Is It On The Level?
When Summerwind
Shutters are installed, panels are adjusted to
being as close to level as the window allows.
Because some windows are not perfectly square...okay,
because most windows are not perfectly
square...sometimes a little extra adjustment is
needed.
In order
to make this adjustment easy, Summerwind Shutters made by
Designer Blinds now have a leveling cap at the lower
non-hinged side of each panel.

 |
These
caps have been included on all panels for several
months. The simple screw adjustment makes it easy to
make minor tweaks to the shutter panels after they've been
installed. |
| "The
beauty of it is," says Mike, " You don't even
need a screwdriver to make an adjustment. Just reach
into your pocket and grab a coin." Mike has
never been one to play around with small change, so he
uses quarters. |
 |
 |
The screw
is turned all the way in to begin with. To raise the
panel, use a quarter to turn the adjusting screw in a
counterclockwise direction. If you take it too far,
simply lower the panel by turning the adjusting screw in a
clockwise direction. |

| Retrofitting Older
Shutters |
| The adjustable cap is may be retrofitted
to shutters that were made before it's use. In most
cases it can be accomplished with the shutter set in
place. Use a razor knife to carefully loosen
and remove the old end cap as shown below. Replace
it by pressing or tapping the new adjustable cap into
place. |

Mike says, "Thanks for letting us
share our little panel discussion." |
