Questions before you order
For help with an existing order, contact the seller through Amazon.
What comes with one replacement?
Each unit includes one cut-to-length louver and the selected installation kit.
How do I measure if my louver is broken?
Use an intact louver from the same shutter panel with the same profile and connection. Measure the louver body end to end, excluding pins. Measure across its face to get the width, then check the cross-section thickness.
How do I tell which hardware kit I need?
Check for a visible rod on the front, a linkage on the back or a gear connection at the louver ends. Compare the kit dimensions to your original. Wood and aluminum-core PVC gear connections use different kits.
Which length option do I select on Amazon?
Use the range that includes your exact finished body length: 1 to 21 inches, over 21 to 30 inches, or over 30 to 38 inches. Then enter the exact length on Amazon, excluding the pins.
Can I specify a custom hole or gear-slot position?
The available preparation options use fixed hole, notch and slot dimensions. Compare the preparation diagram with your existing louver before ordering.
Will the finish match an older shutter?
Older finishes can change color with age and light. Compare the available finish with your original in daylight.
