The only concern is that the pins, attaching the shutters to the pivot points, are plastic. It works perfectly, but we hope that the plastic endures.This junk shutter came with my Home Depot whole house fan. It was a short-lived product. The louvers flutter constantly while the fan is on, even though the louvers are connected with arms to make them open and close together. The louvers rattle and make considerable noise at times and eventually the cheap plastic pins the louvers rotate on start breaking. You have to be careful that the louvers don't get sucked up into the fan as the pins break off.
I actually replaced all the plastic pins with brass pins, which I thought would make the thing work forever. It did last a couple more seasons, but the louvers continue to rattle and vibrate, and eventually even the brass pins gave up.
After messing with it for four or five seasons, I am junking the thing and will replace it with a system of my own design unless I can find something better on the market, which I have not so far.

I had to replace the original shutter 3 or 4 years. This matched the fit as expected. I'm hoping it lasts longer than the original.Read Best Reviews of Whole House Fan Shutter - 30" - Interior Use - White Here
So the attic fan ate the last fan shutter prompting me to explore my DIY skills. After measuring and matching the measurements to this beauty, I decided to go for it. It was really pretty easy to install (although more difficult if you try to do it on your own), and has held up ever since. Well worth the purchase.Want Whole House Fan Shutter - 30" - Interior Use - White Discount?
