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

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.

Setting the Adjustable Hinges
The Adjustable hinges are pre-set to overclose to 85º and are adjustable up to 90º after the door is installed. Once the door glass is installed, simply loosen the allen set screws and position the door to the desired closed position. While holding the door in the new closed position, retighten the allen screws and your door will now self-center to the chosen closed position.
4a. Make sure the door glass is plumb and the edge of the hinge is installed flush with the glass edge. Center the hinge in the glass notch and tighten the faceplate screws (Figure 5a). Be careful not to scratch the finished surfaces of the hinge during installation.

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.

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.
See Fig. 1 for details.

NOTE: Use parts from “Detailed Diagram of Glass Panel Components” for the Stationary Glass assembly and installation.
2. Measure the actual width and height of
your Stationary glass (11).
See Fig. 2 for details.
3. NOTE: You will be doing straight cuts for this
stationary panel installation.
*It may be necessary to remove any burrs from the cut end of the U-channels with a metal file before placing the U-channel onto the glass.
a) Use a miter saw to rough cut the U-channel 2
(44”, bottom profile) to the actual width of the
glass (+) 1”.
b) Use a miter saw to rough cut the U-Channel 1
(76”, wall profile) (09) to the actual height of the glass (+) 1”.
See Fig. 3 & 4 for details.

4. Slip the cut U-channel 2 (bottom profile) (29) and
U-channel 1 (wall profile) (09) onto the Stationary glass (11) in the shown locations.
With the door open, place the Stationary glass on the half wall ledge opposite of door. Adjust the Stationary glass and U-channel 1 (wall profile) against the wall to compensate for any out of plumb conditions ensuring that the Stationary glass is level vertically and U-channel 1 is flush with the wall.
NOTE: The exposed vertical glass edge must be flush with the finished half wall’s door side face.
Mark the U-channel 2 (bottom profile) end opposite of the wall at the exposed vertical glass edge. Remove the U-channel 2 (bottom profile). Leave the U-channel 1 (wall profile) on the Stationary glass. Set the Stationary glass aside. Cut the U-channel 2 (bottom profile) at the mark. Slip the U-channel 2 (bottom profile) back onto the Stationary glass.
See Fig. 5 for details.

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.
