Home Owner
I recently got the tension repair kit. Kudos to you for engineering a simple, effective solution to a really frustrating problem. Our plantation shutters lack a tension screw, and your solution solved the problem perfectly. Thanks for the excellent instructions. After I did the first louvre, the others took me about five minutes each.

Great Kit
This was really easy. The video and the kit were excellent. The only thing I would mention is that the video indicates that you replace the none cut pin and the instructions have you reuse it. I was lucky and the holes in my blind were already 5/16” and in the stile 1/4”. The hardest thing is to take out the staple. This kit is wonderful.

Mr.
I had a large plantation shutter on a door, and it wouldn't stay open. The directions to provide more tension for the shutters were very clear, and by installing pins for one of the louvers, it repaired the shutters, so they are as good as new.

Best Option for Blind Tension
This is the second time I bought this Shutter Tension Kit. They’re the best in the market to repair sagging shutters. Our entire house had shutters installed 15 years ago and with time the shutters start to droop and not stay in place. The tensioner kit solves that problem. They’re easy to install and the kit brings everything you need even the drill bit. When the kids broke the shutter link on the French doors by pulling on the shutter I was able to easily repair the louder with this kit. If you have shutters this is a great item to have on hand.

The tension kit came as advertised. Instructions were great and very detailed. Kit even included two drill bits to fit the occasion. Have installed on two shutters so far and they work great. The question I always ask myself is would I buy it again and the answer is yes. I normally don't write reviews, but this one was worth sharing.

The Shutter Tension Kit is a grade "A" solution to floppy shutters! I'm a pretty resourceful handyman but fixing this problem had me stumped. I'm pleased that I located the Shutter Medic kit. It included EVERYTHING that I needed to make my shutters function properly.

After having no luck with any type of vendor who would repair my old school wooden plantation shutters I stumbled across this fantastic product. The video was extremely helpful. Took about 15 minutes per shutter to fix. Had a bid to repair 7 shutters, $700. Bought 2 of these kits, took about a half day to fix them all and saved $650. Bravo Shutter Medic! These work like a charm!

Mr.
This kit was exactly what I needed! Sagging plantation shutters were bothersome. I followed the instructions and replaced two louver pins in two shutters, and now they're as good as new. I only have one suggestion. In the explanation video, mention what the slat pins actually look like. I was trying to saw through the wider part of the pin with my razor knife before realizing I needed to push the pin to the side to expose the narrow side of the pin. Much easier!

Great product the hardest part of this project is getting the staple out and back in. My shutters stay where I want them. I did use two in this particular shutter.

I purchased the Shutter Tension Kit as I had to windows with 4' high wood shutters that would not stay in place. After receiving the kit I reviewed the install on the website video. The install went exactly as the video. Very easy and quick. All of the parts were in the kit for this t=repair and more for any future problem. Highly recommend this product and company. Now, if I could just get them to send a kit to touch up the paint!! HA

I had several floppy and loose woods shutters with no tension screws or anything to tighten up the slats. I found Shutter Medic online and trusted the reviews. The kit came as promised with great instructions. Once you figure out how to remove your shutter pin, it will only take you a few minutes. I highly recommend this repair kit to everyone with shutters.

I had a house full of plantation shutters that would not stay open. The slats would simply close when you tried to open them. I purchased and installed a couple of these kits and they work as advertised. Absolutely wonderful product!! I can not open and close my blinds without worrying about them falling closed! Definitely would recommend!

Thank goodness for this kit. It seems most companies now only use the screw adjustment shutters, so Shutter Medic came to the rescue. We repaired our shutters yesterday. The kit had everything we needed and instructions and video were easy to follow. Thank you!

Shutter tension repair
So glad that there’s a company like shutter medic that sells a product to fix the tension on shutters . The product was exactly as described and the video explaining how to fix the tension was outstanding. I now feel confident when I have to repair any of the shutters I have In my home . The only thing they should include in this kit is the staples that attach the blade to the lever incase you damage it doing the repair .

I am not that handy, but this product was easy to use and works well. The first one takes 10-15 minutes to do, but once you've done it, they take about 5 minutes. Would highly recommend for an easy fix. The pack will fix about 10 shutters.

Tension Kit
This kit has been a godsend for me as I have no tension adjustment on my plantation shutters. They work as advertised and I highly recommended this kit. Most of my loose shutters needed two louvres treated per panel. Excellent kit!

Just what the doctor ordered. Great fix for repairing shutters that won't stay open. Pro tip: the hole where you insert the spring may already be adequate without drilling. Beware that hole may be deeper than needed defeating the purpose of the spring. If so measure the depth of the hole, subtract the length of the spring, and insert a wooden dowel for the difference. Doing this will engage the spring providing tension.

A wonderful little kit with big results. It was very easy to install and works great. There's no reason for anyone to have loose shutters again. I highly recommend this kit.
