#2 Acme Lull & Porter Mortise Shutter Hinges

John Wright combines modern high-quality finishes with the strength and traditional look and feel of cast iron. Acme, Lull & Porter (ALP) Shutter Hinges are mortised into the edge of the shutter and window casing. They use a once-patented design that helps to lock the hinge in the open position. The shutter is lifted up slightly to disengage the hinge and allow closure. The shutter can also be removed completely without tools. ALP hinges work in left- and right-handed pairs and are so marked. Each hinge has two halves: one with a pintle and another with a gudgeon. The pintle half is mounted to the window with the pintle pointing up. Offset is measured from the casing or shutter edge to the center of the pin. Use the diagram photo to help determine the proper size hinge for your application.
