I don't think the McCanns gave the shutters a thought, why would they? On the subject of leaving her three small children home alone Mrs McCann said;
"If I'd had to think for one second about it, it wouldn't have happened. I never even had to think like that, to make the decision. It felt so safe that I didn't even have to - I mean, I don't think we took a risk.

is safe.
According to Fiona Payne, of course, she didn't find the decision to leave the patio doors unlocked quite so easy to make, but that's never been publicly discussed.
