My name is Will Greene. The elements of this section represent this blacksmith’s attempt to begin at the beginning to help you understand how shutter things fit together.

We have learned that considering shutters and hardware as an integrated package as early as possible in the planning process is the best approach to save time and money when installing shutters. Your shutters can be of any appropriate style and hung to the home in a number of different ways – it’s the right hardware that makes them work.

There are a number of dimensions and a bunch of terms involved and it’s easy to feel confused at first. We encourage you to call us to discuss your installation needs and share our expertise to define the solution that best fits your situation. We design and make our hardware to install as simply as possible. Savings on installation costs often more than make up the price difference for higher quality hardware.

All hinges, pintles, and tiebacks are priced by the pair. "Unpainted” indicates the unpainted price, “painted” indicates the pieces are finished with “e-coat”. Painted pieces are individually packaged, unpainted hardware is shipped bulk. Unpainted hardware offers you the option to apply a custom finish or you can just save some serious money by painting yourself - instructions included with all unpainted hardware. Installation instructions are provided with every order.
