We offer an optional primer base coat that allows the powdercoating to last longer in salt environments. Like anything though, if they are not maintained regularly they will have issues long term. Some of the important things are to keep the grease for the slide pins and thumb screws changed out every 6 months if coastal to keep the pins from seizing. Also a freshwater/dawn mixture every once in a while will help keep them looking good for a long time.

You're welcome :)

I don't think its sold online - we buy it in bulk from our supplier. You can use Blaster brand dry lube that is sold at Home Depot. Works well as a lubricant for shutters too.

While these shutters can be used for security they are tested and designed for hurricane protection. Any determined person can get almost any gate/shutter open with the right knowledge, time and determination.

Glad it helped!

The pigeons keep popping

Unless you take out all the screws/hardware you cannot remove an accordion. They are not designed to be removed

This one is hard wired. They can be battery/solar operated but typically not an option we install.

The locks themselves are sometimes interchangeable between brands/manufacturers. Each shutter company typically have around 5 different keys for a type of lock. For example - as of right now HV locks only have 5 keys. (Keyed 1-5). Other company typically have 3-5 different key sets

@@leeroy8936 We have a lock that can be closed from the inside as well. This is just an example of an outside lock. Most of our customers prefer this type of lock because you do not need to remove your window screen or potentially move furniture to access the window.

Lexan is seldom cheap. You may find used Lexan panels from time to time.

If they were the same price, no one would buy the aluminum ones now would they....

@@cllistings5914 they literally are the same price

@@sueellen199 yes - they can have an optional manual override

It depends on the brand of lock you have - you can shoot me a picture of your lock on the accordion to richard@smartguardshutters.com and I will take a look

We currently do not offer shipping - only local pickup and local delivery

These particular shutters on this install are Nautilus

Bahama shutters are not designed for use on a sliding glass door - it would block the openings. Bahama shutters are meant for windows only

Absolutely!

The light isn’t getting through the slats but a slight bit is still visible at the ends and near the hood as these areas are not a perfect seal from the moving parts and tiny gaps

WD-40 is efficient and one of the best products when it comes to providing a momentary lubrication or rust protector. However, hurricane shutters is not the item you should spray WD-40 on. This is because WD-40 is hygroscopic and may attract unwanted moisture to hurricane shutters. Also, WD-40 doesn’t have enough lubrication effects to be useful on any kind of gearings. Yes, it can lubricate small gears, but hurricane shutters are different machinery and therefore, you should only use specialized gear lubricants on them. WD-40 also attracts dirt and dust. It can make the hurricane shutters discolored due to the accumulation of dirt. This will significantly reduce their performance. It can also ruin the components which might or might not be present inside the hurricane shutters. The best policy is to use another lubricant and stay away from WD-40 for hurricane shutters.

Your welcome :)
