Since the mid-1990s, Florida Shutter Factory has focused virtually every detail of the Eyewall Armor®’s designs to not only surpass all local, national and international testing standards but to survive the harsh, salty South Florida environments far beyond the next closest competitor. Locking devices are typically stainless steel, brass, or aluminum and all possible areas where the stainless steel is in contact with aluminum have been treated with the very best coatings and isolators available today. The end results are systems that can be easily serviced and lubricated (even by homeowners) were needed or designed in such a way that no service is necessary, resulting in superior systems with a significantly increased service life.
