Panel configuration diagrams detail the manner in which standard hinged panels and bi-fold panels open, close and fold using hinges. When ordering standard hinge and bi-fold Richwood® Shutter-Lites, you must record the panel fold configuration on the order form in both writing and as a sketch to make sure the shutter is built correctly in the proper configuration.

In Writing:

• A letter stands for each individual panel.
• The direction the panel folds is indicated using the letters "L" for left and "R" for right.
• Double letter combinations indicate bi-fold panels.
• The letter "T" indicates the location of a T-post. PLEASE NOTE: T-posts are not used in shutter units with the bi-fold track system.

As a Sketch:

• A small circle indicates the point where a panel is hinged to the wall, T-post or frame. The small circle also indicates a pivot when describing a shutter unit with track system.
• Thin lines are drawn to indicate individual panels as seen from overhead.
• Lines that are linked indicate bi-fold panels.
• A break in a line indicates where panels meet.
• The letter "T" indicates the location of a T-post. PLEASE NOTE: T-posts are not used in shutter units with track systems.

Panel configuration diagrams for standard hinged and bi-fold shutter units. Draw the panel fold configuration for each shutter in the appropriate box on the Richwood® Shutter-Lite Order Form. Please use the same notations as listed at left and the same sketches as shown above.

Elite does not require customers to draw panel configuration diagrams for shutter units with the bypass track system.

The above figure shows examples of some of the more common panel configurations to demonstrate how these diagrams should appear on the completed order form. Other configurations are available.
