DOOR ON LEFT SIDE DOOR ON RIGHT SIDE

STEP 3. PLACE WALL JAMBS AGAINST SHOWER WALLS

STEP 4. DOOR CONFIGURATIONS (RIGHT OR LEFT)

• Drill holes at a 90-degree angle using

the 3/16” bit.

• Insert plastic Screw Anchors and secure

jambs to walls using the 1-1/4” Installation

Screws (6-8114 1329).

• Temporarily tape the Sill (CST 900S) to shower curb, ensuring it does not move while

taking your measurements.

• Place Wall Jambs (CST 903 & CST 965) against shower walls, on the same side you’ve

chosen to place the hinge. You’ll see Right versus Left Conﬁgurations below.

• Use your pencil or felt tip pen to mark hole locations on shower walls. There are three

holes per jamb. Always double-check your measurements and marks before continuing

with installation.

NOTE: Remember, the Wall Jamb (CST 903) is always

positioned on the same side as the door hinge.

IMPORTANT: All Coastal Shower Doors are pre-assembled for left-side conﬁguration. To convert to right-

side conﬁguration, follow the steps below:

You’ll notice two holes just above the top and bottom hinge pins. These are pre-cut for right-side door

conﬁgurations.

To convert your door to a right-side conﬁguration, remove the screws from the pins, then install them into the

other holes. This will cause your door to stick up 5/8” at the top. Simply rotate your door 180 degrees, as if

you were correcting an upside-down photograph, with the hinge on the right side.

Your door should now open to the exterior of the shower enclosure, completing the right-side conﬁguration.

STEP 5. INSTALL STATIONARY GLASS PANEL

OVERHEAD VIEW (WITH NOMINAL OPENING)

CST 903

CST 900S

1. Place both Setting Blocks (CP 938) inside the Sill (CST

900S). They should ﬁt nicely inside the crevice, and be

spaced so the stationary glass panel rests evenly on each.

2. Run a bead of clear silicone the full

length of the Wall Jamb (CST 965),

on both the left and right inside walls

of the jamb.

3. Carefully place the stationary glass

panel on top of the Setting Blocks

(CP 938), and slide it into the Wall

Jamb (CST 965).

4. With your stationary panel in place, measure the bottom length of your

glass panel, from its edge to the jamb. Cut your Front/Back Vinyl

Strips (C 951 B) to that length, then press them into the remaining

space between the bottom Sill (CST 900S) and the stationary

glass panel. This will secure the panel in place.

TIP: If you’re having trouble installing the Front/Back Vinyl Strips, apply a

small amount of soapy water to it. This makes the application smoother.

CST 965

Stationary Glass Panel CST 965

IMPORTANT: The panel can go anywhere from 1/4” to 1-1/8” inside the Wall Jamb

(CST 965). You’ll need to check measurements for your Wall Jamb (CST 903) on the

door side, and the gap needed between the door panel and stationary panel (where

the door closes), to know how far into the Wall Jamb (CST 965) you should slide the

stationary glass. You can see how the door closes on page 9.

MEASURE DOOR OPENING

1. Measure the space between the hinge-side Wall Jamb

(CST 903) and the stationary panel. Cut the Dam Sill (CST

901) to that measurement, minus 1/16”.

2. Snap the Dam Sill (CST 901) into the bottom Sill (CST

900S) with the upright lip toward the exterior.

3. With the Dam Sill (CST 901) in place, press the Vinyl Strike

Post (C 180 C) onto the exposed edge of the stationary

glass panel. Make sure the Vinyl Strike Post (C 180 C) is

ﬁrmly seated all the way onto the panel.

Insert the door hinge into the Wall Jamb (CST 903),

ensuring the door swings away from the shower enclosure.

4. Next, measure from the bottom of the Vinyl Strike Post (C 180 C)

to the bottom of the Door Strike (931 M). This will determine where

your magnet will meet the Door Strike.

5. Trim the Seal Vinyl (C 956 C) 1/2” longer than your measurement,

to account for the extra room at the bottom Sill (CST 900S). Then,

slide the Seal Vinyl (C 956 C) inside the Vinyl Strike Post (C 180 C)

with the wing facing outward.

STEP 8. INSERT DOOR/STRIKE POST VINYL AND MAGNET

1. On the edge of the door glass, center the Door-

Strike Vinyl (C 955 B) between the holes you’ll

later use for installing the handle.

2. Place the Door Strike (931 M) over the Door-Strike

Vinyl (C 955 B), with the thicker edge toward the

inside of the shower. (This edge will work with

your magnet.) Tap the Door Strike into place with

a rubber mallet.

3. Use a box cutter to carefully trim any excess vinyl from around

the Door Strike (931 M).

6. Slide the Magnet (98-45) inside the Vinyl Strike Post (C 180 C) to

rest on top of the Seal Vinyl (C 956 C). It should meet the Door

Strike (931 M) to magnetize, keeping your door closed.

7. Slide the rest of the Seal Vinyl (C 956 C) in the Vinyl Strike Post

(C 180 C), on top of the Magnet (98-45), then, trim the excess at

the top to be ﬂush with the Vinyl Strike Post (C 180 C).

STEP 9. SECURING DOOR ASSEMBLY IN PLACE

STEP 10. INSTALL JAMB CAPS

When satisﬁed with the door operation (the Door Strike [931 M]

should meet the magnet inside the Vinyl Strike Post and hold

with even spacing between door edge and strike post from top to

bottom), step inside the shower. Use your electric drill to secure

the Hinge Post to the Wall Jamb (CST 903) using three

Adjustment Screws (638 PHPT). You’ll want one screw in the

center, and the other two 3 inches from the top and bottom.

Install Jamb Caps (CP 965) on the top of both Wall Jambs. The

caps will likely stick out too far. You can trim them as needed.

STEP 11. INSTALLING THE DOOR HANDLE

STEP 12. INSTALLING DRIP RAIL

1. Insert the two clear plastic bushings into the

holes on the glass.

2. Slip a washer (K2) onto the screw (K1).

3. From inside the shower, insert the screw through

the bushing hole, then, slide a washer onto the

screw (on the exterior side of the door).

4. Hand tighten the screw into the Handle (C-5313-

8), then use the ﬂathead screwdriver to tighten

further.

IMPORTANT: Don’t tighten beyond a comfortable

tension, or you risk damaging the door.

5. Complete the installation by tightening the two

set screws (K4) into the interior handle.

1. Position drip wing toward interior of shower, and insert Drip Rail

(C 914 C) onto the bottom edge of the door.

2. Trim as required using a straight edge. Test door closure and ensure

vinyl sweep ﬁts inside Dam Sill (CST 901). Snap in when door is closed.

STEP 13. INSTALL SUPPORT BAR (OPTIONAL)

STEP 14. LEAK PROOF YOUR INSTALLATION

1. Position the bracket over the top of the stationary glass panel using the vinyl pads to protect the glass on

both sides. (Note: The further from the wall, the more secure the panel will be.)

2. Adjust bar position and mark hole location.

3. Insert plastic screw anchor and secure Support Bar (C-5401) to the wall using a screwdriver.

4. Lock the adjusted bar in place using the two sets of screws located on the top of the bar.

IMPORTANT: Support Bar (C-5401) is included with all LHL 5775 models, but is not included on

LHL 4575 models.

To complete the installation, run a bead of clear, mildew-resistant clear silicone around the outside perimeter

of the unit. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions before using your new Coastal shower.
