Preparation

1. Prior to installation, examine all boxes and packages for shipping damage and compare the piece

count with your packing slip. After opening all boxes and packages read this introduction carefully.
Check that all of the needed parts are included in the package by checking off the components
on the “Detailed Diagram of Shower Door Components”. If the unit has been damaged, has a
finishing defect, or has missing parts, please contact our customer support department within

3 business days of the delivery date. Please note that DreamLine® will not replace any
damaged products or missing parts free of charge after 3 business days or if the product
has been installed. Please contact DreamLine® if you have any questions and please provide an

order number, job name or other proof of purchase to help identify the original order.

2. Please note that you should consult your local building codes with questions about

installation compliance standards. Building and plumbing codes may vary by location, and
DreamLine® is not responsible for code compliance standards for your project and will not
accept any returns.

3. If this unit is going to be installed in a new construction, install all of the required plumbing and

drainage before installing the shower. Use a competent and licensed (if required by local code)
plumber for all plumbing installation.

4. Please make sure that prior to beginning the installation, the surfaces are leveled and solid and

will be able to support the total weight of the unit. Also make sure the walls are at right angles.
Irregular installation surface level, radius corners or improper angle of side walls will result in
serious problems for your installation. Please note that some adjustments and drilling may be
necessary during the installation process.

5. Please protect all primary surfaces of the product during installation. Never set your glass down

directly onto a tile floor. Leave corner protectors in place until necessary to remove them. Always
use a piece of wood or cardboard to protect the bottom edge and corners of the glass prior to
and during installation.

6. This unit must be installed upon a finished threshold and against finished walls.

7. This door is extremely heavy and the hinges on this door must be attached to the studs or

to preinstalled 2” × 6” wood reinforcement behind the wall. See pages 8, 9 & 10 for details.

8. The single Unidoor installation does NOT have any adjustment for out-of-plumb conditions.

Please verify that your walls are plumb before proceeding with the installation.

9. Professional installation is recommended for this heavy glass frameless shower door.

NOTE: DO NOT attach the handle to the door glass until instructed to do so. DO NOT use the
handle to lift the glass during installation. This may result in damage to the glass and/or serious injury.
Always use an assistant and/or a professional grade glass suction cup when handling heavy glass
panels.

Single Shower Door Assembly and Installation

ATTENTION:
Never set your glass down directly
onto a tile or concrete floor.

Always use a piece of wood or cardboard
and leave the corner pads and protective
shims on the glass until it becomes
necessary to remove them to protect the
bottom edge and corners from damage
which could lead to breakage.

Fig. 1

ATTENTION:

This door is extremely
heavy and the hinges
on this door must be
attached to the studs
or to preinstalled 2 ×
6 wood reinforcement
behind the wall.

NOTE: The following shower door installation instructions should be used as a general
guide and prerequisite to the installation of the UNIDOOR, UNIDOORLUX and UNIDOOR
PLUS models. Before you begin the installation, please check your finished opening size.
Specific size information can be found on our website at DreamLine.com

1. Attach the Hinges (05) to the Door Glass (01) using at least one

(2mm) vinyl hinge gasket per side.

See Fig. 1 for details.

“UNIDOOR” Single Shower Door Ver.2 Rev.2 06/2016

ATTENTION:
For Styles E, I, J, K & L that have return panels:
Please check model dimensions for proper placement of the Glass door (01) so that it will
align correctly with the return panel glass.

ATTENTION:
This door is extremely

Fig. 2

Fig. 3

2. The Door Glass (01) ships with four 5/8” shims

attached to the top (2pcs) and bottom (2pcs).
Determine the swing of your door and only remove the
shims from the top of the door glass, leaving the
bottom shims in place. Set the Door Glass (01) onto
the threshold at the desired location and check for level.
These 5/8” shims will leave the proper spacing at the
bottom of the door glass and will ensure that the door
height finishes at 72”, but always confirm with a
measurement. Carefully butt the door with the hinged
side against the wall, adjust its position and check for
plumb with a level.

ATTENTION:

Check the door glass with a level to verify that it is
plumb before marking the hinge positions.

See Fig. 2 for details.

TIP:

If installing the door along with panel glass, use the
72" Anti-Water strip (Inline) (19) that is packed with
the panel glass as a reference to be sure that the door
height will match the panel glass at 72".

3. Hold the door in place and mark the drill

holes for both Hinges (05) on the wall. Set
the door aside and drill the holes in the wall
using Ø 1/4” drill bit.

IMPORTANT:
The included PVC hinge spacers (31) are
provided to compensate for minor out­of-plumb wall conditions. Use only as
needed as their use could compromise
the opening size of your shower. Please
see Fig 4 for an installation example.

Place the Door Glass (01) back onto the
threshold with the 5/8” spacers and attach
both hinges to the wall with only two
Countersunk screws ST5×70 (04) on the
hinge from outside of the shower. Then
open the door and install the remaining
screws to the inside of each hinge.

See Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 for details.

ATTENTION:
The back plate of the hinge from inside the
shower locates too close to the drilled holes in
the wall and might get scratched by the long

screws or screwdriver. Be careful not to scratch

the hinge surface.

(OPTIONAL)

4. Carefully remove back plates from the Hinges (05)

and set the Door Glass (01) aside.
Screw in the rest of the Countersunk screws ST5 x
70 (04) into the wall, place the Door Glass (01) with
the spacers back to its position and reassemble the
Hinges (05). Once the door glass is secure, remove
the 5/8” spacers from beneath the Door Glass (01).

See Fig. 5 for details.

Product Maintenance

BASES and BACKWALLS: To ensure long lasting life for your acrylic back walls: wipe them off

after each use with a soft cloth. To clean the acrylic back walls use non-abrasive sprays or cream
based cleaners. Avoid the use of aerosol spray cleaners. Never use abrasive cleansers, metal
brushes or scrapers that could scratch or dull the surface.

GLASS: To ensure long lasting life for your glass shower products: wipe them off after each use
with a soft cloth. Rinse and wipe off the glass using either a soft cloth or a squeegee to prevent
soap buildup and water spots (Hard water can etch the surface of the glass over time if left to dry).
To prevent scratching the surface: never use abrasive cleaners or cleaning products that contain
scouring agents. Never use bristle brushes or abrasive sponges that may scratch the surface.

HARDWARE: To ensure a long lasting finish: wipe off the metal parts after each use with a soft
cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or cleaning products containing ammonia, bleach or acid. If
accidentally used, rinse the surface as soon as possible to prevent damage to the finish (peeling or
corrosion). After cleaning the polished finishes, rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with soft cloth.
Clean stainless steel surfaces at least once a week. When applying stainless steel cleaner or polish
to stainless steel hardware, work with (not across) the grain. Never use an abrasive sponge or cloth,
steel wool or wired brush as these may permanently scratch the surfaces.

Style “G”: 6”-34” In-Line Half Wall Stationary Panel Installation

NOTE: The Unidoor shower door needs to be
installed prior to proceeding with the following
Stationary Glass installation instructions. Please
see the Single Shower Door installation manual
included in the door packaging for complete
shower door installation instructions. Before you
begin the installation, please recheck your shower
opening size. Specific size information can be

found on our website at DreamLine.com

NOTE: The Unidoor hinge is designed to over close 8°. The
following procedure is recommended to ensure proper
alignment of the panel glass and door.

1. Align the Door so that it is perpendicular to the wall and

parallel to the threshold. Measure across the bottom span of
the Door and threshold on the outside of shower and
determine an equal value.
Use a straight edge as guide to mark a line on the half wall
ledge on the handle side for future reference.

5. While securely holding the Stationary glass (11),

close the Glass Door and align the Stationary glass
to it. Use the door mark on the ledge as a reference
to ensure that the Door is perpendicular to the wall.

NOTE: The top of the Stationary glass must be
leveled with the Glass door. By traversing across
the top of both the Stationary glass and door,
height differences can be measured. The
Adjustment spacers (28) are provided to
compensate for such differences by inserting
them into the U-Channel 2 (bottom profile) (29).
Please make note of the spacer size that is needed
for your situation.

Ensure that the Stationary glass is level vertically and
precisely in line with Door. The U-channel 1 (wall
profile) (09) will remain flush against the wall.
Outline the position of the Stationary glass along
the inside edge of both U-channels on the wall and
half wall ledge.
Mark the U-channel 1 (wall profile) (09) at the top
horizontal glass edge. The height of this mark will
change if spacers are needed.

See Fig. 6 & 7 for details.

Product Maintenance

BASES and BACKWALLS: To ensure long lasting life for your acrylic back walls: wipe them off

after each use with a soft cloth. To clean the acrylic back walls use non-abrasive sprays or cream
based cleaners. Avoid the use of aerosol spray cleaners. Never use abrasive cleansers, metal
brushes or scrapers that could scratch or dull the surface.

GLASS: To ensure long lasting life for your glass shower products: wipe them off after each use
with a soft cloth. Rinse and wipe off the glass using either a soft cloth or a squeegee to prevent
soap buildup and water spots (Hard water can etch the surface of the glass over time if left to dry).
To prevent scratching the surface: never use abrasive cleaners or cleaning products that contain
scouring agents. Never use bristle brushes or abrasive sponges that may scratch the surface.

HARDWARE: To ensure a long lasting finish: wipe off the metal parts after each use with a soft
cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or cleaning products containing ammonia, bleach or acid. If
accidentally used, rinse the surface as soon as possible to prevent damage to the finish (peeling or
corrosion). After cleaning the polished finishes, rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with soft cloth.
Clean stainless steel surfaces at least once a week. When applying stainless steel cleaner or polish
to stainless steel hardware, work with (not across) the grain. Never use an abrasive sponge or cloth,
steel wool or wired brush as these may permanently scratch the surfaces.
