Tempered Glass Warning
YOUR SHOWER DOOR GLASS COULD SHATTER WITHOUT WARNING IF IMPROPERLY INSTALLED OR MISHANDLED.
Do Not install or operate a shower door if the glass has chipped corners, slivered edges or is otherwise damaged and/or has been
dropped or banged into a hard surface such as tile, marble or glass.
The main causes of tempered glass breakage are:
 Improper handling, storage, unpacking or installation
• Corners and edges are the most susceptible area to damage on a lite of tempered glass and should be protected and
handled with care during storage, unpacking, installation and operation. A concentrated point of pressure or impact with
a surface harder than itself may cause the tempered glass to shatter. The tempered glass may release immediately, within
several hours or even days later.
 Misuse/abuse
• Aggressively opening or closing the door may cause trauma to the glass, which can lead to breakage. This may occur
immediately or hours or even days later.
• Additional considerations should be given to the installation of frameless tempered glass products in households with young
children or an elderly person due to an increased chance of improper handling. In such cases, alternatives such as shower
curtains or grab bars should be considered.
 Lack of maintenance/failure to replace damaged glass
• The shower door hardware and glass should be inspected periodically: Instruct the homeowner how to perform a periodic
inspection of the shower hardware and glass - some minor adjustments may be necessary based upon the use (or misuse)
of the shower door. Ensure that the hardware remains tight and that the door alignment and operation are correct. Any
adjustments should be made upon discovery to prevent damage to the product.
 Incorrect installation of door hardware, rollers, hinges, channels, stopper or glass:
• Improper installation may include: loose hardware and/or lack of proper gaskets between the hardware and glass.
Additionally, improper alignment of guide rails, wall profiles or other hardware during installation or operation may place
stress on the glass edges and cause it to break.
• This product must be installed by a professional and experienced installer familiar with the safe handling of tempered glass.

General Preparation
 After opening all boxes and packages, read this introduction carefully. Check that all the items are included in the package by
marking off the components on the Shower Door Components page. Examine all boxes and packages for shipping damage.
If the unit has been damaged, has a finishing defect, or is missing parts; please contact our Customer Support department within
3 business days of the delivery date.
Please note that Laurel Mountain will not replace any damaged products or missing parts free of charge after 3
business days or if the product has been installed. Please contact Laurel Mountain if you have any questions.
 Please note that you should refer to your local building codes with questions on installation compliance standards.
Building and plumbing codes may vary by location, and Laurel Mountain is not responsible for code compliance
standards for your project and will not accept any returns.
 If this unit is going to be installed in a new construction, install all the required plumbing and drainage before installing the
shower. Use a competent and licensed (if required by local code) plumber for all plumbing installation.
 Make sure that prior to beginning the installation, the surfaces are leveled and solid and will be able to support the total weight
of the unit. Also make sure the walls are at right angles. Irregular installation surface level, radius corners or improper angle of
side walls will result in serious problems for your installation. Please note that some adjustments and drilling will be necessary
during the installation process.
 Protect all primary surfaces of the product during installation. Never set your glass down directly onto a tile floor. Always use a
piece of wood or cardboard to protect the bottom edge and corners of the glass prior to and during installation.
 This unit must be installed upon a finished threshold and against finished walls.
 Laurel Mountain shower doors are not designed to be installed into a fiberglass surround due to the radius corners and lack of
a solid surface to mount the hardware.
