Signature Pivot Door

Curb To Wall Block Installation Instructions

  • Install the pivot base on the glass center-line.

    If the wall slopes out, the base plate will need to move closer to the wall in order to align with the upper pivot in the pivot wall block. If the wall slopes in, the base plate must move away from the wall.

  • To locate the wall block vertical position, hold the entire door glass/pivot channels/wall block assembly in place in the closed position on the pivot base plate. With a 1/8" spacer between the upper channel and the top socket, mark the top of the wall block mount on the wall.
  • Transfer the wall block mount hole positions to the wall.
  • To determine whether there is a stud backing, drill a 3/32" diameter hole in one screw location. If there is a stud backing, 3/32" diameter holes are sufficient. If there is no stud backing, drill 7/32" diameter holes and use the screw anchors supplied.
  • Using three #8 x 2 1/2" long screws, fasten the wall block mount to the wall on the glass center-line with the top level.

    Depending on the composition of the wall and backing, the installer must determine whether the 2 1/2" screws will secure to a stud or require a screw anchor.

  • With the pivot wall block in place on the upper channel, the door assembly can be slid in place under the wall block mount and secured with the flat head screws provided. The wall block must be pushed tight to the wall.
