D - Install Fixed Glass Panel & Glass Door

1. With someone helping to hold the shower door, place the top hinge mounting bracket

(diagram 19) 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. After dry-ﬁtting the ﬁxed panel into the correct alignment, remove the

glass, and place a 1/4” 100% RTV silicone bead into the channels. Re-insert the ﬁxed 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. The door sweep has been cut to ﬁt over the hindge. Cut off the excess length oposite

of hinge side.

If you would like to use these side seals, follow the steps below.

2. The L shaped seal goes along the hinge side of the door on the threshold trim pieces. (diagram 21)

3. Place the seal along the edge of the glass and cut the seal to the proper length.

4. Remove the backer from the seal exposing the 2 sided tape, only remove a small amount at a time.

5. Starting from the top, align the seal along the edge of the door and stick the seal to the threshold.

6. Work your way down the door. Do small sections at a time, slowly peeling the backer off the seal.

7. Locate the plastic h shaped seal . It goes on the ﬁxed glass, next to the handle edge.

(diagram 22) Measure and cut the seal to length.

8. Starting from the top, push the seal onto the glass panel, slowly working your way down.
