Setup and Installation
Installation of the DELAVIN shower door requires careful measurement and attention to detail. It is recommended that at least two people are involved in the installation process due to the weight and size of the glass panels.
Key Installation Steps:
- Unpack and Verify Components: Ensure all accessories are consistent with the instruction manual.
- Measure and Mark: Accurately measure your shower opening. Mark the positions for the upper guide rail brackets and bottom guide block on the wall and shower floor. Drilling into tile will be necessary.
- Install Guide Rail Brackets: Secure the guide rail brackets to the wall using the provided screws.
- Install Upper Guide Rail: Insert the upper guide rail into the installed brackets.
- Assemble Rollers on Door Glass: Attach the rollers to the two glass door panels.
- Hang Glass Door Assembly: Carefully hang the assembled glass doors onto the upper rail.
- Position Bottom Guide: Slide the bottom edge of the glass door into the groove of the bottom guide. Ensure the door glass is vertical and the bottom guides are centered. Mark the locations for the bottom guide.
- Secure Bottom Guide: Drill and apply silicone to the marked holes, then insert wall anchors and fix the bottom guide block to the floor.
- Install Water Retaining Strips: Install the four water retaining strips on the door glass. The middle strip with the water retaining edge can be cut to fit.
- Adjust and Tighten: Adjust the rollers and anti-jumping knobs for smooth operation. Install the roller cover and tighten the guide rail bracket cover.
- Assemble Door Handles: Attach the rectangular door handles to the glass panels.
Important Note: When installing the rollers, ensure they are tightened securely on the glass to prevent the glass door from falling.

Operating Instructions
The DELAVIN Double Sliding Shower Door is designed for effortless operation. Both glass panels can slide smoothly, allowing access from either the left or right side of the shower opening.
- Opening the Door: Gently push the desired glass panel in the direction of opening. The smooth rollers ensure minimal effort.
- Closing the Door: Pull the glass panel until it meets the fixed panel or the wall, ensuring the water seal strips are properly engaged to prevent leaks.
- Safety Features: The tempered glass is shatterproof, meaning if it breaks, it will shatter into small, blunt pieces rather than sharp shards, reducing the risk of injury. The rubber stops prevent the doors from slamming into the wall or adjacent glass.

Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your DELAVIN shower door.
- Glass Cleaning: Clean the tempered glass panels regularly with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that could scratch the glass or damage the explosion-proof film.
- Hardware Cleaning: Wipe down the aluminum and stainless steel components with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn spots, use a mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that can damage the matte black finish or cause rust.
- Roller and Track Maintenance: Periodically inspect the rollers and top rail for any debris or buildup. Clean the tracks to ensure smooth and noiseless sliding. Lubricate rollers if necessary with a silicone-based lubricant.
- Seal Strip Inspection: Check the water seal strips for any signs of wear or damage. Replace them if they appear cracked or ineffective to maintain the waterproof integrity of the shower.

Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your shower door.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Door not sliding smoothly | Debris in track, loose rollers, worn rollers. | Clean the track, tighten roller screws, or replace worn rollers. |
| Water leaking from door edges | Damaged or misaligned water seal strips, improper installation of anti-splash threshold. | Inspect and adjust/replace seal strips. Ensure anti-splash threshold is correctly installed and sealed with silicone. |
| Door feels wobbly or unstable | Loose guide rail brackets, rollers not properly tightened. | Check and tighten all mounting screws for guide rail brackets and rollers. |
Customer-reported issues and solutions:
Some users have reported issues with water leakage due to uneven walls or gaps. While the product is designed to be waterproof, ensuring perfectly level vertical walls is crucial for optimal performance. If walls are out of plumb, additional sealing with silicone may be required.
Another common feedback relates to the instructions not specifying drill bit sizes for tile. For tile drilling, a 5/16 masonry drill bit is often recommended. Always ensure you use appropriate tools and techniques for your specific wall material.
Some users also noted that the bottom door guide must be positioned initially to ensure the doors are correctly aligned on your threshold or stall opening prior to drilling holes for the upper support brackets. It is advised to lay out all components first to confirm alignment before drilling.
The door rollers have covers that need to be turned, which might not be explicitly clear in all instruction versions. Ensure these are correctly adjusted for smooth operation.
The bottom threshold dam brackets' hole opening might line up at the edge of the dam. Careful measurement and pre-positioning are key.
