7. Use a 5 in 1 tool to slip behind and pull it out gently from one corner.
8. If plantation shutters are installed with nails instead of screws, use a hammer or screwdriver or drill to drill out the middle of the shutter-lok with a 1/8″ bit, then use stainless shutter screws and caps.
9. Locate the hinges that attach the plantation shutters to the hanging strips and open the shutters all the way to access hinge screws.
