Step 7. Hanging shutters to hang strip

1. Step 7. Hanging shutters to hang strip Before hanging the shutters, screw magnetic catch plates to their bottom (or top) inside corners. Open a shutter and position it so that the L-shaped hinges sit snugly in the corner created by the hanging strip and window jamb. Align the top of each hinge plate with its line. Mark the screw holes and once again set the shutter aside. Use a 1/8-inch drill bit to make pilot holes at the marks. Loosely screw the hinges to the hanging strip with a Phillips-head screwdriver. Close the shutter and make sure it's even all around. Adjust it as necessary, then tighten the screws. Tip: Use a handheld screwdriver instead of a drill/driver in tight spots. It gives you more control, so damage is less likely to occur. Step 8. Fixing magnets or receiver catch Stick a catch magnet to the metal plate on the shutter. Close the shutter, making sure it's flush with the front of the window. With the magnetized catch sitting on the windowsill, mark the location of its screw holes. Remove the catch from the shutter and position it atop the marks on the sill. Screw the catch to the sill with a Phillips-head screwdriver. Repeat for the other catch. Tip: A shutter (or door) is correctly aligned when the two halves of each of its hinges rest fully and squarely against each other when it's closed.
