[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 2363762, member: 1242"] I have actually seen some old-fashioned looking shutters that were hinged to the window in such a way that they looked like they were bolted to the brick at first glance, but they had a latch on them you could release (on the outside edges) and they would swing in towards the window so you could lock them shut. The hinges were situated on the inside of the "swing" if you get my drift ... I'm sure there is some engineering or architectural term for it but I dunno what it is ... :scratch: These were custom made ... still looked pretty cool and any half-way handy fella could make them himself, I would think ... The looked kinda like the breeze shutters you see on the coast but were made of metal and the louvres were closer together and angled so you could see out when the shutter was shut but folks outside had trouble seeing in without getting down in a really awkward position and even then, they were looking up at the ceiling ... Lower louvres were blocked off completely ... [/QUOTE]
