Hurricane Window Clips 20 Pack (Carbon Steel, 1/2")

I have bought and used this product in the past. Two Hurricanes so far in Houston, TX. No window problems.If you live anywhere near a coastal region and had tropical storms/Hurricanes, you need this product. It is the only way to install plywood that fits snugly into a window opening without using screws or nails. Once you cut the plywood to size, install the clips on the edges of the plywood and push the plywood into the opening. It locks in place. Removing is also easy. Just pry one clip away from the window with a pry bar or large screw driver and the rest just pop off when you pull on the plywood. I keep the plywood in the garage up against the wall with the window location noted with a permanent marking pen, so I can use them over and over again.

I live in Tampa, Florida. I purchased a set of 20 in 2017 after hurricane Irma. This week was the first time I had to use them in preparation for hurricane Milton. I didn’t read the instructions carefully so I didn’t have enough to secure each plywood with 8+ brackets each, BUT these exceeded all expectations and with just 2-4 per plywood, they worked! A hurricane category 3 beat my house for 9 hours straight. All the plywoods stayed in place! It was super easy to install (I’m a single woman and did it by myself in 1 hour, 6 windows), and uninstall: while my neighbors were getting their drills ready to take down their own plywoods, I was finishing taking down mine alone. Took 20 mins to remove all 6. I’ll be buying more today!

Works very well! If you live in Florida or places that are pron to hurricanes, it's a must have!

Use these on our windows for hurricane Dorian. We never received the heavy winds but these clips were easy to use on our smooth stucco windows. They did mark up the paint but that was to be expected. Work best if you secure them with small screws to keep them from slipping off when sliding into the window.

Bought these to be able to put plywood boards in my windows on the brick sides of my house. They grip well and hold the wood in place. Survived a cat 3 hurricane with no damage to windows (just dinged up wood). Make sure you measure the thickness of your wood before ordering the appropriate size plylox. Each one has a hole in the metal so you can permanently attach the metal to the wood if you want. I just put them on without permanently attaching them. A hammer or rubber mallet is good for pounding them into place. When pulling the boards off you may need a claw hammer or something like it to pry the boards loose from the window. After use they may need to be bent back into shape, but they are reusable. Used mine 3 times now. Well worth the cost compared to a new window.

Great clips. Easy to install. Makes putting up and taking down hurricane boards a breeze. Would highly recommend it.

I have used these before in the past and just ordered another pack to make sure I have plenty on hand for this summer. These are great and make putting up plywood shutters quick and easy. they are bit challenging to remove, but once you figure it out you'll be able to pop them out with a screw driver very quickly. Do understand that these may cause some minor damage to your paint or stucco when removing, but nothing that can't be easily fixed, and it's nothing that would prevent me from recommending these. I wish I could use these on 2nd story windows as well but they won't work due to frame construction up top. I have 9 windows on the lower floor of our house, and with these I can cover them all in less than an hour. I did find that it's helpful to use a single screw to secure them to the plywood while installing, especially with the larger windows. Do yourself a favor, buy a bunch of these, I recommend 6-8 per window, go ahead and precut your plywood so that when a storm is coming you are ready and don't have to be cutting while rushed/stressed.

Have used these for 20 years for hurricane shutters. I'm glad they finally drilled a hole in the back so you can screw the piece on and just leave it there. In the past I was having to drill a hole through what is pretty tough, although thin steel
