ABSTRACT:
A foldable shutter for protecting sliding glass doors from storms and break-ins is formed of vertical panels hinged together. The panels are extruded with full length beads on both sides and are held together by long extruded hinge clips having separate channels into which beads of adjacent panels fit. These hinge clips are substantially longer than the panels and the ends are closed by closure members having pins extending into the channel and spacing the panels from the ends. These closure members support the shutter on rollers in an upper guide and guide the bottom of the shutter in a lower guide. The hinges have three separate functions--to hold the panels together, to support the shutters, and to hold the shutters in place in the guides. Locking end trim sections for the shutter are hinged to the end panels and are also longer than the panels for support and guidance.
