About The Series
The Brandywine Forge Offset Shutter Pintle is an exclusive design that allows the shutter hinge pin to sit off-center relative to the pintle plate.
Useful where a narrow section of casing is available to mount the pintle, but the shutters need to swing on an axis other than the mid-point of the casing.
Left/Right Mount: Defined as standing on the street and looking at the home. Left Shutters use Left Mount Pintles and vice-versa.
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.
