Leveling/Squaring the Panels
Panel Lock Installation
Move bottom frame left or right
until the panels are level. If this
does not work then remove the
top left screw and move the left
frame side up or down
until the panels are level.
Once level, set the screw back
into the window opening. If this
does not work then try repeating
for the right side frame. (Also
could remove the top right
installation screw. Loosen or
tighten the top left side screw
until the panels are level then
re-install the top right screw).
When the panels are level and
square within the frame, hold
the bottom frame in position
and set a screw in the middle
bottom frame hole.
NOTE: Setting a bottom screw
may not be possible due to
marble window sills, etc. If this
is the case, set screws in the
lower side frame holes.

L-Frames Only
When magnets are supplied,
minor support or leveling can
be achieved by turning the
adjustable jamb cap at the
bottom of the vertical jamb
(stile) to the required spot.
Fasten the remaining screws.
Insert screws in the remaining
holes and check to ensure
panels are level after every screw
has been set 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 with the
L-Frame, see Magnet & Catch
Placement section for Installation
details.
NOTE: In most cases the window frames are
not plumb. Hinge shims will likely be needed
to properly align hinges and allow proper panel
operation.

Leveling & Squaring the Panels
Panel Lock Installation
Once the shutters and panels
have been installed, make a
mark on the frame with a pencil
to show where the center of the
Panel Lock Plunger is located.
Open the panel(s).
Place the Panel Lock Ramp on
the sill or window frame. The
front edge of the ramp should
be set back 1/8" from the front
of the panel.
Center the ramp on the line
marking the plunger location.
Mark the center of each screw
hole of each Ramp.
