About The Series
A heavy lag screw with 1/2" diameter shank and welded 1/2" hinge pin. These lag pintles have a very nice finished appearance which looks quite similar to the original drive pintles when installed.
Screw length allows adjustment of the pintle standoff on site.
Installers have reported good results with drilling a 1/2" diameter hole in wood or masonry, coating the threads with an appropriate adhesive, then tapping the pintle into the desired depth.
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.
