🔒 Ekena Millwork LVSL0008BL 3 inch Lifetime Vinyl Shutter-Lok's in Black (8/Bag) - Pack of 8 for Enhanced SEO Review

trying to install them was a nightmare, they bent and you couldn't straighten them. I will try another way later, I am now a cancer survivor trying to regain my strength and my husband recently had back surgery. Neither of us can do anything right now.

I needed 2 packs but ordered 3 because some reviews said they were bent and didn't hold the shutters in place. Of the 16 attempted, 2 went in and held on while the rest flexed and failed to fix the breech. I ended up buying Lowe metal curtain screws with plastic caps to cover the screw. It worked and was very user friendly. Those plastic clasps were useless and I wouldn't recommend using them.

Fasteners (plastic) do not work well on masonry. Most of the development has vinyl siding, but the condos are clad in brick. It was tricky, but I drilled a hole for the grout and filled it with construction glue first, then reattached the blinds. I only wish the gray tuxedo buckles were stronger to insert, but I blame the contractor for this accident. I believe these brackets are for wood and vinyl siding only. Many Thanks.

During a recent storm my vinyl blinds were partially ripped off. I was able to pry the heads off the old pins with a claw hammer. Using a 1/4" bit I was able to go through the hole in the breech and either drill out what was left of the old broken pin or drill a new hole nearby. After that a new pin was placed in both holes and tapped lightly on the hammer, to finish the job I just bought a few more to have on hand My shutters are 25 years old and on the sunny side of the house.
