PANEL ASSEMBLY
STEP #1:
Using the Cutting Guide, cut the Safe Shutter components required.
STEP #2:
Install 22220025 Style/Rail Bracket.
Install Style/Rail Brackets on both sides of Top and Bottom Rails.
After completely inserting Style/Rail Bracket into each end of Rails, secure Brackets with screws. It is recommended to pre-drill the holes.
STEP #3:
Assemble Rails into the Styles and Install Light Stops.
Align assembled Bracket with “T” portion of Style and slide into position.
Slide Rails into Styles until Bracket rests on the top of the Style. Secure Brackets with screws. For best results, pre-drill the holes for the screws.
Rails have preformed slots for Light Stop.
Insert Light Stop into Rail slots.
Slide the Light Stop into Rail slots until it is fully inserted.
STEP #4:
Louver Assembly.
Install Louver End Caps into the ends of the Louvers
Make sure the Tilt Rail Post is positioned in the same direction on both sides of the Louver.
Make sure the Tilt Rail Post is positioned in the same direction on both sides of the Louver.
Install Louver with End Caps into the pre-made holes in the Styles:
#1: Install Louver End Cap Post into hole by holding Louver at an angle.
#2: Slide opposite side of Louver up the Style until in snaps into the corresponding hole.
#3: Continue until all Louvers are installed in the Panel.
STEP #5:
Install Tilt Rail.
Tilt Rails come pre-assembled in 60” lengths.
The Connectors are spaced at 3.250” intervals for ready installation.
Note the following recommendations:
1. One Tilt Rail is required per Panel. Two can be used but not required.
2. Install the Tilt Rail on the back of the Panel. Tilt Rail can be installed on the front of the Panel but not required.
Determine the length of the Tilt Rail by counting the number of Louvers in the Panel being produced.
Make sure the Tilt Rail Post is positioned in the same direction on both sides of the Louver.
When cutting Tilt Rail, leave 0.500” from last Connector to insert End Cap.
Apply glue to End Cap
...and slide into the end of the Tilt Rail.
Position Tilt Rail Connector over Louver End Cap Post and snap into place.
End Cap Post and Tilt Rail Connector are designed to accept a screw
...for tensioning Louver rotation if necessary.
Tilt Rail Assembly
Tilt Rails come pre-assembled in 60” lengths. They can easily be customized to the length required. Below, please see how the Tilt Rail is assembled when customization is required.
The Tilt Rail consists of the following components:
To assemble: Slide Tilt Rail components into the Tilt Rail Bar as shown.
Once the components are in position, glue the End Caps in place.
Finished Tilt Rail ready to install into Louver End Caps.
Shutter Panel is ready to install into Z Frame or L Frame. For Panels 48” and more in height, a Mid Rail is recommended.
STEP #6:
Install Mid Rail.
Note orientation of Mid Rail Brackets to be insert-ed into ends of Mid Rail. 2 Brackets per side.
Insert Mid Rail Brackets into ends of Mid Rail.
Make sure to align installation screw holes with bosses in the Mid Rail.
Install Brackets using screws. It is recommended to pre-drill the screw holes.
Position Mid Rail in correct location in Panel & secure in position with screws. Install Louvers above and below the Mid Rail as described in Step 4.
STEP #7:
Frame Assembly.
After cutting the Frame Components as per the cutting guide, assemble the miter cut corners using the Corner Pieces.
Assemble the top and side Frame first.
Install the Corner Pieces in the bottom portion as shown and then insert into the side Frame portions.
Make sure to push the Corner Pieces completely into the Frame.
Assembled Frame.
Add screws through the back portion of Frame and into the Corner Piece to secure and strengthen Frame corners.
