Tools and Materials
Before You Begin
CAUTION: Risk of injury or product damage. Two people should perform this installation due to
the weight of the door panels.
CAUTION: Risk of injury or product damage. Unframed tempered glass should not contact hard
surfaces or it may shatter. Do not touch the edge of the tempered glass panel with tools or any hard
objects. Do not set unframed tempered glass directly on the floor or any other hard surface without
the protective vinyl surface attached.
CAUTION: Risk of injury or product damage. Do not cut tempered glass. It will shatter.
IMPORTANT! This door is designed to accommodate walls that are less than 3/8″(1 cm) out of plumb.
Verify the area the door will be attached to is within 3/8″(1 cm) or better of plumb. The door may not
function properly if the wall is more than 3/8″(1 cm) out of plumb.
IMPORTANT! Do not remove the protective strip from the bottom of the door panels until after they are
installed.
The shower bath or receptor should be installed/prepared, including finished wall materials, before
continuing.
Before starting the installation, lay out and identify all of the parts. Inspect them for damage.
Once inspected, return the glass panels to their packaging and place them in a safe area until they
are needed.

IMPORTANT!
Most Common Installation Mistake
Do not cut the top and bottom track the same
length for this installation.
Please read these installation instructions
carefully before cutting the top and bottom
track.
If uncertain about cutting tracks, please contact
a customer service representative using
the phone number on the last page
of this document.

1. Measure and Cut the Bottom Track
WARNING: Risk of personal injury. Always wear safety glasses when cutting materials.
NOTICE: 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-teeth 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 center 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 5/16″
drill bit. Use a masonry bit for ceramic tile.
Press and hold the leg of the anchor (provided) together and insert the anchor legs into the
pre-drilled mounting hole.
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 in the center hole.
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 5/16″drill bit. Use a masonry bit for ceramic tile.

pre-drilled mounting holes.
Repeat for all the anchors.
Insert a #8-18 x 1-1/2″panhead screw through each of the four bumpers.
Align the holes in the wall jamb with the holes in the wall and secure the wall jamb to the wall
with #8-18 x 1-1/2″panhead screws. Bumpers should be located in the top and bottom holes. 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.
Subtract 1/32″(1 mm) from dimension ″D″and cut the top track to this dimension.
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 Door Panels
CAUTION: Risk of injury. The door panels are very heavy. Two people should lift them into place.
NOTE: Perform these installation steps from outside the bath/shower.
IMPORTANT! Risk of product damage and personal injury. It is critical the bumpers prevent direct
contact between the door panel and the metal frame. If the door panel makes direct contact it will result in
breakage of the glass and bodily harm.
NOTICE: 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.
Install the Inside Panel
Run a rag along the each of the inside rails of the top track to remove debris.
Lift the inside door panel with the rollers facing away from you.
Position the rollers on the inside rail of the top track.
Move the inside panel to the same side the showerhead is located.
Install the Outside Panel
Lift the outside door panel with the rollers facing you and position the rollers on the outside rail.
Position the rollers on the outside rail of the top track.
Move the outside panel to the side opposite the showerhead.
Confirm Proper Operation
Roll each door panel back and forth along the track to make sure they operate smoothly.

Install the Door Panels (cont.)
If both door panels operate smoothly, perform the ″Confirm Panel Alignment″instructions later in
this section.
If one of the door panels does not operate smoothly, remove it and make sure there is no debris or
rough areas on the rails inside the top track.
If no debris or rough areas are found, adjustment is required.
If adjustment is required, determine if the door panel should be raised or lowered.
Remove the door panel from the top track.
Adjust the rollers by loosening the roller screw and moving the roller in the to a different hole.
To adjust the door panel higher, move the rollers lower.
To adjust the door panel lower, move the rollers higher.
Reinstall the door panel.
Repeat if necessary.
Confirm Panel Alignment
NOTE: The edge of each door panel must touch the bumpers before coming in contact with the wall
jambs. If the door panels do not touch the bumpers first, the wall is not plumb and the door panel needs
to be adjusted.
Check to be certain that the door panel is plumb with the wall and the door panels come in contact
with the bumpers, not the wall jamb.
If adjustment is required, determine whether the top or bottom of the door panel is closer to the
wall.
Remove the door panel from the top track and adjust the roller on the side of the door panel closest
to the wall.
Adjust the rollers by loosening the roller screw and moving the roller to a different hole.
If the bottom of the door panel on the side being adjusted is farther away from the wall than the
top of the panel, raise the roller.
If the top of the panel is farther away from the wall than the bottom of the panel, lower the roller.
Reinstall the door panel.
Repeat if necessary.

