Window or door screens featuring horizontal slats that may be articulated, allowing control over air and light transmission. They are usually made of wood. While they may be hinged, modern exterior shutters are often decorative and remain fixed to the wall alongside the window or door opening. |

|
Plier-like nail and wire cutters, whose cutting edges are on the side of the head, parallel to the handles. |
| Side hook approach
|
|
The distance that remains between a wall and a hook where it can come closest to touching the wall. Since a bridge crane hook is attached by a cable around a drum, at the center of the trolley, and moves back and forth with the trolley along the bridge, the hook does not reach the wall when the trolley reaches it. Therefore, there is always space that the hook cannot cover from this approach. |
| Side jamb

|
Side parts found on a door or window frame. |
| Side lap
|
|
The longitudinal overlap of neighboring materials. |
| Side rake
|
|
