifically for this purpose is recommended,
to prevent damage to the floor and to make
sure the key finishes flush with the back of the
frame) with the rounded end of the key facing
up. Push each half of the mitre onto the key,
until the mitre joins neatly and flush. Repeat
for each corner.
5. i) If the opening requires a T-post, identify the
top of the post and position loosely within the
frame.
ii) Place all panels within the frame in their
correct order, and insert the hinge pins.
6. Square up the frame so that all hinge and
clearance gaps are even, and adjust the
position of the T-post so that the panel gaps
are even. Attach the top and bottom frame
to the T-post using the screws provided. Your
frame should now be fully assembled.

7. Remove the hinge pins and panels from the
frame. (For small openings they can be left in if
it can be handled easily.)

Pre-drill a pilot hole from the back of the frame
to ensure that when you insert the screw to
secure the T-post, the screw does not punch a
hole through the front surface.
