Shutter Hinges
Exterior shutter hinges pivot to allow panels to swing open and closed. Most wood exterior shutters require only two hinges, but extremely tall panels may benefit from more (requiring a divider rail). Composite shutters are heavier than wood and often need additional hinges for support. A variety of cast iron hinges are offered for most outside window configurations. Mortise hinges, surface hinges, and strap hinges are available for your unique window.
Shutter Dogs
Exterior shutter dogs are manufactured in many distinct designs, including the traditional s-shape, flower, sea shell, grapes, and star patterns. Shutter dogs positioned vertically keep exterior shutters in an open position. Rotating the shutter tieback horizontally release the opened shutters to swing closed. These fittings can be either screwed or bolted to the house or building. Authentic solid cast iron shutter dogs add a personalized touch to any home.
Shutter Bolts
Stainless steel or cast iron shutter bolts enable a homeowner to lock exterior shutters in a closed position over the window. A slide latch fastens to the horizontal rail of one shutter close to the inside edge. The receiver attaches to the adjacent shutter and the bolt slides between the two parts. This shutter hardware is operated from inside of the building. They are easily opened by releasing the latch and pushing the shutter to the side of the window.
Shutter Pulls
Shutter pulls permit the user to easily draw the shutters toward the window. The galvanized steel ring is easy to grasp from inside the window. Shutter pulls are available in several forms to confirm best to the desired operation.
Bahama Shutters Hardware
Bahama stays, or rods, push the bottom of the exterior shutter away from the window. They can easily be adjusted to set the angle of the shutters. Bahama shutters hinge from the top, allowing the bottom to separate from the building. Bahama shutters are louvered panels largely used in the Southern United States to provide filtered sunlight with maximum ventilation.
Exterior shutter hardware is not strictly utilitarian. Hinges, shutter dogs, bolts, and pulls increase the visual appeal of composite and wood exterior shutters alike. Non-functional shutters are often installed with authentic hardware for aesthetic purposes to enhance the overall appearance of the window shutters and unified home.
