Okay, you said to use a 5/16 for a clearance hole for the plastic spikes, but I did hear what size you drill in your sheeting for the spikes. I have a 43 year old house with celotex sheeting. Will these spikes hold my shutters in wind?
When using a spike and attaching through vinyl siding, what do you do about the wood behind the vinyl? The spikes will only go so far into to vinyl before hitting the wood.
I'm wondering the same thing, I had a couple spikes/fasteners break and I pushed them through with a screwdriver and hammer. Is that going to be a problem when I put them back on.?
The video mentions if using spikes drill a 5/16 hole in the shutter, NOT a 1/4 drill bit. And then the video says use a 1/4 drill bit for Spikes and put tape on the bit to help you only go so far for a clearance hole, but when the guy does it, it says to use a 5/16 bit again. I don't understand. At what point am I supposed to use the 1/4 drill bit for Spike mounting?
@@Annie-px5nithe smaller bit goes into the siding and through the sheathing of the house. The spikes grab onto the siding and the sheathing to hold. The hole has to be smaller for the most grab of the spikes
How hard do you hammer in the screws so you dont break the window? I already broke 2 windows and fell off the roof once. Its hard hanging a ladder from the gutters, i dont see how people do it all the time.. i tried mounting them with super glue but is too hard to hold them in place for as long as the ue sets up so been trying to get the screws hammered in..

I would love an answer to the question about only drilling through the vinyl siding and not the wall. Where is the rest of the fastener going to go? Is it only held on by the vinyl siding?
He mentions the critical step of drilling 1-3/4 inches in the siding with the proper diameter bit but does not show it on the video. That drilling does hit the wood underneath the siding at the proper depth. Bad video for something so critical to the process. Then he shows only the drilling of the final sized hole in the siding only. That is because the tighter fit is in the wood and he doesn't want you to drill it with the bigger bit, hence only drill the siding at that point.
If your house is made of brick, we would recommend using the vinyl shutter spikes. You can use the metal screws with brick, but would also need to use an anchor with each screw. Hope this helps!

I'm curious about the expansion and contraction of the vinyl siding. With the screws or spikes installed through the shutters and into the siding, the vinyl siding will be unable to expand or contract without buckling.
If you use the proper drill bits for drilling through shutters/siding and beyond the siding into the house, the screws or spikes should be tight in the house but have some play at or near the siding and shutters. This extra space allows for the expansion/contraction of the siding/shutters!Hope this helps clarify!
@@perfectshuttersinc8274 yes, this makes sense, the holes in the vinyl siding are bigger than the screw or spike allowing for movement of the vinyl. Thanks!
I got lost at around 2:11 when you say to change bits to a 1/4" for a spike and a 1/8" for a screw but then around 2:45 you are back to a 5/16" and a 1/4" again for the siding?? What was the 1/4 and 1/8 for ??
1/4 hole in the shutter is so the threads of a panhead screw will clear the shutter. 5/16 hole is for the spike. 1/8 hole is the pilot (in the siding) for the panhead screws.
@@gokblok Actually just threw up 7 Pairs. The ones from home depot vinyl.shutters come with the plastic spikes or the screws. In that kit, and most you drill your 1/4 inch holes in the shutters. Line up the shutter and drill 3" 1/4 into the vinyl with the 1/4 inch again. . Tap the spike carefully with a hammer. Rediculously easy took a couple hours installing 7 pairs and 4 on a second story.

You guys struck a good balance of subtle humor. Well done. Great video!
Humor is on point. I followed these instructions while hammered, didn't fall off the ladder, and the shutters look great. 5 stars!

That last screw though, nothing to grab, great acting lol
Does it matter which side faces out? 😉 Just kidding, your video was simple yet thorough, better than others I saw regarding shutter installation.
What is the easiest way to remove the spike mounts without damaging the shutter?

Wont the water go inside these holes in the siding when theres rain?
I'm glad you made a video.. for people like me..
Thank you for this video! Easy to keep along and the tips made it a lot easier than I thought.

Not installing on siding or brick , but on stucco do I use the same instruction as if installing on siding ?
Dennis Pedrotti Yes it would be the same application

Its for the "clearance" hole ONLY.in the vinyl siding screw vs peg style. Yup confusing but watch the video 17 times lol. Just kidding. Good luck!
1/4 hole in the shutter is so the threads of a panhead screw will clear the shutter. 5/16 hole is for the spike. 1/8 hole is the pilot (in the siding) for the panhead screws.

You forgot ladder in the Tools Needed list; the most expensive requirement.
what size screws?

Are you screwing only to the vinyl siding, or to something underneath? What size pilot hole for the screws?
Nice video smart a%$ lol 😄👍🏻
Here’s an easier way: duct tape the shutters into position and drill through the shutter and the siding at the same time. Then secure in place.
You sir, should start your own channel on how to DIY without giving a flip! 😂
Come on now , a drill will only go as far as u want it to lol they stop when u release the trigger not when they want to lol great vid though
step 5, is an error???1/4" for spike?
Needs to be 1/4 so the spike can hold, they are 5/16 and 1/4 will make them fit snug.
@@davidg6921 I watched this video 7 times. At what point do we use a 1/4 drill bit for Spike mounting???
It says put tape on a 1/4 drill bit for a
1 3/4 inch deep hole...and
THEN Step 6 says only use 5/16 drill bit as he's using that drill bit with the tape marker.
AM I GOING CRAZY??
@@mickael486 oh heck, sorry, I cant remember back how I did it now, or why, shirt term memory fading quickly these days.

Proper mounting for asbestos shingles, please? Thank you
I saw shutters like those the other day at a big box store and we sure do settle for absolute trash straight from china
These product are made 100% in the USA
I got lost after the lay on a flat surface comment
It would have been a good instructional video if not for the condescending remarks lol.
Totally agree
😂😂😂
Wtf
Little too patronizing and annoying!
Awww. He made the baby sad☺
What is the purpose of these shutters if mounted with wall without hinges.... r u fool
It call decoration. Where I live we only use interior shutters. Exterior shutters is for decor so house looks less boring.
