C - Door Installation
1. Now that the handle and hinges are installed on the glass door, gently place the bottom hinge
pin into the 1/4” hole in the Pan Threshold (making sure you have the teflon slide washer on
the pin).
2. With someone helping to hold the shower door, place the top hinge mounting bracket
(diagram 2) over the top hinge pin (making sure you have the teflon slide washer on the pin).
Check to make sure door is vertically level, then mark with a pencil through the 3 holes on top
hinge mounting bracket. Move door and top hinge mount to one side and pre-drill the holes into
the studs. The drilled holes should be large enough so the screws don’t bind in the stone.
Insert and tighten screws.
3. Gently insert the 2 side glass panels into channels in pan and side thresholds. Adjust the side
glass panels so they are level with door and have an even 1/4” gap between the door and
the side glass panels. Adjust height and level if necessary. After dry-fitting the side panels into
the correct alignment, remove the glass, and place a 1/4” silicone bead into the channels.
Re-insert the side glass panel. Install the glass support bracket to the top of the 2 side panels.
(diagram 5) Check alignment again. Wipe off excess silicone. Let dry.
We have provided door seals for water sensitive areas such as wood floors. If glass panels and door
are installed correctly with the proper spacing, outside water spillage will be minimal and the side seals
won’t be necessary. The door sweep is what keeps the door closed. Adjust the door seal higher or
lower on the glass to hold the door in a closed position until the required tension is achieved.
If you would like to use these side seals, follow the steps below.
4. The L shaped seal goes along the hinge side of the door on the threshold trim pieces.
(diagram 3)
5. Place the seal along the edge of the glass and cut the seal to the proper length.
6. Remove the backer from the seal exposing the 2 sided tape, only remove a small amount at a
time.
7. Starting from the top, align the seal along the edge of the door and stick the seal to the
threshold.
8. Work your way down the thresholds. Do small sections at a time, slowly peeling the backer off
the seal.
9. Locate the plastic H shaped seal. It goes on the door strike side, opposite the hinge.
(diagram 4) Measure and cut the seal to length.
10. Starting from the top, push the seal onto the door, slowly working your way down the door.
