  1. Find  and locate vertical center line of glass on wall for installation. We suggest hinges be located 8" to 10" on center from top and bottom.

  2. Locate a second vertical line 31/32" from the center line of the glass (This line indicates the vertical edge of the hinge backplate).

  3. Locate the height of each backplate. (Remember to allow for clearance under the door or fixed panel.)

  4. Mark the mounting hole through the backplate.

  5. Follow template for proper cut out in glass.

  6. Door jamb should be plumb and true with double stud construction. Door should be centered on curb.

    A)  Use only #12 wood or sheet metal screws (stainless or brass) minimum of 2 1/2" long, longer if needed to reach stud.

    C)  Start both screws in wall and secure by alternating from one screw to the other. Be careful that the screw heads do not scratch the finish surface.
