Tools & Parts
First, make sure you have all the parts and tools required to install your shutters.

Pencil, ¼" nut driver, level, and a drill with a
1
⁄
16
" drill bit.
RECOMMENDED TOOLS:
Drill (Cordless), Tape Measure, Box knife, #2 Phillips drill tip, #6 Countersink drill bit (for
light block) if nails will not be used.
Make sure “Item #” box label matches if multiple panels will be used. This application WILL
NOT have frame boxes to match with the “Item #” however, in a multiple panel situation,
you may have multiple boxes.
• Do not dispose of packaging until the shutters are operating appropriately.
• Use of a moving blanket or drop cloth is recommended.
• Find ample working space to assemble your frame (preferably in front of the window).
• Check the diagram to make sure you have all the parts indicated for the appropriate type
of installation.

hinge pin.
Slide panel to left
window jam.
Note mark on wall/
jam.
Panel in the window
opening.
Mark should be made
on the wall/jam at the
bottom of the hinge.
Installing the Left Hinge
Carefully remove panels and light blocks
from the packaging. Do not mix panels for
other windows.
All light blocks will be labeled: Top,
Bottom, Left, and Right.
Before placing the left panel into the
window opening, locate ALL loose-
leaf hinges and attach each to its
panel hinge with hinge pins provided.
NOTE: The hinge is a 2-part hinge
held together by the hinge pin.
Once the loose-leaf hinge is secured
onto the panel hinge, place the left
panel in the opening and slide to the
left window jam. Once aligned with
the left window jam, space the height
gap evenly in the window opening.
Tip: To distribute the height gap evenly on the top
and bottom, a shim is recommended.
Tip: The shim that is marked with a pencil, can be
used as a guide for the right panel height spacing.
After you have evened the height
gap, make a small mark where the top
hinge will be installed on the window
jam at the bottom of the hinge.
