Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Before beginning, gather the necessary tools. You will need a hammer, a 5-in-1 tool (or similar paint scraper/putty knife), and a pair of wire cutters (also known as nippers or end cutters). These tools will be used for both removing the fasteners and any subsequent cleanup.

Goal: Prepare all required tools for the project

Tools and materials

  • 5-in-1 Tool — Prying and cutting the face of the shutter buttons
  • Hammer — Tapping the 5-in-1 tool and later tapping in new fasteners
  • Wire Cutters — Pulling or clipping off broken button stems

What they say

propainer. In this video, we're going to show you how to remove shutters that have easy lock shutter buttons on them. These do not have screws that are screwed into the house, but rather they got shutter buttons and they won't come out just by pulling them out cuz they have barbed easy lock buttons on them. And I'm going to show you how we remove them. We actually start off, you want to have a few tools in hand. You're going to want to have a hammer and you're going to want to have a 5 in1 tool that we use. And then we actually use a pair of wire cutters to actually pull the buttons out or clip them off if we have to.
