! WARNING VIGO STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THIS INSTALLATION BE COMPLETED BY A LICENSED PROFESSIONAL. INSTALLATION OF DOOR UNIT REQUIRES AT LEAST TWO PEOPLE. INSTALLATION OF THE SHOWER DOORS BY AN INEXPERIENCED PERSON MAY RESULT IN GLASS BREAKAGE AND CONSEQUENTLY, CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. - Handle fragile items with care to prevent personal injury or material damage. - The glass panels are tempered and cannot be cut. Never attempt to do so.
IMPORTANT Verify that the overall size of the shower door opening is appropriate for the shower enclosure. Due to individual site variations, exact guidelines for every situation cannot be supplied. The recommended framing and dimensional requirements are shown for a typical application and may vary depending on the site requirements. To prevent damage to the finish, you should protect the shower cabin bottom with a cardboard protector before beginning the installation.
A. INSTALLING THE STRUCTURAL RAIL 1. Place the door panel (#5) into the shower first making sure to rest the glass in a manner that the glass or base/tub does not incur damage. 2. Place the structural rail into the cabin opening. Make sure that the wall mount brackets (#1) are assembled on the rail before doing this. If the rail is too long, cut it 5/8" - 3/4" shorter than the cabin opening with a hacksaw to fit properly in the opening. ! Make sure to cut the rail on the shower door side only.
3. Note that the openings on structural rail for the fixed panel holders have an elliptical shape. This allows the holder screws inside the rail to move to the left and right. This will help in accommodating an uneven wall condition. Once you find the right position for the fixed panel (#4) tighten the allen key and cover to secure the fixed panel onto the rail.

Mark holes on the wall for the mounting screws. Drill holes and place plastic anchors (#17) inside them. ! Preferred method of installation negates anchors and has the installation going right into studs.
3. Remove the wall mount bracket assembly (#1) from the structural rail assembly. Unthread the plate from the bracket assembly body. There is a 13mm adjustment built into the plates for minor modifications. B3 PLATE 13mm HEX SCREW BRACKET BODY BRACKET BODY PLATE 4. Place plates to the wall over the plastic anchors.

Note that the rollers have a built-in mechanism that will provide adjustment for walls that are not 100% perpendicular to the floor.
5. Verify that the bottom of the door rests in the back notch of the bottom door guide (#8). C5 5 5 4 6. Screw the two bottom rollers (#3) to the door panel as illustrated in step C2.
7. Adjust the stoppers' (#10) position on the structural rail and tighten the hex screws. ! Position the stoppers in a spot on the structural rail that will avoid the handle from hitting the glass when the door is in an open position. C7 10 10 D. 5 INSTALLING THE THRESHOLD D1 IMPORTANT IN CASE THE THRESHOLD IS CUT TOO SHORT, USE THE THRESHOLD EXTENSION CLIP (#14) TO EXTEND THE THRESHOLD ACCORDINGLY. 1. Place the threshold (#9) into the bottom door guide (#8).
2. Remove the threshold. Apply silicone to the underside of the threshold. Place the threshold back onto its shower base location. Align the threshold and press firmly down. Apply silicone to the threshold around the inside and outside of the shower base. Remove any excess silicone from the threshold. D2 9 E. INSTALLING THE HANDLE 1.
