Mortised Shutter Stiles for Hinges
Mortise - A rectangular cavity in a shutter stile for inserting
a hinge allowing a tighter fit to the side of the window or
hang strip.
A
shutter mortise is a feature that is absolutely necessary to
create the best fitting shutter unit. It significantly reduces
the space created by the hanging hinge if mounted directly to
the surface. A surface mounted hinge creates a large gap between
the shutter and window jamb, or hang strip, that generally allows
light to penetrate through the opening.
A mortise in the shutter style should be deep
enough to accomidate both leaves of the hinge. It is then unnecessary
to mortise the window jamb, or hang strip.
