mortise hinges Anonymous 2016-01-19 01:00:45 Post No. 932292 [Report]

How do I install mortise hinges? I got them for looks and the appeal of being able to take shutter off without unscrewing hinges, but the Amazon seller didn't include instructions. My windows are smallish pella vinyl. Planning to make shutters out of tongue and groove boards but haven't decided if I'm putting them inside or out yet, I'm probably going to have to put them inside since the window sticks out like an 1/8" out from the exterior trim boards

I have a fucking CRATE of those bastards...

Here's a dumb explanation.

In the photo, they are in their "OPEN" position, so the shutter would be open and flat on the wall.

The one side of the hinge screws to the narrow edge of the shutter board.

The other side of the hinge screws to the narrow edge of the window facing trim board.

When the shutter is closed into the window, the Butterfly of the hinge meets.

When closed the shutter and window facing trim should be flush.

Understand?

personally i would run a 2x4 or whatever around the outside to mount them too. then just paint or wrap the 2x4 with aluminum mounting directly to a vinyl window is prolly not such a good idea
