Steps for installing frameless shower door hinges:
Measurement and Marking:
Measure the height at which you want to install the shower door. Generally, the installation height of the shower door should ensure that it can swing freely without any obstruction.
Mark the hinge locations on the wall and door with a pencil. Make sure the marks are level.
Prepare the door:
If your hinges require drilling holes in the glass, carefully mark the installation locations of the hinges on the door.
Use a glass drill bit to drill. Always wear safety goggles and gloves for protection. Drill slowly to avoid breaking the glass.
Install wall hinges:
Install the wall-mounted hinges at the marked location on the wall. Use a level to ensure they are level.
Mark the location of the screw holes with a pencil.
If necessary, drill guide holes in the wall first, then secure the hinges with screws. Ensure the hinges are firmly secured.
Install door hinges:
Align the door hinges with the holes you drilled in the Glass Door.
Insert the screw through the hinge into the glass. Carefully tighten the screw, being careful not to overtighten it to avoid breaking the glass.
Door Installation:
With the help of another person, lift the shower door and align the hinges on the door with the hinges on the wall.
Secure the door to the wall with hinges according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Check alignment:
Use a level to ensure the door is straight and can swing freely. Make adjustments as necessary.
Sealing the edge:
Apply silicone sealant to the edges where the door hinges meet the wall and door frame to prevent leaks. Smooth the sealant with your fingers or a tool to achieve a smooth surface.
Allow healing:
Before using the shower enclosure, please allow the silicone to cure according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
# # Tip:
When installing hinges, be sure to refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for specific details.
If you are unsure how to drill holes in the glass or about the installation process, consider hiring a professional to ensure a safe and proper installation.
By following these steps, you should be able to successfully install the frameless shower door hinges. Best of luck with your installation!
