1. A storm shutter attachment system comprising:

  • a first pin adapted to function as an anchor pin, the first pin having an elongated shaft and a head portion, the elongated shaft configured to reside within a pre-drilled hole within a building wall or a window jamb and the head portion configured to protrude from the pre-drilled hole, wherein a center longitudinal axis of the pre-drilled hole is parallel with respect to a surface of a window;

    an aperture disposed within the head portion of the first pin, the aperture having an inner surface and a center axis, wherein the center axis is perpendicular to the elongated shaft of the first pin;

    a second in coupled to the first pin, the second pin disposed within the aperture of the first pin, such that the second pin axially translates within the aperture along the center axis thereof, the second pin adapted to function as a retention pin, whereby the second pin is configured to exert a force onto a storm shutter in a direction perpendicular to the storm shutter;

    a first ridge disposed on the inner surface of the aperture of the first pin; and

    a second ridge disposed on the outer surface of the second pin, the second ridge engaging the first ridge, thereby immobilizing the second pin against axial movement along the center axis of the aperture, thus securing the storm shutter over the window.
