Tools and Materials
Before You Begin
CAUTION: Risk of injury or product damage. Do not attempt to cut tempered glass. Tempered
glass shatters when it is cut.
NOTICE: Do not touch the edge of the tempered glass panel with tools or any hard objects. Do not set the
unframed tempered glass edge directly on the floor. This will reduce the risk of shattering.
NOTE: Record the model number on the Homeowners Guide. The proper model number will enable our
customer service representatives to quickly help you if needed.
IMPORTANT! This door is designed to accommodate walls that are less than 3/8 (1 cm) out of plumb.
Verify the area the door will be attached to is within 3/8 (1 cm) or better of plumb. The door may not
function properly if the wall is more than 3/8 (1 cm) out of plumb.
Your new Kohler door can be installed with the door opening to either the right or left. Install the
door with the pivot side away from the showerhead for best results. These instructions show the
door installed with a left side swing. Doors that swing to the right would be opposite.
Before starting the installation, lay out and identify all of the parts. Inspect them for damage.
The shower receptor should be installed and prepared at this time, including finished wall materials.
Some steps in these instructions are specific to a right or left side hinge installation. Follow the
instructions which pertain to your installation configuration.
Place a drop cloth in the bottom of your shower to cover your drain and ease clean-up.
Closely follow the instructions pertaining to the sealant application on the door. Sealing areas other
than those shown may cause leaking.
Two people should perform this installation.
Kohler Co. reserves the right to make revisions to the design of products without notice, as specified
in the Price Book.

1. Determine the Door Configuration
IMPORTANT! Depending on which pivot configuration is chosen (left or right) your assembly instructions
will vary. For purposes of these instructions, a left hinge installation is shown.
IMPORTANT! Install the pivot side of the door on the side opposite the showerhead. The handle side of
the door should be on the same side as the showerhead.
Determine whether the door will pivot on the right or left side.
Make sure the door can swing freely in the chosen configuration.
Locate the bottom track on the shower ledge with the front side facing the outside of the shower.
Label the pivot side and strike side of the bottom track using masking tape.

2. Install the Adjustment Clamps
Insert four adjustment clamps into each wall jamb (eight total).
Partially thread a #8-18 x 3/4 flathead screw through each pre-drilled hole in the wall jambs and
into an adjustment clamp using the 3/32 hex wrench provided. Do not fully tighten the screws at
this time to allow strike jamb and hinge jamb installation.

3. Locate the Wall Jambs
Position the wall jamb flat against the wall with the base of the jamb centered on the shower
threshold.
NOTE: Some filing may be required of the bottom edge of the wall jamb if your bath unit has rounded
corners.
Plumb the wall jamb into position using a level.
Temporarily secure the level position of the wall jamb with several pieces of masking tape.
Make a pencil mark at the four pre-drilled hole locations in the wall jamb.
Remove the masking tape, then remove the wall jamb to an out of the way place to prepare for
drilling of the four holes.
Slowly drill the marked hole location with a 5/16 drill bit. If drilling through ceramic tile, use a
masonry drill bit.
NOTE: When installing on ceramic tile, use a center punch to lightly nick the surface of the glaze. Tap
the center punch lightly with a hammer to avoid cracking the tile.
Insert a wall anchor into each hole.
Reposition the wall jamb over the installed wall anchors.
Secure the wall jamb loosely onto the wall with the four # 8-18 x 2 provided screws.
NOTE: NOTE: Thoroughly clean and dry all dust, dirt, and grease from the bottom track and shower
ledge surfaces.
Repeat the procedure for the opposite wall jamb, taking care to make sure it is directly opposite the
first installed wall jamb.

4. Seal and Install the Bottom Track
Thoroughly clean and dry all dust, dirt, and grease from the bottom track and shower ledge
surfaces where the bottom track will sit and the silicone sealant will be applied.
Measure from the left side stop in the wall jamb to the right side stop (dimension A).
Using a pencil, mark dimension A on all three sides of the bottom track.
Along the inside edge of the pencil marks, place a piece of masking tape.
Carefully cut the bottom track along the masking tape edge.
Use a file to remove the rough edges along the cut.
Remove the masking tape.
NOTE: When positioning the bottom track in the wall jambs, move the inside edge of the bottom track
against the small stop first. Then gently push the entire bottom track down until the outside edge is in
position against the wall jamb and the threshold .
Insert the bottom track between the two wall jambs to check for proper fit. The outside of the
bottom track (high side) should face toward the outside of the shower. The inside end of the bottom
track should fit snugly against the back edge of the wall jamb (Inside of Shower)
Remove the bottom track from the wall jambs.
Apply silicone sealant in the groove located on the underside of the bottom track.
Reinstall the bottom track.
Secure the bottom track in place with masking tape.

the shower. Each slot in the strike jamb will slide over the screw body and fit between the clamp
and wall jamb.
Secure the strike jamb to the wall jamb at the top and bottom by tightening the flathead screws with
the 3/32 hex wrench until snug.
Install a strike jamb cover on the top opening of the strike jamb.
Use scissors or a utility knife to cut any excess bulb seal away so the seal is flush with the top of
the strike jamb.

The glass on the door should be aligned evenly with the back edge of the bulb seal. The edge of the
glass should be 3/16 (5 mm) from the strike jamb.
If the door needs adjusting, loosen the screws holding the hinge jamb in place (do not remove) and
shift the assembly as needed. Adjust the strike jamb in the same manner. The door may be adjusted
3/4 (1.9 cm) on each side.
When each side of the door is uniformly aligned, fully tighten the screws.
