HOW TO INSTALL YOUR
DIY PLANTATION SHUTTERS?
Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace
Choose a flat and spacious area to work in. Lay down a protective covering to prevent damage to your shutters or workspace surface.
Step 2: Assemble the frame
Ensure the cover strips are removed from the frame and place the frame sides front face down on the floor. Each frame side is marked on the mitered end with a letter to indicate which frame side it is:
Step 3: Mount the Shutters
Positioning: To start, use your spirit level on the bottom window sill, and then to the left and right of the window reveal. This will give you an indication that window frame is reasonably square. Place the frame into the window reveal.
Installing: Your frames will already be pre-drilled from the factory. For best adjustment and alignment of the shutter frame, screw the Top, Left and Right sides of the frames making sure that the Top frame is hard up against the top window reveal. Using the spirit level to check that the side frames are straight then screw the side frames at the bottom. Once you feel that the shutter frame is square, it is time to install the panels.
Step 4: Now, you are ready to hang your shutter panels
Placing your panels into position within the shutter frame, align the hinges that are already attached to your frame and panels together, then place the hinge pins into the hinges. Repeat until all panels are attached. Ensure the shutters swing freely and align properly with the shutter frame. Use the hinge packers to make adjustments if the panel(s) within the frame does not appear to be square or aligned.
When you are happy with your panel alignment, insert the small hinge screw into the round hole on the hinge to lock them in position.
Step 5: Final Adjustments
Check all screws and connections to ensure they are tight and secure. Make any final adjustments to the shutters to ensure they open and close smoothly and fit snugly against the window frame. For pre-drilled screw holes, cap them off with the hole cover provided.
Step 6: Clean Up
Dispose of any packaging materials and clean your workspace. Enjoy your newly installed DIY Easyfit window shutters!
