It is easy to install your new Finecraft™ wood shutters. Just follow the simple steps we have outlined in this guide. We recommend going through each section in sequence before you actually start installation. Before beginning we recommend that you have with you the following tools:- A high quality steel tape measure, cloth tapes are not accurate.
- A 9.6 volt power drill, with a spare back up battery
- A Robertson 3" long # 6 drill bit.
- A Robertson 3" long # 8 drill bit
- A pencil for mounting markings
We recommend that you please open all boxes from the centre flap and remove panels top first, then followed by bottom.
Do not open boxes from ends and pull panels out as they will damage.
ADJUSTABLE HANGING STRIP STEP # 1 - DETERMINING THE MOUNTING POSITION OF EACH PANEL Fincraft™ Custom Shutters
have a unique marking system to assist you in installing your order. The top of every panel will be marked with the order information. The order information includes the following information, reading from left to right, the last 3 digits of the order, line number and hinge configuration. On double hung sets, the top set will have a Tnext to the hinge configuration and the bottom set will have a B next to the hinge configuration.
STEP # 2 - REMOVE ALL HARDWARE FROM APPROPRIATELY LABELED BOX One of your received Finecraft™ boxes will be marked "HARDWARE" at the end of the box. Remove the knotted bag of shims, magnets, magnet plates, magnet screws and mounting screws. According to the number of panels for each window, distribute the hardware accordingly. Use the following legend as a guide to help determine proper quantities: STEP # 3 - INSIDE MOUNTS - Place the panel and the hanging strip into the opening, allowing for the barrel of the hinge to project slightly, and mark with a pencil the rear of the hanging strip for proper depth placement.
-
Remove the hinge pins and hand mount the hanging strip at the premarked depth and mark for predrilling of the strip (factory will pre-drill holes in hanging strip).
Warning: Hanging Strips and Light Stops may crack if not pre-drilled before mounting. - After pre-drilling, secure the hanging strip to the mounting surface at the pre-marked depth.
- Hold the panel in place and re-insert the hinge pin.
-
Repeat this procedure until all panels are hung.
- Close the panels to check that they meet in the centre
Warning: Use hand tools only when making all adjustments, no power tools - If closure is to tight or loose, loosen the screws and adjust all panels evenly in the necessary direction. Adjust for height then width in the same opening.
- If side adjustments are necessary, loosen the screws on the routed section of the hinge and
move from side to side to the desired location.
- Repeat this procedure until all panels are at desired closure
- Light stops and magnets can now be installed.
