? - Using plywood and barrel bolts for shutters?

Is it necessary to use "heavy duty" barrel bolts for my plywood hurricane shutters? The "heavy duties" cost about $5.00 apiece at HD for 4 inch Stanleys. The standard duty Stanley 4 inchers are $0.99 apiece at Big Lots - quite a difference. Is anyone using standard duties for their plywood shutters? If I go with the heavy duties, the cost of the barrel bolts will probably be double the cost of the wood itself. Any opinions greatly appreciated. Joe Stewart in South Louisiana