6. Install the Center Guide
Using a pencil, make a small mark on the threshold at the center of the bottom track on the inside
of the shower.
Position the center guide on the bottom track with the front lip of the center guide in the groove of
the bottom track.
Position both door panels so they are aligned in the slots in the center guide.
Holding the center guide tightly against the bottom track, make sure the door panels can roll from
wall-to-wall without binding.
If the doors bind, refer to the panel installation sections and make the needed adjustments.
IMPORTANT! Risk of product damage. Do not overtighten the screws. The center guide may crack.
While holding the center guide tightly against the bottom track, drive in the provided self-tapping
screw with a screwdriver. Repeat with the second screw.

7. Install the Towel Bar
NOTE: Installation of the towel bar is easiest with two people.
Slide a washer onto one of the screws with the flat side of the washer facing the head of the screw.
Insert the screw through the mounting hole in the glass.
Slide a second washer onto the screw with the flat side facing away from the glass.
While one person holds the other end of the towel bar, position a support over the screw.
IMPORTANT! Do not overtighten the screws. The glass may break.
Fully tighten both screws by inserting a 5/64″hex wrench into the hole in the screw head. Do not
overtighten.
Repeat for the second support.
Make sure the collars on the washers fit into the holes in the glass.
1/4" x 20 Screw
Insert a 5/64" hex wrench into hole in
screw head and turn clockwise to
secure tower bar.

8. Caulk the Bottom Track and Wall Jambs
NOTE: Thoroughly clean all dust, dirt, or grease from the bottom track and shower ledge surfaces where
sealant will be applied. Make sure the surfaces are dry.
NOTE: Your shower door may not appear exactly as shown. The application of sealant or caulk is the
same.
Carefully apply caulk or sealant where:
the wall jambs and wall meet inside the shower.
the bottom track and wall jamb meet.
the outside area of the bottom track meets the bath/shower threshold on the outside of the door.

IMPORTANT!
L'erreur la plus commune d'installation
Ne pas couper le rail supérieur et inférieur à la
même longueur pour cette installation.
Veuillez s'il vous plaît lire avec attention ces
instructions d'installation avant de couper le rail
supérieur et inférieur.
Si la manière de découper les rails n'est pas
très claire, contacter un représentant du
service à la clientèle en appelant le numéro
fourni sur la page arrière de ce document.
Kohler Co. Français-4 1054859-2-B

1. Mesurer et couper le rail inférieur
AVERTISSEMENT: Risque de blessures corporelles. Porter des lunettes de protection lors de la
découpe des matériaux.
AVIS: Risque d’endommagement du produit. Ne pas couper le rail supérieur à ce moment. La dimension
du rail supérieur n’est pas la même que le rail inférieur.
IMPORTANT! Si la douche à des coins arrondis au niveau des murs latéraux, mesurer d’un mur à l’autre
au-dessus des coins, sinon, le rail inférieur risquerait d’être trop court.
Mesurer d’un mur à l’autre à la partie la plus plate du rebord de la douche (dimension ″D″).
Marquer la dimension ″D″sur le rail inférieur.
IMPORTANT! Pour de meilleurs résultats, utiliser une scie à métaux à 32 dents et une boîte à onglets
pour couper le rail inférieur.
A l’extrémité opposée à la marque, aligner l’extrémité de l’insertion à égalité avec l’extrémité du rail
inférieur.
Soustraire 1-1/8″(2,9 cm) à la dimension ″D″et couper simultanément le rail inférieur et l’insertion
à cette dimension.
Limer les rebords rugueux à l’endroit de découpe du rail inférieur en évitant d’endommager la
surface finie.
REMARQUE: S’il y a des courbes à la rencontre des parois latérales et du seuil, utiliser une lime pour
former les rebords de rail inférieur en conséquence.
