Frequently Asked Questions - UNIDOOR-X D12572-04 DreamLine

What is the ClearMax™ coating and how does it work?
ClearMax™ is a specially formulated coating applied to the glass that prevents the buildup of soap and water spots. It makes cleaning easier. The side with the ClearMax™ label must face the inside of the shower.
Can the door be installed for left-hand opening?
Yes, the UNIDOOR-X is reversible. This manual shows right-hand installation; for left-hand, begin on the opposite wall and reverse part orientation as needed.
What tools are needed for installation?
You will need: tape measure, pencil, level, Phillips screwdriver, hammer, drill, drill bits (5/16" and 1/8"), miter saw or hacksaw, metal file, and silicone (quick-drying/fast curing recommended).
How do I adjust the door if it is not closing properly?
The hinges are adjustable. Use the supplied Allen key to loosen the adjustment screws on the hinge plate, adjust the door to the desired angle (default overclose at 172°), then retighten the screws.
What is the maximum out-of-plumb adjustment?
The hinge panel glass can be adjusted up to 1/4" within the U-channel. This model does not have any adjustment for overall width.
How should I clean the glass and hardware?
Use a soft cloth or squeegee after each use. For glass, use non-abrasive sprays or cream cleaners. For hardware, avoid ammonia, bleach, or acid; clean stainless steel weekly with the grain. Never use abrasive sponges or steel wool.
What should I do if parts are missing or damaged?
Contact DreamLine customer support within 3 business days of delivery with your order number or proof of purchase. Do not install damaged or incomplete products.
Can I install this shower door on my own?
Professional installation is recommended. The unit requires drilling into the threshold and walls, and precise alignment. An assistant and glass suction cups are needed for handling heavy glass.
What is the difference between 6" and 24" hinge panel versions?
The 6" hinge panel uses a Hinge Panel Glass Bracket (#36) and is installed directly into the U-channel. The 24" hinge panel uses an L-Bracket (#35) for additional support. Both are included in the kit for the respective size.
How long should silicone cure before using the shower?
Allow 24 hours for the silicone to fully cure before exposing the installation to water.

Preparation

  1. Prior to installation, examine all boxes and packages for shipping damage and compare the piece count with your packing slip. After opening all boxes and packages read this introduction carefully. Check that all of the needed parts are included in the package by checking off the components on the "Detailed Diagram of Shower Door Components". If the unit has been damaged, has a finishing defect, or has missing parts, please contact our customer support department within 3 business days of the delivery date. Please note that DreamLine® will not replace any damaged products or missing parts free of charge after 3 business days or if the product has been installed. Feel free to contact DreamLine® if you have any questions, and please provide an order number, job name or other proof of purchase to help us identify your original order.
  2. Please note that you should consult your local building codes with questions on installation compliance standards. Building and plumbing codes may vary by location, and DreamLine® is not responsible for code compliance standards for your project and will not accept any returns.
  3. If this unit is going to be installed in a new construction, please install all of the required plumbing and drainage before installing the shower. Use a competent and licensed (if required by local code) plumber for all plumbing installation.
  4. Please make sure that prior to beginning the installation, the surfaces are leveled and solid and will be able to support the total weight of the unit. Also make sure the walls are at right angles. Irregular installation surface level, radius corners or improper angle of side walls will result in serious problems for your installation. Note that some adjustments and drilling will be necessary during the installation process.
  5. Please protect all primary surfaces of the product during installation. Never set the glass down directly onto a tile floor. Leave corner protectors in place until it is necessary to remove them. Always use a piece of wood or cardboard to protect the bottom edge and corners of the glass prior to and during installation.
  6. This unit must be installed upon a finished threshold and against finished walls.
  7. The hinge panel glass for this model should not be adjusted more than 1/4" for out-of-plumb within the U-channel. This model does NOT have any adjustment for overall width. Verify that the model size ordered will fit the finished opening before beginning installation.
  8. This model requires that you drill into the threshold for proper installation.
  9. It is recommended to install the hinge-side U-channel into a stud.
  10. This model requires minimum 5/8" of flat threshold space for installation.

