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 necessary parts are included in the package(s) by checking off the components on the “Detailed Diagram of Shower Door Components”. If the unit has been damaged, has a finishing defect, or is 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. 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 will be necessary during the installation process.

5. Protect all primary surfaces of the product during installation. Never set glass down directly onto

a hard surface unless instructed. 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 to prevent damage.

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

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

preinstalled 2” × 6” wood reinforcement behind the wall. See pages 9, 10 & 11 for details.

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

conditions. Please verify that the walls are plumb and the threshold is level 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. 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.

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. This will protect the bottom edge and corners from damage which could lead to breakage.

NOTE: DO NOT attach the handle to the door glass until instructed. 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 or a professional grade glass suction cup when handling the door glass.

Single Shower Door Assembly and Installation

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

1. Attach the Hinges (05) to the Door Glass (01). Use one hinge

gasket per side. Attach the hinges centered in the notches and square with the edge of the door glass. Fully tighten the hinge bolts. (Fig 1)

UNIDOOR Single Shower Door manual Ver 2 Rev 6 02/2018

ATTENTION:

For Styles E, I, J & L that have return panels: Please check the model dimensions for proper placement of the Door Glass (01) so that the door glass 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.

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. (Fig 2)

ATTENTION:

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

TIP:

When installing the door along with panel glass, use the 72" Anti-Water strip (Inline) (19) that is packed with the panel glass as a height 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 use a Ø 1/4” drill bit to

drill holes up to the stud. Drill 1/8” pilot

holes into the stud if necessary.

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

4. Place the Door Glass (01) back onto the

threshold along with the 5/8” spacers and attach both hinges to the wall with two Countersunk screws ST5×70 (04) on the hinge from outside of the shower. Then open the door and install the remaining screws to both wall plates from the inside.

*Only use the PVC hinge spacer to correct for minor out-of-plumb wall conditions.

ATTENTION: As viewed from inside the shower, the hinge plate is very close to the drilled holes in the wall and might get scratched while installing the long screws. Be careful not to scratch the hinge surfaces during installation.

(OPTIONAL)

5. Carefully remove the hinge plates from the Hinges

(05) (Fig 5.1), remove the Door Glass (01) and

carefully set it aside. Install the remaining Countersunk screws ST5 x 70 (04) into the wall, place the Door Glass (01) (with the 5/8” bottom spacers still attached) back into position onto the Hinges (05) and re-assemble the Hinges (05). Once the door glass is secure, remove the 5/8” spacers from beneath the Door Glass (01). (Fig 5)

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.

5a. 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 (Fig 5a). Be careful not to scratch the finished surfaces of the hinge during installation.

Door Glass. (Fig 8)

ATTENTION; Prior to the next step, please be sure that the section of the wall where you need to attach the L-shaped strip (08) is clean, dry and free from soap, oil and any construction debris.

9. Hold the door in the closed position, parallel to the threshold. Place

the *L-shaped strip (08) onto the door edge. Make sure that the door glass makes good contact with the entire length of the L-shaped strip (08), and mark its location on the wall. Open the door. Remove the tape backing from the adhesive strip and firmly press the L-shaped strip (08) to the wall.

Allow 24 hours for the adhesive to fully setup before use. (Fig 9 and Fig 10)

*NOTE: The above procedure for installing the L-shaped strip (08) is for the Unidoor Style A single shower door installation only. When installing another model with additional panel glass, please refer to the separate panel installation manual located in the glass packaging for model specific instructions. The vinyl seals that apply to the panel glass are packaged with the panel glass.

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 a 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.

NOTE: To maximize the life of your door, it is important to regularly inspect the glass and other hardware for misalignment, proper attachment, and/or damage. Contact DreamLine® with any questions or concerns.

DreamLine® shower doors and enclosures are designed not to leak when installed properly and the flow of water is not pointed directly at the wallmounted hinges or vinyl seals.

NOTE: The Unidoor and Elegance hinges are factory

set to overclose 8°. The following procedure is recommended to ensure proper alignment of the panel glass and door glass.

1. Align the Door so that it is perpendicular to the wall and parallel with the outside of the threshold.

Mark a line on the threshold for reference. Open the door to allow space for the panel 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 a 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.

NOTE: To maximize the life of your door, it is important to regularly inspect the glass and all hardware for misalignment, proper attachment, and/or damage. Contact DreamLine
