4. Installation Instructions
Follow these steps for proper installation of your TopRay Shower Door Rollers. It is recommended to have assistance when handling heavy glass doors.
- Remove Doors: Carefully remove both shower doors from their tracks and lay them on a flat, protected surface with the curved side facing up.
- Clean Tracks: Remove any existing rollers or hardware. Thoroughly clean the shower tracks and any parts of the shower stall where the rollers will be installed. Ensure no debris or old lubricant remains.
- Install New Rollers: Place the new rollers near the old ones (if replacing) or the designated mounting points. Install the new parts one at a time. The rollers with the tension buttons (spring-loaded mechanism) typically go on the bottom of the door. The rollers with the screw tension adjustment go on the top.
- Adjust Rollers: When fitting the doors back, adjust the top wheels using the screw on the outside of the door stand. This adjustment raises or lowers the door slightly, allowing the bottom wheels to properly grip the track.
- Reinstall Doors: Carefully lift and reinstall the shower doors into the shower stall tracks. Ensure they glide smoothly.
