Shutter Hardware: Open and Shut

Reviewed by:

Authentic, working shutters on vintage homes require authentic, working hardware. These reproduction shutter stays (or holdbacks) are made of cast aluminum, ensuring a long, rust-free life

If you live in a windy city, you might want to opt for the anti-vibration brackets. These brackets pull the shutters taut against the home's wall.

Shutter Stays come in 6" and 7" sizes.

Priced at $19 and $22 per pair (anti-vibration bracket is $6)(January 2006).
