Cut the clear pivot jamb seal vinyl [C] 3/4" shorter
than the pivot jamb [D]. Slide the jamb seal vinyl into the
slot in the pivot jamb. Lubricating the vinyl with a small
amount of soap or graphite will help installation. Slide
one of the pivot brackets [E] into the bottom of the pivot
jamb. Lock it in place with a #6 x 3/8" truss head screw
[F] and a #8-32 x 1/8" set screw [G] (a 5/64" allen wrench
[H] is provided).
Place the pivot jamb assembly on the curb [A] with
the exterior face lined up with the raised edge of the curb.
Use a level to plumb the jamb, then mark the mounting
hole locations. Remove the jamb and drill the mounting
holes.
For tile or marble walls, drill three 3/16" diameter holes
and insert the plastic wall anchors [J]. Attachments to
fiberglass or acrylic units can be made in two ways. If a
reinforcement is built into the wall of the unit, drill three
1/8" diameter holes to install mounting screws directly
into the reinforcement. If walls are not reinforced, drill
3/16" holes and install plastic wall anchors or Molly bolts
(Molly bolts not supplied by A
LUMAX
).
Replace the pivot jamb and attach to the wall with three
#8 x 2" truss head screws [K].

NOTE: Obscure glass doors should be installed
with the rough surface of the glass to the exterior of the
unit. Deco or etched glass doors should be installed with
the patterned surface to the inside.
Glazed doors [L] with obscure or Deco glass will have
short rails installed with full width vinyl on both ends.
Determine which end will be the bottom. Using a mallet
or a hammer and wood block (never a hammer alone),
carefully drive the bottom rail [M] over the bottom edge
of the glass and vinyl, snug to the factory installed rail.
Both rails should be set back 1/8" from the pivot edge of
the door and the bottom rail should end 1/8" from the
strike edge. Trim the excess vinyl even with the ends of
the rails.
