Pique your Interest with Shutter Pintles!

Shutter pintles are used along with a hinge to create the proper offset in securing a shutter to your structure. They are also available in different styles to cater to your specific needs. Keeping in mind the correct weight and width specifications required is very important before installation.

How to Choose Shutter Pintles

Since the look, fit and movement of a shutter is largely dependent on the hinge and pintle used to secure it, it becomes imperative that you choose the correct fit. With a variety of sizes, this is an easy task!

Once you have decided on a specific shutter, decide what kind of pintle best matches it. Are you looking for hardware to give your exterior shutters a look of class or are you looking for hardware that lends itself to functionality? With shutter pintles coming in various configurations, it’s easy to get one to match your décor!

If you’re looking to maintain that rustic look, opting for a jamb pintle, which resembles the look and feel of cast iron, might pique your interest.
