USING METAL SHUTTER SCREWS (NOT INCLUDED)
1. Prepare to locate spike holes by laying the shutter face DOWN on a clean, flat surface.
2. Use Figure 1 as a suggestion for ideal spike placement.
3. Raise the shutter from the surface or place over the edge of the surface and drill a 3/16-in. diameter hole in the
center of the stand-off through the back of the shutter.
4. Position the shutter on the house next to the window. Using a pencil, marker or nail, mark the mounting hole
locations on the building.
5. Remove the shutter and, where marked and drill a 3/16-in. diameter hole through the Wood, Vinyl or Aluminum siding
only.
6. If the wall is Wood – Drill a 1/8-in. diameter hole, 1½-in. deep into the wall. If the wall is Masonry or Brick – use a
screw anchor for 2-1/2 -in. #10 screw (not provided). Follow direction on the screw anchor package.
7. Position the shutter on the house next to the window and fasten, using a hand screw driver, with the 2½-in. #10 pan
head screws (not provided).
8. Do not overtighten screws into shutter/wall – this will cause deformation of the shutter surface.
