FIX BROKEN PLANTATION SHUTTER HOW-TO:
1) Order replacement louver pins for your plantation shutters.
2) Try to pick out bits of broken wooden down with a utility knife.
3) If that doesn't work, use a drill and a 1/8" drill bit to bore out the pieces of dowel still lodged in the plantation shutter (both the "stile" upright piece, and the shutter slat).
4) When the dowel is bored out of the plantation shutter stile and louver slat, insert the replacement spring-loaded shutter pin into the stile.
5) Depress the shutter pin with a 5-in-1 painters tool, or a flat knife.
6) Raise the louvered slat until the spring-loaded pin pops into the hole.
7) Move adjuster rod up and down to make sure slat is set in plantation shutters.
8) If the adjuster rod is failing to move certain slats, tip the adjuster rod to the side and replace staples in planation shutter.
