Drill
Screws
Caulk gun

Prepare the Doorway

The first step is to prepare the doorway for the new door. This involves removing any old doors or trim, and making sure that the doorway is level and square. To level the doorway, use a level and make any necessary adjustments to the framing.

Install the Header Track

Once the doorway is prepared, you can begin installing the door. The first step is to install the header track, which is the track that the door will slide on. To install the header track, hold it in place at the top of the doorway and level it using a level. Then, mark the location of the screw holes and drill pilot holes. Finally, drive the screws into the pilot holes to secure the header track.

Attach the Door Panels

The next step is to attach the door panels to the header track. To do this, lift the door panels into place and slide them into the header track. Once the door panels are in place, tighten the screws to secure them.

Install the Bottom Track

The final step is to install the bottom track. To do this, place the bottom track on the floor and level it. Then, mark the location of the screw holes and drill pilot holes. Finally, drive the screws into the pilot holes to secure the bottom track.

Caulk the Door

Once the door is installed, you can caulk the edges to prevent water from leaking out of the bathtub. To caulk the door, apply a bead of caulk around the edges of the door frame and smooth it out with your finger.