Follow the same steps for installing the right-hand L-bracket. 19. Attach the Hinges (#05) to the Hinge Panel Glass (#32) with the bolts facing inside the shower. Install the hinges onto the Hinge Panel Glass (#32) flush with the edge of the glass. Use at least one 2mm hinge gasket per side. Tighten the hinge bolts evenly and snap in the decorative bolt caps. (Figs 24 and 25) ![](images/ea83528067bf69a6986be9ff991e33b1c0be0fe51b58d89a0d6f455dd148f7f8.jpg) ![](images/2a2e2ed0fb5a1c9cfcea13ce619ccab7e208d5f9e0ae25c8f3767a915fc284dc.jpg) Fig 24 NOTE: These adjustable hinges are factory set to overclose. See Page 27 for instructions regarding the adjustment features of these hinges. ![](images/9fd97c9811336ab20d947aead803adaafc289bc09d2f47d92ed59628b27ca1f8.jpg) NOTE: Do not attach the handle to the door glass until instructed. Do not attempt to lift the door glass with the handle as this may result in damage to the glass and/or serious personal injury. Use a professional grade glass suction cup and an assistant when handling heavy glass. 20. The Door Glass (#01) ships with four 5/8" spacers attached to the top (2pcs) and bottom (2pcs). These 5/8" spacers will create the proper spacing at the bottom of the door glass and will ensure the installed door height finishes at 72", but always confirm with a measurement. ![](images/0d1f7268598e3b052c5d88371e13121b73bd199b0b5428f8fb9be75c25c3ff68.jpg) ![](images/1d143d460a87c6c3532ec784a8772cef441ce74835489220b886ed7c87821ac9.jpg) ![](images/cd198843ef8bec7de4bf88b48d108f19e3ac04f6958b7c070e63712f01243bc1.jpg) Set the Door Glass (#01) with the 5/8" spacers attached onto the threshold, inline with the Hinge Panel Glass (#32). Level up the Door Glass (#01) with the Hinge Panel Glass (#32) and fasten the hinges onto the Door Glass (#01) using one 2mm hinge gasket per side. Make sure the top edges of the Door Glass (#01) and Hinge Panel Glass (#32) are aligned and that there is an even reveal between the door and panel glass. Remove the 5/8" spacers from beneath the Door Glass (#01) once the hinge panel glass is fully secured.** (Figs 24 and 25) ** NOTE: It is strongly recommended that the 5/8" shims be left beneath the door glass until the silicone securing the hinge panel glass has fully cured. ![](images/08b52f3a53b7d20bd6f8441684e6516b9cd8d896cebc5362a35efb9ef591cf55.jpg) Fig 26 ![](images/f051d6144426926f674ab5aed62fde70d37762dbb7c683b1de72b76420ab5c2a.jpg) Use the 5/8" spacers included with the door glass 21. Mount the Handle (#02) to the Glass door (#01). (Fig 26) 22. Measure the bottom of the Door Glass (#01) from side to side to determine the actual width of the door. Cut the Bottom Anti-Water Strip (#07) to the size of your measurement and notch 3/8" of the inner side of the Bottom Anti-Water Strip (#07) as shown in Fig 27.2. Press the Bottom Anti-Water Strip (#07) onto the bottom edge of the Glass Door (#01). NOTE: Make sure the Bottom Anti-Water Strip (#07) is flush to the vertical edge of the handle side of the Door Glass (#01). (Fig 27) ![](images/b0590455e9108c8684c50320bd2862763634fe0aedd4c24167b97c24fa74d61c.jpg) Fig 27 23. To install the Flanged Anti-Water Strip (#33), take three measurements: \- from the top edge of the Door Glass (#01) to the top of the center portion of the top Hinge (#06) (see Fig 28.1 for an example to use for taking all three measurements) • from the bottom of the center portion of the top Hinge to the top of the center portion of the bottom Hinge (#05) • from the bottom of the center portion of the bottom Hinge (#05) to the threshold Cut the Flanged Anti-Water Strip (#33) according to these measurements. Notch the cut strips to slide them into the hinges and around the installed Bottom Anti-Water Strip (#07) to cover the space between both glass panels. Open the door and press the cut strips onto the vertical edge of the Door Glass (#01) so they will overlap the panel glass. (Fig. 28) ![](images/a2c4a84fb366548fcb36779e737087aabdc002489b2ed3d64d3d431280c52173.jpg) Fig 28 For Style M only: If your model does not include additional panel glass, proceed to the next step to install the L-shaped Strip (#08) to the wall.

