Thank you for purchasing this Maine shower door. Please study these instructions
carefully before assembly and installation.
Checking of Parts
Parts are listed at the beginning of this guide. Please check all supplied parts immediately
and contact the Majestic Shower Company in the event of any missing or damaged parts.
These instructions are for left and right handed units. All parts are reversible.
Handling of Parts
When handling glass, use suction glass lifters and take care to ensure that corners or edges
are not knocked. Do not place glass on hard surfaces - place cushioning material under-
neath to prevent the glass from shattering.
Unwrap all metal parts carefully to prevent damaging the plated surfaces.
Pre Installation Checks
Prior to undertaking installation, check the accuracy of the following against specifications
for the particular installation location:
- Verticality and flatness of walls. Walls must be substantially vertical and the finished wall
to finished wall dimension must be as specified at the top and bottom of the door.
- Levelness and flatness of the floor or tray.
Installation Tips
The general principle of assembly is to assemble parts in the steps shown - first a dry
assembly to check fits or mark cutting or drilling positions and then a final assembly with
silicone.
If anti-calcium glass has been specified, the treated side of the glass will be indicated and
should always face inwards towards the wet side of the shower area.
DO NOT ASSEMBLE WITHOUT FULLY READING THESEINSTRUCTIONS

1 Place the underframe in position in the aperture where the door is to be fitted.
If the underframe is to be installed on a tray, ideally the outer edge of the underframe
should sit 10mm back from the front edge of the tray.
When you have established the correct position for the underframe, mark its position.

Run a substantial bead of silicone along the centre of the underside of the
underframe and apply a small amount of silicone into the corners where the
underframe will sit against the walls.
Reposition the underframe where marked and tape it in place whilst the
silicone sets.
Insert short pieces of the self adhesive rubber strip supplied in each door hinge slot on the
Door as shown to ensure that the door does not drop under its own weight over time.
Disassemble the hinges, being careful not to damage the polished surfaces, and assemble
them to the door ensuring that each face of the glass is separated from the hinges by a gasket.

Position the hinges centrally in their slots and use a set square to align them with
the edge of the glass. Check that the holes are adequately packed with the rubber
strips by using a set square to ensure that the hinges are at 90 degrees to the
edge of the glass when upward pressure is applied to them.
Fully tighten the hinge screws to 10-12 Nm torque.
Steps 5-7 require one person to support the glass door at all times, while the other
person mut be inside the enclosure with hinge faceplates, gaskets and screws.
Position the door mounting blocks in the underframe channel as shown. Using
suction glass lifters, lift the glass door on to the mounting blocks.

Use a long spirit level to check that the door is plumb vertical and then mark the
screw holes for the hinges and remove the door. Drill 7 mm holes in the wall where marked and insert wall plugs. Replace the door.
Using only the four outer screw holes, tightly screw the hinges to the wall. To
prevent damage to the hinge plates, open the door outwards to gain access to the
inner screw holes, insert screws and tighten fully.

Remove sharp corners
End to touch top of

Fit one length of the vertical seal full height on the handle side of the door and trim
it level with the top edge of the glass.
The bottom end of the seal should extend down to the top of the underframe but
should be notched as shown so that it does not interfere with the horizontal seal which
will be fitted to the bottom of the Door.
The other length of vertical seal is to be cut in 3 sections to fit to the door above,
below and between the hinges.
For maximum resistance to leakage, the seal sections should be cut as shown
above to allow them to fill the gaps in the hinge through which water might
otherwise escape.

Push the underframe insert into the underframe channel under the door noting
the difference in orientation for outward and inward opening doors.
The vertical blade of the insert should be notched at each end as shown to allow
any water to drain back from the underframe to the inside of the shower
enclosure.
If you have the Finger Pull handle option, the door will be supplied with the handle
pre-fitted as shown.

Alternatively, if you have a back-to-back handle, fit this to the door as shown,
ensuring the black plastic washers are located in the holes on both sides of the
glass.
Tighten the grub screws on the inside handle to secure.
Close the door carefully and check that the seals close on to the walls correctly.
If necessary, the door can be adjusted on its hinges.
Adjust the bias on the hinges using the 2 small grub screws on the inside and
outside of the hinge. For an outward opening door, the two grub screws on the
outside of each hinge should be undone until their heads are flush with the hinge.
The grub screws on the inside of the hinge can then be tightened, pulling the door
in to the seal.
Reverse this process for inward opening doors.
