Installation steps

CAUTION: When cutting or drilling metal components or when handling glass, to reduce the risk of personal injury, protective eye wear, gloves, and closed- toe shoes are required.

1. Measure the distance from the finished wall to the finished wall .
   This distance will represent the finished opening size “W” that will be used to calculate the finished cut dimension for the Upper Guide Rail (I). (Fig 1)
   
   

2. The Upper Guide Rail (I) has been precut for the model width of 60″.
   (Note: The actual rail is shorter than the model width by design).
   Cut the Upper Guide Rail (I) from the door end only , which is the end that is farther from the Glass Bracket (J) holes. Use a metal file to remove any burrs from the cut end. (Fig 2)
   
   The length to cut off will be (X):
   Model Width – opening W = cut off length (X)
   FOR EXAMPLE
   If the model width is 60” and the finished opening from the finished wall to the inside surface of the finished wall is 58”, then you will need to cut 2” off from the door end of the Guide Rail. Example: 60” – 58” = 2” cut off
   *Note that this is only an example and the actual cut-off length will vary based on the actual finished opening dimension.
   CAUTION: When cutting or drilling metal components or when handling glass, to reduce the risk of personal injury, protective eye wear, gloves, and closed-toe shoes are required.

3. This model requires a minimum 3-1/8” of flat threshold space for installation.
   Starting from the wall on the stationary panel side, use a Carpenter’s Square as a guide and draw a reference line on the threshold. ( Fig 3 )

Roller adjustment procedure

To achieve minimal clearance beneath the door glass without making contact with the bottom guide block and creating a good seal with the wall.

Have at least two 3/16” shims or wedge shims (to maintain space beneath the door glass) and an assistant available to help with this procedure.
You should adjust only one wheel at a time and you may need to perform these steps more than once to get the desired results.

Caution: The door glass is heavy and may require two people to safely accomplish these steps.

1. First, loosen and lower either the Roller Guards or to allow you enough room to adjust the upper rollers.
2. Loosen the decorative cover on the roller. (See note 2 below)
3. Loosen the big bolt just enough so that you can rotate the adjustment disk. (See note 3 below)
4. Rotate the adjustment disk to raise or lower the door slightly with help from an assistant. You can use a small tool (like an allen wrench) to aid in turning this disk by inserting it into the small hole on the edge of the adjustment disk. (see note 4 & 5 below)
5. While holding the adjustment disk in place, retighten the big bolt. Use a shim or have an assistant hold the door glass in place while you retighten the big bolt. Test the operation of the door.
6. Reposition the roller guards approximately 1/16” beneath the guide rail and retighten.
