Eliminating a header and a footer as well as side mounts around a shutter system as original construction or retrofit by providing a frame structure which preselectively frames the enclosure and at its inner portion contains a frame mounting plate and a centerless thread former at one edge of the mounting plate oriented to be in close proximity to the opening in the enclosure is disclosed. Yet another feature of the present invention relates to the mounting of a composite panel or, indeed, shutter panels by which an insert receives a mounting bolt. The insert has an oblong hole passing through it with a header at one end.
