Connect the frames

L Frames
Connect frames using the Hoffmann key provided when on the floor.
Slide each corner together.

Z Frames
Unlike the L Frames, the bottom of the Z frame is secured with screws with pre drilled holes.

T Post
Place the frame on the floor with the panels attached, then use a packer wedge to ensure a uniform gap at the top and bottom between the shutter side and the T-post. Once aligned, secure the T-posts by screwing them into the top and bottom.

Mount the panels

Panels are labeled for easy installation. Mount them from left to right, with A on the far left and B on the right for two-panel shutters. For four-panel shutters, A and B are on the left, while C and D are on the right.
Ensure the panels are positioned correctly with the label on the top edge. Secure each panel by sliding the hinge pin into place, then repeat for panel B.”

T Post?

If your shutters have a T-post, attach it while aligning the four panels. Use packer wedges to maintain even gaps between the panels and the T-post.
Ensure the T-post is straight, as misalignment can cause panels to drop and create uneven gaps. Secure each T-post with at least two screws (top and bottom) to prevent rotation.
