Installing the Shutters (con't)
When the panels are level within
the frame, hold the frame in
position and place a screw in the
middle bottom frame hole. Make
sure the bottom frame is level
before setting screws.
If minor support or leveling is
required, turn the adjustable jamb
cap (also called Panel Locks) at
the bottom of the vertical jamb
stile to the required spot.
Fasten the remaining screws.
Insert the screws into the
remaining holes. Check to ensure
that the panels are level after
each screw has been screwed into
position.
The Panel Lock system does not
require any installation when
4-sided frames are used. The
Panel Lock caps have already been
installed in the ends of the stiles.
The plungers lock into the groove
of the frame.
If you received magnets, see
Magnet & Catch Placement section
for Installation details.

Place frame in opening. Make
sure the frame has been properly
assembled and is right side up.
Labels will identify each frame
piece.
Center the frame in the opening.
Insert screws (#8 x 1
1
⁄
2
") into the
pre-drilled holes of the top of
each side frame. Set the screws
into the window jambs.
Place frame in opening. The top
of the frame is indicated by a
greater amount of distance from
the top of the top hinge to the
edge of the frame.
The label will indicate left
and right sides, but labels do
not indicate top and bottom
frames, as they are usually
interchangeable.
Fasten the frame. Most frames
have pre-drilled holes placed
for ease of installation. Insert a
screws (#8 x 1
1
⁄
2
") in both the
left and right top side frame
holes. Center the frame in the
opening, then set the screw into
the window jambs.
NOTE: If the frame is significantly
smaller than the opening size,
then do not overtighten the
screws. Overtightening the screws
will cause the frame to distort.
Now you can hang the panels.
Set the panel(s) in the frame and
insert the hinge pins of the top
and bottom hinges only.