ATTENTION:

Prior to the next step, please be sure the section of the wall where you need to attach the L-shaped Strip (#08) is clean, dry, and free from soap, oil or any construction debris. 24. With the door closed, place the L-shaped Strip (#08) on the door edge and mark its location on the wall. Please note that the corner of the L-shaped Strip (#08) should face into the shower. (Fig 29.1 and 29.2) With the door open, remove the tape backing from the adhesive strip and firmly press the L-shaped Strip (#08) to the wall. Allow time for the adhesive to set before allowing the door to close against the L-shaped Strip (#08). (Fig 29)

NOTE:

The above procedure for installing the L-shaped Strip (#08) is for the Unidoor Style M shower door only. If installing another model, please refer to the separate panel glass installation manual located in the glass packaging for model specific instructions. Hinges set to overclose require the use of the L-shaped Strip (#08) or other strike vinyl that ships with the panel glass. ![](images/c613cb233ba46d1d7e3518cc3683062a120f77fa54b6c93d694fcd5ef79527d9.jpg) ![](images/d9d88707bd9f0dfee73e8a985f32b521d2cdc43f171809595080bed7496d8822.jpg) Fig 29 ![](images/6cf0f105116e910b47197518fce8274dfc80f042dd1e6b71a20babace89a3488.jpg) Fig 30 ![](images/5b08691dd3e0700b5e0b401891b4b234b1902c8e455cd3fb8e1d1fc89be22a77.jpg) 25. With the door open, apply a good quality mildew-resistant/waterproof silicone along the connection of both U-Channels to the wall and threshold on the inside of the shower. NOTE: The surface needs to be clean and free of debris before applying silicone. Let the silicone cure before closing the door to avoid contact with the Bottom anti-water strip (#33) (Fig. 31) ![](images/0b6f7ee7de4d69d6f28edc569250f22b110841b1190818e55c74483879a81c5f.jpg) Fig 31 26. Allow 24 hours for the silicone to fully cure before using the shower. ![](images/783904299000e095ad2a5005f79be156775e7c1bc05b57f0b2eb7a3d6e5e726d.jpg) ![](images/cebaf1de74de5439fc14fff1c904c6c39c95fe893774788e3e15d00611a46d02.jpg) NOTE: If your model includes additional panel glass, please find the manual for the panel glass installation in the panel glass packaging.

Installation & Adjustment

1. Make sure the door glass is plumb and the edge of the hinge is installed flush with the glass edge. Tighten the faceplate screws. (Figure 1) 2. The hinges are set to overclose at 172° degrees. You can change this angle by using the adjustment screws on the hinge plate. (Figure 2) 3. Use the supplied Allen Key to loosen the adjustment screws on the hinge plate, adjust the door to the desired angle then tighten the adjustment screws. (Figure 3) ![](images/cc81bb0624d4c313454831fa2fdba1127f881e478bf979d7265d866e73a8fe41.jpg) Figure 1 ![](images/a24127cc2049406287088eadda27a006076c5bb8abb6c20a9f6d3e076ab29476.jpg) Figure 2 ![](images/6ad7d397ff9ebd4cd5281f1e0f401b390772d0884e3f5ca0d898ffdbdb407456.jpg) Figure 3

Safe Use & Daily Maintenance

- The overclose setting requires strike vinyl for the door to close against and seal. - Use a soft cloth to clean the hinge surfaces. Do not use abrasives or acidic liquids as this will damage the finish. - Be careful not to scratch the finished surfaces of the hinge during installation.

Product Maintenance

BASES and BACKWALLS: To ensure long lasting life for your acrylic back walls: wipe them off after each use with a soft cloth. To clean the acrylic back walls use non-abrasive sprays or cream based cleaners. Avoid the use of aerosol spray cleaners. Never use abrasive cleansers, metal brushes or scrapers that could scratch or dull the surface. GLASS: To ensure long lasting life for your glass shower products: wipe them off after each use with a soft cloth. Rinse and wipe off the glass using either a soft cloth or a squeegee to prevent soap buildup and water spots (Hard water can etch the surface of the glass over time if left to dry). To prevent scratching the surface: never use abrasive cleaners or cleaning products that contain scouring agents. Never use bristle brushes or abrasive sponges that may scratch the surface. HARDWARE: To ensure a long lasting finish: wipe off the metal parts after each use with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or cleaning products containing ammonia, bleach or acid. If accidentally used, rinse the surface as soon as possible to prevent damage to the finish (peeling or corrosion). After cleaning the polished finishes, rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with soft cloth. Clean stainless steel surfaces at least once a week. When applying stainless steel cleaner or polish to stainless steel hardware, work with (not across) the grain. Never use an abrasive sponge or cloth, steel wool or wired brush as these may permanently scratch the surfaces. NOTE: To maximize the life of your door, it is important to regularly inspect the glass and other hardware for misalignment, proper attachment, and/or damage.
