STEP 1. Determine the Plumb Condition of the opening: Use a level to determined that the enclosure is plumb on both sides. If any side is out of plumb more that 3/8” it will make the adjustment of the Glass Doors complicated. STEP 1B. Determine the Level and centerline of the Curb. (Work from high side ﬁrst.) Determine the level of the curb and mark the “high” side (A maximum of 3/8” out of level is acceptable.) Draw a pencil line side to side on the center line of the Curb.
