NOTE:

 Obscure glass doors should be installed with 

the rough surface of the glass to the exterior of the unit.  
Deco or etched glass doors should be installed with the 
patterned surface to the inside.  The towel bar mounting 
hole closest to to the edge of each glass panel should 
be to the outside.
Determine the proper orientation of the door hanger brack-
ets [

G

] to the glass door panels [

H

].  Fit four of the nylon 

bushings [

I

] into the 3/8" diameter holes in the top edge 

of the door panels.  Slide the four hanger brackets onto 
the top edge of the panels until the countersunk holes 
line up with the bushings.  Secure the brackets to the 
door panels with four 1/4"-20 x 5/8" [

J

] flat head screws.

 

This bath enclosure is equipped with safety tee-

lock wall jambs.  When installed properly the header is 
permanently  locked  to  the  wall  jambs  and  cannot  be 
accidently dislodged.
Measure the wall-to-wall opening at the top of the wall 
jambs  [

B

]  and  cut  the  header  [

F

]  1/16”  short  of  this 

dimension.  Check the header for fit.
Slide  the  safety  tee-lock  of  the  unmounted  wall  jamb 
into the header.
Holding  the  header  [

F

]  at  an  angle,  engage  the  end 

onto  the  mounted  wall  jamb.    Pivot  the  header  into 
place,  then  slide  the  loose  wall  jamb  to  the  wall  and 
press into position on the tub track.  Attach the loose 
wall jamb to the wall per the instructions in step 4.

NOTE: If you are using the optional Anti-Jump vinyl, you 

need to insert it into the end of the header at this point.  It 

cannot be installed once the header is mounted.

 

Replace one wall jamb [

A

] and attach it to the wall 

with three #8 x 1 1/2” truss head screws [

D

].  The top 

and bottom screws should go through a Jamb Bumper 
[

E

].  Check the jamb for plumb and tighten the screws. 

Repeat for the other wall jamb.

Note: Do not over tighten the wall jamb screws.
