  5. Keep the shutter in place, square and level up the rolling shutter. Mark the location of the other guide rail holes.
  6. Make sure shutter is being held flush against the wall. Mark a vertical along side of the control side end cap and the guide rail. Mark a horizontal mark at the point where the control side guide rail meets the end cap and also make a mark at the top of the end cap. Remove the support and carefully lower the shutter to a flat surface.
  7. On the vertical line you just made, measure in toward the window 5/8". If the shutter is a top exit, measure down from the top line 3/4".
