Components Checklist:
- Glass door panel (8mm ESG safety glass)

Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Opening: Ensure the wall surface where the rail will be mounted is clean, level, and structurally sound.
- Mount the Running Rail: Secure the aluminum running rail to the wall using the provided mounting hardware. Ensure it is perfectly level. The rail carries the sliding door.
- Install the Door Rollers: Attach the rollers to the top edge of the glass door panel. These rollers will slide within the running rail.
- Hang the Door Panel: Carefully lift and hang the glass door panel onto the running rail. Ensure the rollers are properly seated in the rail.
- Install the Floor Guide: Mount the floor guide pin to the floor directly beneath the door's path. This guide prevents the door from swinging or moving laterally.
- Attach the Handle: Install the round handle onto the glass door panel.
- Adjust Door Stoppers: Position the door stoppers within the rail to define the open and closed positions of the door, preventing it from hitting the wall or frame.
- Test Operation: Gently slide the door back and forth to ensure smooth and quiet operation. Verify that the door stoppers function correctly.

Operating Instructions
The Schulte sliding glass door is designed for simple and intuitive operation.
- To open the door, grasp the round handle and gently slide the door along the rail until it reaches the desired open position or the door stopper.
- To close the door, grasp the handle and slide the door back along the rail until it reaches the closed position against the door stopper.
- The door can be opened from either the left or right side, depending on your installation preference.
- Avoid forcing the door if it encounters resistance. Check for any obstructions in the rail or floor guide.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and smooth operation of your sliding glass door.
- Cleaning the Glass: Use a soft cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner to clean the glass panel. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch the glass or damage the opaque decor.
- Cleaning the Rail and Rollers: Periodically wipe down the aluminum running rail and the rollers with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. This helps maintain smooth operation.
- Lubrication: The ball bearings in the rollers are maintenance-free and generally do not require lubrication. If you notice any squeaking or stiffness, consult a professional.
- Hardware Check: Occasionally check all screws and mounting hardware to ensure they are tight. Retighten if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Below are common issues and their potential solutions.
- Door is difficult to slide:
- Check the running rail for obstructions (dust, debris). Clean the rail thoroughly.
- Inspect the rollers for any damage or foreign objects.
- Ensure the rail is level. An unlevel rail can cause resistance.
- Door makes noise when sliding:
- Clean the running rail and rollers.
- Verify that the floor guide is clean and not causing friction.
- Door swings at the bottom:
- Ensure the floor guide pin is properly installed and aligned with the door.
- Check if the floor guide is damaged or loose.
- Door does not close completely:
- Check the position of the door stoppers on the rail. Adjust them if necessary.
- Ensure there are no obstructions preventing full closure.
