INSTALLING WITH FRENCH CLEAT BRACKETS (see instructions for more details)
1. Attach french cleat bracket to shutters. French cleat brackets should be fastened to shutters with holes on top. Predrill, then fasten with screws. Repeat on
bottom of shutters with holes remaining on top.
NOTE: Ensure bottom of French cleat bracket does not exceed shutter.
2. Attach French cleat brackets to structure. French cleat brackets should be fastened to structure with holes on
bottom. Pre-drill, then fasten with screws.
3. Slide shutter with French cleat brackets installed, over the top of the French cleat brackets that are installed on the
stucture.

INSTALLATION NOTES
• French cleat brackets are intended for flat surfaces only and will not install properly on uneven siding,
stone, or other uneven surfaces. If surface is uneven, install with hinges/pintels, or use screws through
the front of the shutter into the structure. Touch up may be requried if using alternate method of
mechanically fastening shutters to structure with screws.
• Masonry surfaces require anchors for screws to properly secure the brackets to the structure. Anchors
are not provided, but may be sourced through a local hardware supplier. Screw type and length may vary
depending on install surface. Installer to determine screw type, length, and anchoring methods.
• French cleat brackets do not mechanically fasten the shutter to the structure and rely on the weight of
the shutter and gravity to hold the shutters in place, similar. This method provides the most concealed
where fasteners are not visible with no touch up required.
• Instructions are intended to be general in nature. Applications, techniques, and requirements may vary.
• Use discretion when penetrating surfaces.
