• Temporarily tape the Sill (CST 900S) to shower curb, ensuring it does not move while taking your measurements. • Place Wall Jambs (CST 903 & CST 965) against shower walls, on the same side you’ve chosen to place the hinge. You’ll see Right versus Left Configurations below. • Use your pencil or felt tip pen to mark hole locations on shower walls. There are three holes per jamb. Always double-check your measurements and marks before continuing with installation. • Drill holes at a 90-degree angle using the 3/16” bit. • Insert plastic Screw Anchors and secure jambs to walls using the 1-1/4” Installation Screws (6-8114 1329).

RIGHT-SIDE CONFIGURATION
IMPORTANT: All Coastal Shower Doors are pre-assembled for left-side configuration. To convert to right- side configuration, follow the steps below:
You’ll notice two holes just above the top and bottom hinge pins. These are pre-cut for right-side door configurations.
To convert your door to a right-side configuration, remove the screws from the pins, then install them into the other holes. This will cause your door to stick up 5/8” at the top. Simply rotate your door 180 degrees, as if you were correcting an upside-down photograph, with the hinge on the right side.
Your door should now open to the exterior of the shower enclosure, completing the right-side configuration.

OVERHEAD VIEW (WITH NOMINAL OPENING) IMPORTANT: The panel can go anywhere from 1/4” to 1-1/8” inside the Wall Jamb (CST 965). You’ll need to check measurements for your Wall Jamb (CST 903) on the door side, and the gap needed between the door panel and stationary panel (where the door closes), to know how far into the Wall Jamb (CST 965) you should slide the stationary glass. You can see how the door closes on page 9.
