Slide the jamb wiper vinyl [B] into the pivot
jamb [C]. A small amount of soap or graphite
lubrication will help installation. Cut the jamb
wiper vinyl 7/8" shorter than the pivot jamb to
allow room for the pivot brackets [D]. Fit one of
the pivot brackets into the bottom of the pivot
jamb. Lock it in place with a #6 x 3/8" truss head
screw [E] and a #8-32 x 1/8" set screw [F] (a 5/64"
Allen wrench [G] is provided).

Thread the two #10-24 x 7/16" square head
set screws [K] into the tapped holes in the pivot
blocks in the top and bottom rails of the glazed
door panel [L].
Measure the distance from wall to wall directly
above the curb (Dim. “A”). Deduct 3 13/16" from
this amount and position the pivot pins this exact
distance (Dim. “B”) from the edge of the door.
Tighten the set screws just enough to prevent the
pivot blocks from moving (finger tight plus a
quarter turn). A 3/16" wrench (not supplied by
A
LUMAX
) will fit the set screw heads.
Place the pivot jamb [C] 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 7/32" diameter
holes and insert the plastic wall anchors [H]. A
center punch helps locate the holes accurately.
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 7/
32" 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 [J].
