Exterior Shutter Hardware & Hinges

The right hardware is what turns a pair of shutters into a lasting part of your home — whether you need working hinges and pintels that swing true, decorative shutterdogs that hold panels open in the wind, or specialized Bahama supports for top-mounted shade. Browse our shutter hardware by category below. Every piece is chosen for durability and finished to coordinate, so your entire installation looks like it belongs together.

Hinges & Pintels

Every functional shutter starts with the right hinges and pintels, and Sunbelt Shutters carries the styles that let your shutters swing true for decades. Pintels mount to your home, jamb, or masonry, while the matching hinge straps fasten to the shutter itself, working together so the panels open and close smoothly and sit flat against the wall. We stock the classic New York and plate pintel styles along with off-set and straight configurations to match nearly any mounting surface and reveal depth. Cast from durable, rust-resistant materials and finished in traditional black, they hold up to sun, rain, and coastal humidity year after year. Whether you are restoring a historic home that needs authentic hardware or hanging a brand-new pair of louvered or raised panel shutters, choosing the correct hinge and pintel combination is the difference between shutters that merely decorate and shutters that genuinely work. Not sure which offset you need? Our team can help you measure and match.

Tie Backs & Shutterdogs

Shutterdogs, sometimes called shutter tiebacks or holdbacks, are the decorative-yet-functional pieces that hold your open shutters firmly against the house so a gust of wind cannot slam them shut. Sunbelt Shutters offers the timeless shapes homeowners love: the S-scroll, the rat-tail, the acorn, and the classic circle or plate styles that anchor the look of Colonial, Cape Cod, and Lowcountry homes. Each is cast for strength and finished to resist rust and weathering, mounting cleanly to wood siding, brick, or stucco. Beyond their good looks, shutterdogs serve a real purpose on working shutters, keeping panels open and secure until you choose to close them. Many customers add them to fixed decorative shutters purely for that authentic, finished detail that dresses up a facade. Available in traditional black and other period-correct finishes, our tiebacks pair naturally with our hinge and pintel sets so your entire hardware package matches. Choose the profile that complements your home's architecture and shutter style.

Slide Bolts

Slide bolts, also known as shutter bars or locking bars, let you secure functional shutters from inside or out, an essential piece of hardware for anyone whose shutters actually close over a window or door. Sunbelt Shutters supplies sturdy slide bolt assemblies designed for smooth operation and long service life, cast and finished to stand up to the elements. Because openings vary, several of our slide bolts are offered with a custom length so you can order the exact reach your application requires rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all part. This makes them ideal for both historic restorations and new construction where working shutters provide genuine storm and sun protection. The traditional black finish complements our hinges, pintels, and shutterdogs, keeping your hardware cohesive across the whole installation. Whether you are outfitting a single pair of Bahama shutters or a whole home of louvered panels, a properly sized slide bolt gives you the secure, rattle-free hold that separates true functional shutters from purely decorative ones. Ask us about sizing.

Bahama Hardware

Bahama shutters, also called Bermuda shutters, hinge at the top and prop open from the bottom to shade windows from harsh sun while still letting in light and breeze, and that top-mounted design calls for its own specialized hardware. Sunbelt Shutters carries the complete Bahama hardware package: the continuous top hinges or pintel sets that carry the weight of the panel, plus the adjustable side arms, storm bars, and support stays that hold the shutter open at your preferred angle and lock it down when weather threatens. Built for coastal conditions, these components are finished to resist salt air, humidity, and relentless sun. Correct Bahama hardware is not optional; it is what makes the shutter operate safely and hold its position year-round. Whether you are hanging a single accent shutter over a kitchen window or outfitting an entire beachfront elevation, matching the right hinges and support arms to your panel size ensures smooth, secure operation. Tell us your shutter dimensions and we will help you select the proper Bahama hardware set.
