Front frame installation This installation guide is suitable for both left and right hand orientations of S-1615 shower rooms
Front Frame Components Here are the components of the front frame: one small and one big front panels, top and bottom tracks, eight 7 8th inch long screws, two quarter inch long screws, and two 7/8 inch long stainless steel screws
Track Cross Sections Here are cross sections of big top track and small bottom track.
Top tracks Here is how the top rollers placed into the top track. The top rollers have screw adjustments.
Bottom Rollers Here is how the bottom rollers placed into the bottom track. The bottom rollers are loaded with springs pushing the rollers upwards.
Attach Bottom track to small front panel Let’s attach the bottom track to the small front panel. Lay the panel on a blanket covered worktable with flat surface facing down. Put the short leg of the track over the panel glass and slide it towards the frame stile.
Attach Bottom track to small front panel Step 2 Put 7/8” long iron screw through the pre-cut hole on the stile side.
Attach Bottom track to small front panel Step 3 Align up the screw to the screw hole in the track.
Attach Bottom track to small front panel Step 4 Make a couple of turns to ensure that the screw stays in place.
Putting screw in place Install the second 7/8” screw the same way
Putting the screws in place Both screws are in place and ready for tightening.
Let us tighten the screws. A power screw-driver can be used.
Make sure screws are tight Secure the second screw
Track attachment Make sure that the track is attached tightly to the stile.
Connect middle stile Now let’s connect the track to the middle stile.
Nick the stile Use 1/16” drill bit to nick on the stile to create a small dimple.
Dimple is ready for screw The screw tip will be able to punch through the dimple.
Attach the stile Use ¼” screw to attach.
Attachment finished We now finished attachment of the bottom track to the small panel
Top track attachment Let’s attach the top track, which is the wider track, to the small panel stile
Same process of bottom track In the same way, place two 7/8” screws, through the stile, to the screw holes in the top track.
Tighten screws Tighten both screws with either hand or power screw driver.
Middle stile After nicking the dimple, use 7/8” stainless steel screw to attach to the middle stile. The track is thicker, we have to use 7/8” long screw instead of a quarter inch.
Big front Panel Repeat the same procedures for the big front panel. To make the installation easier, we recommend to use a box to hold the installed small panel up so that the long straight legs of the tracks can lay flat onto the big panel.
Shower completed This is what is looks like completed.
