How to Install
This is a brief overview of how to install the Vero Door inside your door frame. For a more detailed guide, watch our video here on installation and trimming for smaller door frames.
After selecting which side of the frame to install the cartridge on, attach the castor to the bottom of the door handle and the top catch to the top. Then, position the cartridge in place and secure it with screws at both the top and bottom.
Next, install the bottom track.
Pro Tip: Before securing it, drill three evenly spaced fixing holes (YELLOW ARROWS) into the base of the track. For better visibility and easier drilling, remove the two brush strips first.
At this point, we advise drilling drainage holes (BLUE ARROWS) near the bottom of the inner face of the track. Larger holes are preferable, using a drill bit of up to 4.5mm diameter. This will help prevent water buildup and overflow in the bottom track
Next, install the top track.
Pro Tip: Before securing it, drill three evenly spaced fixing holes (YELLOW ARROWS) into the top of the track. For better visibility and easier drilling, remove the two brush strips first.
Next, install the magnetic door strip.
Insert the magnetic door strip into the locating posts of the bottom track, followed by the top track posts. Then, secure it to the door frame using the fixing screws.
Finally, push the screw caps onto the top and bottom of the cartridge.
Once you’re happy with the installation, apply a bead of bathroom sealant to the inside & outside edge of the cartridge and to the outside edge only of the bottom track. This method allows any water that enters the base of the cartridge—despite the drainage holes—to flow back into the shower tray from the inside.

How to Cut
This is a brief overview of how to trim the Vero Door for installing into smaller door frames. For a more detailed guide, watch our video here on installation and trimming for smaller door frames.
First, remove the cartridge cap by unscrewing the two screws.
Warning: Make sure to remove the correct cap—the one with three screws. But only remove the two screws near the edge.
Next, align the bottom of the cartridge with the bottom of the door handle and secure it with strong tape to keep it in place.
To determine the correct length (L1) for cutting the Cartridge and Magnet Track, follow these calculations:
- Identify the shortest height (H) from your measurements.
- Shortest Height = H. (H1, H2,H3)
- Example: (2148mm, 2150mm, 2151mm) = 2148mm
- Subtract 7.5mm from H (2148mm) to get L1
- H - 7.5mm = L1
- 2148mm - 7.5mm = 2140.5mm
Next, measure the distance from the opposite end of the cartridge and mark 2140.5mm (in this example).
Use a table saw with a high-quality blade designed for cutting metals, or a sturdy handsaw to trim off the excess.
To determine the correct width (L1) for cutting the Bottom & Top Tracks, follow these calculations:
- Identify the shortest width (W) from your measurements.
- Shortest Width = W. (W1, W2,W3)
- Example: (1248mm, 1250mm, 1252mm) = 1248mm
- Subtract 53mm from W (1248mm) to get L1
- W - 53mm = L1
- 1248mm - 53mm = 1195mm
Next, measure the distance from the opposite end of the cartridge and mark 1195mm (in this example).
Use a table saw with a high-quality blade designed for cutting metals, or a sturdy handsaw to trim off the excess.
