4. Setup (Installation)

Installation of the CKB Pivot Bathtub Shower Door requires careful attention to detail. It is recommended that two people perform the installation. A complete set of shower door components is included. Please ensure all parts are present before beginning.

General Installation Steps:

Preparation: Clear the installation area. Ensure the bathtub and surrounding walls are clean and level.
Measure and Mark: Carefully measure and mark the wall for the mounting profiles according to the provided template (if included) and product dimensions. Account for the 1/2 inch out-of-plumb adjustment per wall if necessary.
Install Wall Profiles: Secure the aluminum wall profiles to the wall using appropriate fasteners for your wall type. Ensure they are plumb and securely anchored.
Assemble Door Panels: Attach the hinge mechanisms to the glass panels as per the detailed instructions in the separate installation guide (typically included in the product packaging).
Mount Door to Wall Profile: Carefully lift and attach the assembled door panels to the installed wall profile. The reversible design allows for left or right-hand opening.
Install Sealing Strips: Apply the transparent sealing strips along the bottom edge of the door and where the door meets the wall profile to ensure a watertight seal.
Final Adjustments: Test the door's operation, ensuring it opens and closes smoothly. Make any necessary adjustments to the wall profiles or hinges to achieve proper alignment and sealing.

Note: If your bathtub has curved edges along the wall, minor adjustments or trimming of sealing components may be required to achieve a proper fit and prevent gaps.

5. Operating Instructions

The CKB Pivot Bathtub Shower Door is designed for ease of use and flexibility.

Opening and Closing:

To open the door, gently push or pull the panel. The 180-degree rotation allows the door to swing inward or outward.
For maximum space, the door features a 180-degree full folding capability. This allows the panels to fold completely against each other, creating a wide opening for access to the tub or for bathing children/pets.
The integrated rise and fall mechanism will slightly lift the door during opening and lower it upon closing, ensuring smooth movement and preventing the bottom seal from dragging.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular maintenance will preserve the appearance and functionality of your shower door.

Glass Cleaning:

Thanks to the easy-clean coating, simply wipe down the glass panels with a soft cloth or squeegee after each use to prevent water spots and soap scum buildup.
For deeper cleaning, use a mild, non-abrasive glass cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or scouring powders, as these can damage the coating and glass surface.

Frame and Hardware Cleaning:

Clean the anodized aluminum frame and hardware with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or acidic/alkaline cleaning agents, as these can corrode or discolor the finish.

Seal Maintenance:

Periodically inspect the transparent sealing strips for wear or damage. Replace them if they become brittle or lose their effectiveness to maintain a watertight seal.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your CKB Pivot Bathtub Shower Door, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

Water Leakage:
- Ensure all sealing strips are properly installed and are not damaged.
- Verify that the wall profiles are securely mounted and sealed with silicone caulk where they meet the wall and tub.
- Check for proper alignment of the door panels when closed. Adjust if necessary.
Door Does Not Close/Open Smoothly:
- Inspect the hinges for any obstructions or debris.
- Ensure the rise and fall mechanism is clean and operating freely.
- Check if the door panels are plumb and level. Adjust the wall profiles or hinges as needed.
Gaps Between Door and Tub/Wall:
- Confirm that the wall profiles are installed correctly and that the out-of-plumb adjustment has been utilized if walls are not perfectly vertical.
- If the tub edge is curved, ensure any necessary trimming of the bottom sealing strip was performed for a snug fit.
