Understanding Self-Closing Brass Hinges
The self-closing solid brass hinges on this shower door operate much like a high-end cabinet door closure, utilizing a precision 5 degree offset mechanism. Instead of relying purely on manual positioning, the internal geometry of the hinge gently pulls the heavy glass door into its final closed position during the last few degrees of travel. This ensures a consistent, secure seal against water containment without requiring excessive force, protecting the 3/8 inch tempered glass from abrupt impacts while delivering smooth, reliable performance every day.

Verify that your finished shower opening measures between 54 and 55 inches before beginning installation.
Ensure walls are plumb and structural support is available for the solid brass wall-mounted hinges.
Assemble the integrated glass shelves securely according to the included instructions prior to final door hanging.
Test the 5 degree offset hinge swing to confirm smooth operation and proper alignment.
Care & Maintenance
