Questions & Answers
Prying out the broken pin will be necessary if the plastic pins are nylon. First put the large end of the replacement pin into the hole in the stile, following with the small end. Using a knife blade, push the spring loaded small end back into the large head. Ensure that the pin snaps into the hole in the end of the louver by setting the louver in place. Attached to the louver is a staple that holds the tilt bar in place. Put a drop of super glue on the staple legs on the louver and using needle nose pliers push the staple into the holes of the tilt bar or louver. If the staple does not go through the tilt bar, you can use a thumb nail. In order for the replacement pin to snap into the end of the louver, you will need to drill a hole in the end of the shutter if your shutter has wood pins.

A carpet installer broke 7 shutter blades in two of the rooms while installing carpet. So I am not surprised at the age of my shutters, which are almost 40 years old. It was only a matter of removing the old pins that caused me any difficulty. The old plastic was glued into place, and I found that using a drill to gently drill the old plastic out was the best and easiest way to eliminate it. At the ripe old age of 40 or so, they probably will look great for another 40 or so years.
Originally, this was supposed to be pins & needles A staple. Those staples didn't come with me. There is no problem with the pins. If you only get half of what you pay for, that's not a good trade-in value. I'm now being asked to return the entire order and refund my money A portion of the order did not arrive.
My plantation shutters weren't in good shape when I bought a house. A new shutter plank was purchased elsewhere, cut to length, painted, and shutter pins were installed. The condition is good Due to the difficulty of using staples, I ended up using eyelet hooks instead. It is a good idea to do so. The staples are easier to remove than the cable ties. There will be no difference between the two.

Besides being easy to install, the quality of the product is good.
