- Install Handles: Attach the handles to the pre-drilled holes on the sliding glass panels. Secure them firmly but do not overtighten. (Refer to video: 3:10-3:27)
- Install Bottom Guide Rail:
- Measure and cut the bottom guide rail if necessary to fit the shower base. (Refer to video: 3:28-3:33)
- Apply a continuous bead of silicone sealant to the bottom of the guide rail.
- Place the guide rail on the shower base, ensuring it aligns correctly with the glass panels. (Refer to video: 3:37-3:43)
- Apply Silicone Sealant: Apply a continuous, even bead of mildew-resistant silicone sealant along all exterior seams where the glass panels meet the walls and the shower base.

Operating Instructions
Your Clovis Frameless Double Sliding Shower Door is designed for smooth and quiet operation.
- To open or close the shower door, grasp the handle firmly and gently slide the glass panel along the top track.
- The integrated buffer system ensures a soft and controlled closing action, minimizing noise and preventing abrupt impacts.
- Avoid forcing the door or slamming it shut, as this can cause damage to the rollers or glass.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your shower door.
- Cleaning Glass: Use a soft cloth or sponge with a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or scouring powders, as these can scratch the glass or damage protective coatings. For best results, clean regularly to prevent hard water spots.
- Cleaning Hardware: Wipe down metal components with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn spots, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for brushed nickel finishes.
- Roller System: Periodically inspect the roller disk system and top track for any accumulation of soap scum or debris. Clean with a soft brush and mild soap solution to ensure smooth sliding.
- Sealing Strips: Check the sealing strips along the edges of the glass panels for wear, tear, or discoloration. Replace them if they appear damaged or are no longer effectively preventing water leakage.
- Fasteners: Occasionally check all screws and fasteners for tightness. Retighten if necessary, but be careful not to overtighten, especially those connected to glass.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your shower door, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Door not sliding smoothly | Debris in track, loose rollers, unlevel track | Clean the top track and rollers. Check and tighten roller screws. Verify the top track is level and adjust if necessary. |
| Water leakage | Damaged or improperly sealed strips, gaps in silicone sealant, unlevel shower base | Inspect all sealing strips and replace if damaged. Reapply silicone sealant to any gaps. Ensure the bottom guide rail is properly sealed. |
| Glass panel misalignment | Improperly installed top track or wall brackets, loose rollers | Verify the top track and wall brackets are level and securely installed. Adjust the roller system for proper alignment. |
