If the door glass seems to be slipping, this can be caused by a few things:
1. If you are using Vienna Hinges with 3/8" glass, the removable pins are often a little too long. They prevent the plate from clamping down tightly on the glass. They are unecessary. Remove them.
2. If you have three hinges (and sometimes even with two), if the wall is bowed, the pivots pins of the the three hinges will not line up. So the glass has to slip in one of the hinges when it is opened. Eventually it walks on down to the curb. (We warned you about this on page 3.)
Solution: Put a little block of plastic between glass and hinge body. It will be covered by the plate and it will not allow thge glass to slip.
3. It is also possible you used the wrong gaskets (Geezze!): The thin gaskets are for thick (1/2") glass and the thick gaskets are for thin (3/8") glass. Better check.
