D - Dry Fit Door/Header
The door can pivot with the hinges on the left or right side depending on your preference. We will
illustrate an installation with the hinges on the right side.
1. Have one person place the door in its open position by allowing the bottom hinge pin to slide
into the hole in the pan threshold. Make sure the bottom hinge has the spacer on the pin.
(diagram 23)
Be sure to keep the door in a vertical position. If the door is not kept
vertical, damage to the hinge, glass, or pan may occur.
2. Next, have the other person place the header center section into position. Align the hole in the
header center section with the hinge pin and align the glass channels with the glass panels.
3. Push the header center section all the way down onto the glass panels and the position the door
in its closed position. (diagram 24)
4. Check for clearance between the door and glass panels and top and bottom of door.
(diagram 25)
There should be minimum of 3/16” between the door and panels. If you need
to, push the panels into the wall thresholds to increase your gap to no more than 1/4”.
5. With a pencil, mark your side glass panel positions when adjusted correctly, this will give you a
reference point when permanently glueing in place with silicone.

4. Refer back to all of the previous steps and diagrams to make sure the glass panels are in the
proper position.
