1/4"
Shim
8. Install the Door
IMPORTANT! Perform the following steps with two installers.
NOTE: The following steps are done from inside the shower. Place your drill, screwdriver, 9/64" drill bit, screw
bit, and #8 x 5/8" screws in the shower before beginning.
- Place a 1/4" shim on the threshold as shown to maintain correct spacing. The shim should be located on the
handle side of the door. It may help to hold the shim in place with tape.
NOTE: Keep the shim in place. Do not remove the shim until the door is secured in place.
- Lift the door and insert the tab on the bottom of the door into the groove on the threshold.
- Slide the door all the way into the expander jamb.
- Have your partner in position outside of the shower to steady the door until it is secured. From the inside of the
shower module, lift and close the door using the door handle while being careful not to displace the shim.
- Adjust the door and the side panel (or strike jamb) so the magnets on the side of the door and side of the
panel/strike jamb line up and the spacing around the door is constant.
IMPORTANT! Do not over expand. Slide both the side panel/strike jamb and the door an equal distance from
expander jambs. The expansion on both sides should be approximately the same. Refer to the roughing in sheet
for sizes.
- While your partner makes sure the door remains stationary, drill a 9/64" hole in the second hole from the top of
the expander jamb. Insert and tighten a #8 x 5/8" screw to temporarily hold the door in place.
NOTE: Make sure that each hole is drilled through the door frame. If a hole misses or only partially contacts the
door frame, the door may not be properly held in place.
- If needed, with the door closed, readjust the door and side panel from the outside of the shower to ensure the gap
between the door and side panel/strike jamb is constant and the magnets line up. Make sure the gaps appear
consistent.
- Once the door and side panel are in the proper installation position, drill the remaining holes and secure the door
to the expander jamb using four additional #8 x 5/8" screws. Install the screws in the bottom five positions. The
top hole will be left open at this point.
