| Q.How do I open a handicap door in case of an emergency? | ^TOP | |

| Q.On SH700 shower bases, how can you tell the difference between the front and back? | ^TOP | |
| A.When you're installing the base of our standard square SH700 shower cabinets, the flange with a notch in it should be located in the front of the shower unit. | ||
| Q.Plywood Core? What does it look like? When would I use it? | ^TOP | |
| A.From the exterior, plywood core doesn't look any different because it's installed within the cavity of the material. Plywood core is used when a much stronger material is needed for greater structural stability and to withstand harder "wear and tear". This option is available on all of our Powder Shield, Stainless Steel and Plastic Laminate products. Feel free to contact us or your local Metpar distributor for more information and help. | ||
| Q.What are those little circles on the layout drawings? What does it mean by "P1", "H-2", "S1L", etc.? | ^TOP | |
| A.The small circles on the drawings indicate the hardware to be used in that location. For example a "P1" represents a panel bracket with 1 ear. For more detailed instructions on our hardware, visit our Installation Guide web page. | ||
| Q.What is a Multi-Cam® Hinge? | ^TOP | |
| A.This is a full height stainless steel hinge used primarily for "heavy duty" construction. To learn more about this unique hinge, or to read the specifications/details, click here! | ||
| Q.What is an "In-Use Indicator" on the door slide latch? | ^TOP | |
| A.The small circle on the outside of the stall door will show red if the door is locked and being used. On the other hand... it will show green if the latch is not engaged and the door is open. | ||
| Q.What is Solid Phenolic? | ^TOP | |
| A.Solid Phenolic, technically speaking, is a melamine surface produced with resin impregnated materials compressed together resulting in a solid, dense, water resistant product. Phenolic is made by the same companies that manufacture the plastic laminate materials. But, unlike plastic laminated partitions which are made up of a particle board core and the plastic sheets of material laminated all around it, phenolic partitions are a solid core material that will not separate when exposed to water making this an ideal product for shower areas. | ||
