Inside the shower enclosure, drill two 1/8" holes
thru the hinge jamb [H] and into the wall jamb [C] 3/8"
to 3/4" from the wall and approximately 1" vertically from
each end of the hinge jamb. Drill a third hole centered
between the first two, then enlarge the three outer holes
with a 3/16" drill for clearance on the self-tapping screws.
Attach the hinge jamb permanently with three #6 x 3/8"
pan head screws [F].
Measure the wall-to-wall opening at the top and at the
bottom of the wall jambs [C] and note the smaller dimension.
Measure the entire width of the door panel [B] from the
outside edge of the hinge jamb [H] to the edge of the glass
on the strike side. Add 2 1/4" to that width, subtract that
dimension from the minimum wall-to-wall opening
dimension and divide the result by 2. This should give you
the dimension from the wall to the hinge jamb [H] at the
closest point. Slide the hinge jamb [H] with the door
panel attached over one of the mounted wall jambs [C]
so the door will open outward. Plumb the hinge jamb
vertically and mark its location on the wall jamb with a
pencil.
Cut one wall jamb [C] to the same length as the
strike jamb [G]. Place the wall jamb [C] just cut against
the strike side wall with the bottom end 3/16" from the
raised side of the curb [A]. Plumb the jamb and mark the
hole locations on the wall. Repeat for the other wall jamb.
Remove all parts and drill the walls for mounting hardware.
For tile or marble walls, drill six 3/16" diameter holes and
insert the plastic wall anchors [D]. Attachments to
fiberglass or acrylic units can be made in two ways. If a
reinforcement is built into the wall of unit, drill six 1/8"
holes and install mounting screws directly into the
reinforcement. If walls are not reinforced, drill 3/16"
holes and install plastic wall anchors or toggle bolts
(toggle bolts not supplied by (Alumax). Replace each
wall jamb and attach them to the wall with three #8 x 1
1/2" truss head screws [E].
