OK READY LETS GO
AFTER OPENING YOUR BOX TAKE OUT THE PRE CUT U-CHANNEL
ONE FOR THE BOTTOM OF THE PANEL AND ONE FOR THE SIDE
STEP (1)
TAKE THE BOTTOM TRACK AND PRE DRILL THE HOLES USING 3/16" STEEL DRILL BIT, USUALLY ABOUT 4" FROM EACH END
TAKE A LOOK AT THE POSITION WHERE IT WILL LAY ON YOUR CURB, AS SOMETIMES YOU MAY WANT TO DRILL THROUGH A GROUT LINE. IT WILL BE EASIER TO DRILL ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE DRILLING THROUGH PORCELAIN OR HARDENED TILE.
PLACE THE BOTTOM TRACK WHERE YOU WANT IT ON THE CURB (AS SHOWN HERE) AND DRILL 3/16" HOLE INTO THE CURB USING A 3/16" MASONRY DRILL BIT .USE 3/16" PLASTIC SHIELDS (THESES ARE NOT SUPPLIED BY US)
USE # 6 SCREWS ABOUT 1 1/4" LONG STAINLESS OR GALVANIZED
(TIP) USING A BACK RUBBER BLOCK ON THE DRILL BIT THIS PROTECTS THE METAL WHEN DRILLING EVEN A SMALL BLOCK OF WOOD WILL WORK
STEP(2)
NOW TAKE THE OTHER U-CHANNEL PRE DRILL HOLES AS NEEDED AND PLACE IT VERTICALLY ON THE WALL ON TOP OF THE BOTTOM U-CHANNEL. LEVEL IT AS SHOWN BELOW. USING MASONRY BIT DRILL HOLES INTO TILE. THEN SECURE WITH SCREWS AS IN STEP ONE.
OK NOW FOR THE FUN PART
INSTALLING THE GLASS PANEL
THE FIRST THING TO DO IS GET THE SETTING BLOCKS WE SUPPLIED IN YOU BOX 1/4"X1/4" X2" CLEAR BLOCKS
PLACE THE BLOCKS ABOUT 3" FROM EACH END OF THE BOTTOM CHANNEL (DON'T LAY THEM ON TOP OF THE SCREW HEADS)
NOW TAKE SOME WOOD SHIMS AND PLACE THEM AT THE END OF THE U-CHANNEL ON TOP OF THE CURB
THIS WILL PROTECT THE GLASS IF YOU HIT THE CURB WHEN YOU ARE LAYING IT INTO THE TRACK AS SHOWN BELOW
AFTER YOU LAY IT INTO THE BOTTOM TRACK GENTLY SLIDE IT INTO THE SIDE U-CHANNEL
AT THIS POINT WE CAN MOVE ON TO THE DOOR INSTALL
STEP(3)
TAKE THE DOOR OUT OF THE BOX ,THE HINGES ARE PRE INSTALLED BUT MAY NEED SOME ADJUSTMENTS LATER
FIRST, TAKE THE WOOD SHIMS AND PLACE TWO "STACKS OF TWO "ON THE THRESHOLD.(SEE BELOW) POINT THEM IN THE SAME DIRECTION. THIS WILL MAKE IT EASIER TO MAKE THE DOOR MOVE UP AND DOWN AS SHOWN BELOW BY PUSHING IN OR PULLING OUT THE STACK OF SHIMS.
MAKE SURE THAT THE HEIGHT OF THE DOOR AND THE PANEL ARE EVEN (USE OTHER SETTING BLOCKS TO HELP ADJUST HEIGHT IF NEEDED)
THE HINGES SHOULD LAY AGAINST THE WALL FLAT.
DON'T BE AFRAID TO USE THESE WOOD SHIMS BETWEEN THE DOOR AND PANEL TO PREVENT THEM FROM STRIKING EACH OTHER .THIS ALSO HELPS TO MOVE THE GLASS IN AND OUT
THIS USUALLY WILL TAKE TWO PEOPLE
AFTER YOU GET IT WHERE YOU WANT IT, TAKE THE HAMMER DRILL WITH YOUR 3/16" MASONRY BIT AND DRILL THROUGH THE HINGE HOLES INTO THE TILE ,BE CAREFUL NOT TO RUB AGAINST THE HINGE WITH THE DRILL (YOU CAN SCUFF IT)
SOME PEOPLE TAKE CARDBOARD AND COVER THE SIDE OF THE HINGE SO THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN.
NOW INSTALLING THE SCREWS
IF YOU ARE BITING INTO WOOD, JUST SCREW THE SCREWS IN. IF YOU ARE INTO HARDY BOARD OR CEMENT BOARD USE A PLASTIC SHIELD 3/16" MIN.
NOTE: YOU DON'T NEED TO TAKE THE DOOR OUT TO INSTALL THE SCREW S. JUST DO IT IN PLACE RIGHT THROUGH THE HINGES
AS SHOWN BELOW
STEP(4)
INSTALLING HANDLE
STEP(5)
INSTALLING STRIKE JAMB ON SIDE OF PANEL
CUT TO FULL HEIGHT FROM CURB TO HEIGHT OF GLASS PANEL AND THEN PUSH ON NOTE: MAKE SURE DOOR IS IN THE OPEN POSITION
STEP (6) INSTALLING BOTTOM SWEEP
CUT TO WIDTH OF DOOR AND NOTCH AROUND STRIKE JAMB AS NEEDED TO LET THE DOOR CLOSE.
STEP(7)
SILICONE ALL EDGES WITH A SMALL BEAD OF MILDEW RESISTANT CLEAR SILICONE. SILICONE THE GLASS TO U-CHANNEL AND THEN THE U-CHANNEL TO WALL ON THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE.
WE RECOMMEND A GLASS SEALER THAT HELPS TO KEEP THE WATER STAINS OFF YOUR GLASS AND REDUCES MAINTENANCE.
(Transparent
Polymer Coating) will seal the pores of many materials including glass, marble,
tile, plastic and fiberglass making the treated surfaces highly resistant to
stains and water spots. The clear polymer is easy to use. Simply spray on and
wipe off with a soft towel.
• Convenient 16 oz. Spray Bottle.
