3 NOTE: Wall jambs for this unit are different
lengths. Be sure to use the longer wall jamb on the
designated hinge side.
Place the longer wall jamb [D] against the hinge side
wall with the bottom end 3/16” for the start of the raised
lip on the curb (see illustration). Plumb the wall jamb
with a level and mark the three hole locations on the wall.
Repeat using the shorter wall jamb on the strike side wall.
Set the wall jambs to the side and drill the holes
for the mounting hardware.
Tile or marble walls:
Drill 3/16” diameter holes into the walls and insert
the plastic wall anchors [E].
Fiberglass or acrylic units can be done two different ways:
If the walls are not reinforced, drill 3/16” diameter
holes and insert the the plastic wall anchors. (Toggle
bolts may be used instead but they are not provided).
If the walls are reinforced, only drill 1/8” diameter holes.
Attach the correct wall jamb to each wall using the #8 x 1 1/2”
truss head screw [F].
4 Measure the finished wall-to-wall opening at
the top and botom of the wall jambs. Note the smaller
dimension. (see bottom left illustration)
Measure the width of the door panel [B] from the
outside edge of the door rail to the edge of the glass
on the strike side (see top illustration).
Add 2 1/4” to the door panel width. Then subtract
that total from the smallest wall-to-wall opening
dimension. Then divide that number by two.
This should be the distance from the wall to the
closest part of the strike jamb at the narrowest point
of the opening (see bottom right illustration).
Plumb the strike jamb with a level and mark its’
location on the wall jamb with a pencil.
