The hinge assemblies are preset to overclose 5° beyond the normal closing
position to create a tight seal against the strike vinyl. While it is not
necessary to adjust the hinges, the adjustment feature on the hinge
assemblies can be used to change the closing angle of the door only. Make
any hinge adjustments prior to installing the Strike Vinyl. Both Hinge
Assemblies must be adjusted at the same time and to the same angle. Do
not attempt to adjust the hinges separately or before they are installed.
The Adjustable Hinge Assemblies are
factory pre-set to overclose to 130° to
create a tight seal with the Strike Vinyl.

If strike vinyl is not used, the hinges
can be adjusted to close to a different
angle (135° for example).
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 permanently 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 of the
glass.
HARDWARE: To ensure a long lasting finish: wipe off all 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 a soft clean
cloth.
Clean stainless steel surfaces at least once a week. When applying stainless steel cleaner or polish
to stainless steel hardware, work with the grain (not across the grain). Never use an abrasive
sponge or cloth, steel wool or wired brush as these may permanently scratch the surfaces.
