About The Series
Many installations don't have sufficient wood on the window casing to accept the 1 1/2" width of a traditional plate pintle. The narrow plate shutter pintle often fits narrow casings and custom moldings without touching the millwork.
We often suggest that this configuration is used when the pintle will fasten into masonry - the two fasteners require far less drilling and installation time than four.
What is Standoff?
There are two schools of thought on a technical specification:
- Hinge Standoff is the measurement from the hinge back to the middle of the hinge knuckle.
- Pintle Standoff is the measurement from the plate back to the middle of the pintle barrel.
- These two measurements when combined create the Offset
- Other manufacturers and suppliers substitute standoff with offset. Either term aside, the hinge and pintle, when installed, combine to hang your open shutter clear of the window jamb and surface of the building.
