When measuring the window or door for a hurricane shutter, make sure that you are measuring from the inner walls or the outermost edge. For example, if the door is inset into the wall, measure

from the inner walls of the inset.

​

Procedure

​

• Begin at the front door and work clockwise around the house.

• For windows, horizontally measure from the inside edge of the opening. Then vertically measure from the inside edge of the top to the bottom. All shutters use a track system so make sure you then add at least 3in of flat surface to each measurement.

• For doors, horizontally measure from one inside edge of the openings, vertically measure from the inside edge of the top to the floor.
