1. Measure the base opening along center of shower curb as shown
in figure 1, then trim Sill (A) to 1/16” less than measurement obtained.
2. With high lip toward exterior of enclosure, position Sill at center of
shower curb. Temporarily tape Sill to shower curb to prevent move-
ment.
Note: For Door Only Installations; Trim Wall Jambs (B) to the same
height as the Strike Post (C) before proceeding; otherwise leave Wall
Jambs as they are (no trimming) and continue the installation
3. Place Wall Jambs (B) on to ends of Sill (A) and up against shower walls as shown in figure 2. Plumb the
Jambs, then pencil mark their installation holes locations on the shower walls (3 per jamb). Remove Wall
Jambs. Use a 3/16” drill bit (designed to drill through material you are working with) to drill 1-1/4” deep
installation holes in locations previously marked. Insert Plastic Screw Anchors (I) into holes.
4. Reposition Wall Jambs (B) as before and secure Jambs to walls using the six(6) 1-1/2” Installation
Screws (H) provided (3 per jamb).
5. Decide from which side your Door Assembly (D) is to hinge (left or right , your choice). Install Glazing
Vinyl (d7) onto hinge side of glass as shown in the exploded view. Begin glazing at top of glass edge and
work down.
6. Before install Hinge Stile (d2), wet the Glazing Vinyl (d7) with some diluted liquid soap (do not, wet the
inside of vinyl, as it will slip off the glass). Insert the Hinge Stile (d2) over the Glazing Vinyl and tap into
place (with a rubber mallet) until the Post is firmly seated (top of Hinge Post must be flush with top of glass).
7. Insert the Hinge Post (d1) into the Hinge Stile (d2) as shown in figure 3. Take a minute to check the door
rotation (is it the correct rotation for your configuration)? If it is not, then make it so. When satisfied,
proceed.
8. Insert Hinge Washer (d4) and Hinge Bushing (d5) into Hinge Stile (d2) as shown in figure 3. Rotate
Hinge Post (d1) out of the way and secure the bushing with one(1) Door Assembly Screw (d6) as shown in
figure. Repeat step for opposite end.
9. Pick Door Assembly up and insert its Hinge Jamb (d1) into the Wall Jamb from which it is to swing. On
strike edge of glass, center and install Door Pull Vinyl (d8) as shown in exploded view. Insert Door Pull (d9)
over Vinyl (d8) and tap into place (with a rubber mallet) until Door Pull is firmly seated.
10. Insert Strike Post (C) into appropriate Wall Jamb. Measure from bottom of Strike Post (where it sits on
Sill) to the bottom of the Door Pull (d9). Trim bottom Seal Vinyl (F) to a 1/4” more than measurement
obtained. Insert trimmed Seal Vinyl into Strike Post as indicated in exploded view. Next insert Magnet Strip
(G) into Strike Post. Finally insert remaining Vinyl Seal (F) and trim top excess as required. Snip Seal Vinyl
as shown on sheet - 1, Detail ‘1 - A’.
11. Adjust Door Assembly and Strike Post along curb as required. Note: Bottom of Door Assembly must
always remain parallel to Sill in order for door to operate properly. When satisfied with door operation,
secure Hinge Post and Strike Post to the Wall Jambs using 638PHPT Adjustment Screws (J), see ex-
ploded view - sheet 1.
12. If Jamb Caps (K) were purchased, install the Jamb Caps (K) at both the hinge side and the strike side
of the door as shown in exploded view - sheet 1. Trim the End Caps to required lengths before installing.
Next, Install the Rail End Cap (L) on to end of Door Rail (d3) as shown in exploded view - sheet 1.
13. With drip wing positioned toward inside of shower enclosure, Insert Drip Rail (E) onto the bottom edge
of the Door Assembly (D) as shown in exploded view - sheet 1 and figure 4. Now snug the Drip Rail up to
the vertical Vinyl; mark the edge of the door glass on the rail and cut off the excess as shown in figure 5.
From inside the shower enclosure, close the shower door and mark where drip wing needs to be notched
for proper closure against door strike (see figure 6). Notch the drip rail as required and reposition the Drip
Rail on the door and check for fit.
Once you are satisfied with the Drip Rail fit, remove the Drip Rail and run a a bead of clear mildew resistant
silicone down the full length the Drip Rail cavity (this will insure a secure Drip Rail installation when you
reposition it on the glass). Reposition the Drip Rail on the glass and press firmly into place.
14. Run a bead of clear mildew resistant caulking down the full length of each Wall Jamb outside where
the Jambs meet the Walls. Now run a bead outside where the Sill meets the curb. Follow caulking
manufacturer’s instructions before using shower (normally 24 hours). Installation is now complete.
