Cabin Hooks

It took us a while to figure out that the metal clasps to keep the shutters closed were called 'Cabin Hooks'. We tried searching on the internet for shutter closers, window clasps, shutter locks, window latches, and throw over bolts before visiting the local hardware shop to find out their real name.

After a bit of internet searching we finally found these 100mm satin finish aluminium ones which are perfect! They arrived in the post on Friday.

We are going to paint the shutters the same light grey that we used for the front door which is shown in the photo (Farrow & Ball - Colour 228 - Cornforth White). I cant wait to see how it will look all done, but there is a lot of work to do before then.
