SLIDING SHUTTERS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. FRAME ASSEMBLY
If this is 2, 3 or 4 sided, then refer to Diagram C for frame assembly instructions. Once
the frames are assembled, installation holes are required by using a 10mm drill bit.
A. For a Recess mount, drill a 10mm hole through the first layer of vinyl, within the
mounting area every 254mm starting at each end of the frames (TOP Only).
B. For a Face mount, drill a 10mm hole through the first layer of vinyl at the front
edge of the reveal of the frame every 254mm (Top Only).
2. TOP FRAME INSTALLATION
A. For a Recess/Inside Fit mount, fasten the top frame to the opening, making sure it
is level; shim to level if necessary.
B. for a Face mount, set the frame against the wall. Level the top and fasten the top
frame to the wall, utilising provided L- brackets. (if wider than 2 metres)
3. ALUMINIUM TRACKS
Mount aluminium tracks to the extreme left of the opening of the frame by screwing
through the predrilled holes in the track to the extrusion lines on the underside of the
top frame
4. WHEELS
Insert wheel carriers inside each aluminium track. Two carriers are assigned to each
panel so check TWO carriers are assigned to each panel and check the panel
configuration to determine the correct number of carriers are in each track.
5. ATTACH DOUBLE PANELS IF APPLICABLE
When two panels are to be joined, lay panels face up and side by side on the floor.
Remove the two interior top jamb caps. Insert the panel joiner by sliding it into the
two interior jambs (See Diagram G). Place the jamb caps back onto the top jambs.
6. ATTACH LIGHT BLOCK FOR OPEN SLIDING
2 pieces of vertical jamb will be supplied for every overlap when Open Sliding is
ordered. One piece of vertical jamb is mounted at the back of the interior edge of
the front panel, while the second piece is mounted at the front interior edge of the
rear panel. For either option, drill a 10mm hole starting at the top, every 500mm
through the first two layers of vinyl. Screw the vertical jamb to the panel and cap
holes with button plugs.
7. HANG SHUTTERS
Push the door plates onto the adjustable nut of the wheel carriers.
8. LEVEL PANELS
Adjust one panel in line with the window mullion, adjust the other panels in line with
this panel. Now lock the panels by tightening the 11mm lock nut.
9. SECURE SIDE FRAMES IF APPLICABLE
To prevent the ends of the frames from being distorted by the frame assembly
screws, spacers are placed at each end of any frame that has adjacent side frames.
During frame assembly, the screw will pass through the top frame and spacer, then
into the side frame.
Secure the side frames, plumb with the panels. Cap the holes with button plugs.

18 | P a g e
10. ATTACH VALANCE
Attach valance brackets to the front of the frame. Once all brackets are secure,
position the channel on the back of the valance so that it rests on the bracket. The
valance will need to be on a 45 degree angle, with the bottom of the valance
further into the room. Rotate the valance down to a vertical orientation until locked
into all brackets. Returns can be attached using the same bracket or glued in place
using a corner key and loctite glue.
11. BOTTOM TRACKS
Install bottom tracks plumb with the centre of the top tracks. Use either the screws
provided or silicon along the centre of the track. Insert two spring loaded bottom
guides into the bottom of each panel and then engage into the bottom

19 | P a g e
SLIDING SHUTTERS FRAME ASSEMBLY
1. Insert the provided 3 screws though the top frame
2. Line up the screw through the screw ports inside the side frames (fasten tightly)
