The hinge should be placed in a position where the weight distribution of the whole door is equal, so that it can be connected correctly without coming out of the hinge and hitting the floor. Use a scewdriver to install the hinge into the pre-drilled hole of the frameless shower door.

Step 4 - Install the shower door handle. The shower door handle can be installed in two ways. The first is that there is a pre-drilled hole on the door, and the installation hardware is screwed up with screws. If in the case, insert some silicone into the screw to form a watertight seal before you screw the door.
The second way to use an adhesive that has been bonded to the door handle. Pull off the protective tape and stick it on the door. Once the shower door is installed, clean it well with glass cleaner.
