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 side glass panel into channels in pan and side thresholds. Adjust the side glass
panel so its is level with door and has an even 1/4” gap between the door and the side glass
panel. Use rubber setting block to adjust height and level if necessary. After dry-fitting the side
panel into the correct alignment, remove the glass, and place a 1/4” silicone bead into the
channels. Re-insert the side glass panel and check alignment again. 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 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 door. 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.
