Vinyl Shutters
During a recent thunderstorm one of our vinyl shutters was torn off of the
house. When we went to reinstall the shutter (with the new plastic screws) we realized that the original plastic screws were sheared off within the drill hole. Any suggestions for removing the old screws from the drill holes? We have tried needle nose pliers and tried to redrill the holes but nothing has worked. |

Maybe you need to contact Manuel Dexterity. :')
Seriously, shouldn't be a big deal to either drill it out, or extract it. Practice, practice, practice, or find someone competent. New category, eh- "drill hole"? If all else fails, insert screws right next to old ones. This _is_ flexible plastic stuff. J |

Vinyl shutters typicaly use a barbed style mount that simply pushes in to the pre-drilled hole. You can not unscrew them and they are very difficult to pull out. When they break they are normally pushed further in to the wall which forces them to fall in to the wall cavity. |
