Required for Installation
Shutter-Loks (included with Duralok purchase)
Electric drill
1/4" drill bit
3/8" drill bit

Step 1:
Place the shutter next to the window and mark desired
location against the wall or window. See Figure 1.
Step 2
For smaller sizes use four Shutter-Loks per shutter. For
large sizes 55" and over, use six Shutter-Loks per shutter.
Step 3:
To help ensure proper alignment mark or pre-drill holes
using a 1/4" drill bit into the shutter before attaching it to
the wall.
Step 4:
With the shutter in location against the wall, drill through
the shutter into the wall surface 3 1/4" deep. Make sure
you drill holes deep enough so the Shutter-Lok doesn't
bottom out.
Step 5:
Grasp the Shutter-Lok supporting shank and push it
through the shutter hole and into the wall surface. Tap the
Shutter-Lok gently with a hammer to snug the shutter
against the siding. Do not over tighten , or this will cause
the shutter to
dimple.
NOTE: To remove shutters do not attempt to pull out the
Shutter-Loks. Simply use a pair of snips and slide them behind
the shutter to cut the Shutter-Lok off at the shank.
