Very Important Instructions
IMPORTANT!

1. Measure and Cut the Bottom Track
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury. Always wear safety glasses when cutting materials.
IMPORTANT! Risk of product damage.Do not cut the top track at this time. The top track dimension is
not the same as the bottom track.
IMPORTANT! If your shower has a curve in the corners where they meet the sidewalls, be sure to
measure from wall to wall above the curves. Failure to measure above the curve or angle could result in
the bottom track being cut too short.
Measure from wall to wall at the flattest part of the shower ledge (dimension ″D″).
Mark dimension ″D″on the bottom track.
IMPORTANT! For best results, use a 32-tooth hacksaw blade and a miter box to cut the bottom track.
On the end opposite the mark, align the end of the insert flush with the end of the bottom track.
Subtract 1-1/8″(2.9 cm) from dimension ″D″and simultaneously cut the bottom track and insert to
this dimension.
File the rough edges smooth where the bottom track was cut, taking care not to mar the finished
surface.
NOTE: If there are curves where the sidewalls meet the threshold, use a file to contour the bottom track
edges to match the curves as necessary.

Measure carefully. If your walls are curved or
angled, measure above the curve or angle. Failure
to do so can result in an improperly cut bottom
track and can void the warranty.

2. Install the Bottom Track
Apply a 1/4″(6 mm) bead of silicone sealant into the groove on the underside of the track.
Install the bottom track 5/8″back from the front of the bath/shower ledge with the sealant side
down, the front leg facing the outside of the shower, and an equal gap on each end between the
wall and track.
Temporarily secure the bottom track to the threshold with masking tape.

3. Install the Wall Jambs
IMPORTANT! The wall jamb must sit flat against the wall with the legs of the jamb fully engaged with
the bottom track. The wider edge is located toward the outside of the shower.
NOTE: If the bottom corner of the ledge is rounded, the contoured ends of the jambs face down. If the
corner is square, the square ends of the jambs face down.
Determine which end of the wall jambs face down. The ends will fit into the lower corner of the
ledge where the bath/shower threshold and bath/shower wall meet.
Position the wall jamb against the wall on the bottom track.
Mark the location of the bottom mounting screw.
NOTE: On ceramic tile, use a center punch to nick the surface glaze at the mark. Tap the punch lightly
with your hammer so you do not crack the tile.
Remove the wall jamb, lightly center punch the hole location, and drill the screw hole using a 3/16″
drill bit. Use a masonry bit for ceramic tile.
Insert an anchor in the drilled hole.
Loosely secure the wall jamb to the wall with a #8-18 x 1-1/2″panhead screw.
Use a level to plumb the wall jamb.
Mark the remaining two hole locations.
Slide the wall jamb aside and lightly center punch the hole locations.
Drill each hole with a 3/16″drill bit. Use a masonry bit for ceramic tile.
Insert an anchor in the drilled hole.

Install the Wall Jambs (cont.)
Align the holes in the wall jamb with the holes in the wall and secure the wall jamb to the wall
with two #8–18 x 1–1/2″panhead screws. Insert a screw through a bumper at the center screw hole
location and tighten. Do not overtighten. The bumper may lose its shape.
Repeat the steps to locate the second wall jamb on the opposite wall, making sure the wall jambs
are located directly opposite of each other.

4. Measure, Cut, and Install the Top Track
Carefully measure the wall to wall opening (dimension ″D″) at the top of the installed wall jambs.
NOTE: For best results, use a 32 teeth per inch hacksaw blade and a miter box.
Cut the top track 1/32” (1 mm) less than the dimension ″D.″
Taking care not to scratch the finished surfaces, carefully file the rough edges at the cut end of the
top track.
Install the top track over the ends of both wall jambs.

5. Install the Inside Door Panel
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. For the protection of your bath unit, use a drop cloth or similar
material as a protective cover during these steps.
CAUTION: Risk of injury. The door panels are very heavy. Two people should lift them into place.
From outside of the shower, install the inside panel first. Position the panel with the rollers toward
the inside of the shower.
Carefully lift the inside panel up inside the top track and hang the rollers on the inside rail.
Roll the panel back and forth along the track to make sure it operates smoothly. Align the panel
with the showerhead side wall jamb.
If the panel does not operate smoothly, adjustment may be needed. If adjustment is needed, remove
the panel.
NOTE: Moving the rollers to the top hole of the hanger brackets will cause the glass to hang lower.
Moving the rollers to the bottom hole of the hanging brackets will cause the glass to hang higher.
Loosen the roller screw(s) and move the roller to another hole in the hanging bracket. Insert and
tighten the screw(s) and rehang the panel.
6. Install the Outside Panel
CAUTION: Risk of injury. The door panels are very heavy. Two people should lift them into place.
From outside of the shower, install the outside panel. Position the panel with the rollers facing the
outside of the shower/bath.
Carefully lift the door panel up inside of the top track and hang the rollers on the outside rail.
