B - Hinge Installation (already installed on door)

1. Locate the top hinge and remove the side plate by loosening the two screws. (diagram 19)

2. Place the hinge into the top cutout on the door so the screws will be facing into the shower

and install the side plate. Tighten the screws until the hinge is secure. Make sure the hinge is

centered in the cutout and that the screws are facing into the shower.

3. Repeat these steps for the bottom hinge.

C - Dry-ﬁt Fixed Glass Panel & Glass Door

1. Gently insert the side glass panel into the channels. You will be adjusting the fixed glass panel so

it is level with door and has an even 1/4” gap between the door and the fixed glass panel. Use

rubber setting block to adjust height and level if necessary.

2. Next, to determine the position of the bottom hinge pin hole, place the top hinge pin bracket

upside down on bottom pan threshold as a template.

(diagram 20, next page) Align bracket hole

to center of side glass panel. Mark the hole and remove the bracket. Carefully drill 1/4” hole for

hinge pin approximately 1 1/2" deep into the pan threshold.

3. Pick up the door you have installed the hinges and handle onto, and gently place the bottom

hinge pin into the 1/4” hole you have drilled into the pan threshold (making sure you have the

teflon slide washer on the pin).

A - Handle Installation

1. Set the glass door in a position to enable the assembly of the handle . (diagram 17)

2. Loosen the set screws so you can separate the handles.

3. Unscrew the long bolt from the handle. Keep all rubber pieces attached to the screw.

4. Remove the ﬁrst set of ﬂat, clear washers from the bolt.

5. Start with the top hole on the glass door. Place the long bolt through the hole in the door

(keeping the remaining rubber pieces on the bolt). On the other side of the glass place the ﬂat

washers onto the threaded portion of the bolt. (diagram 18)

6. Take one side of the handle and screw the long bolt into the end. Just start the bolt until a few

threads catch. Keep loose.

7. Put the second bolt through the lower hole. Place the ﬂat washer onto the bolt. Screw the bolt

into the bottom handle.

8. Align the handle on the door and carefully tighten the long bolts. Do not over tighten.

9. Place the opposite handle over the long bolts and tighten the set screws to secure the handle.

Be careful not to rest the edges of the door on hard surfaces.

Tempered glass is very strong and impact resistant but its

weakest point is impact on the edges.
