Integrate the stainless steel fittings

1. Before you can insert the sliding glass door, you must attach the stainless steel fitting. To do this, determine the height of the glass plate and plan a buffer of about 1-2 centimeters underneath.
2. At the corresponding height in the door opening, mark the holes for the fitting by pulling it hold on to it, align it correctly with the spirit level and then use a pencil to mark the individual openings on the wall transfer.
3. Now take the drill with a suitable drill and use it to create an opening for the dowel. If this is inserted, put on the fitting and screw in the screws. If you notice that these are too loose, switch to larger fastenings in order to maintain stability.
