especially on long distances as we lift these panels into the channel just take your time and do diligence no rush at this point and allow the weight of the glass to be your friend because this weight should be enough to push the glass into the clamps and therefore securing it even without tightening it and as i noted earlier these suction handles make it extremely easy to handle these large pieces of glass even if you're by yourself and i don't suggest doing this unless you have the muscle to back it up and apparently i do oh and just note that there are markings on the glass and that should be going into the channel not fully visible to everyone that wants to walk by somehow didn't notice that one until i installed the glass as for hardware we have a panel to wall bracket we have a panel to panel straight bracket as well as a panel to panel corner bracket now i decide to install my panel to panel corner bracket first because i want to make sure these panels are perfectly aligned exactly where i want them before i start tightening the glass clamps now the glass clamps do allow for correction and adjustments but i figure getting these panels aligned first with these brackets will make the tightening process a lot easier because i know everything is exactly where i want it up front at this point in time i can take my skinny open-ended wrench and start tightening the bolts away like i said all it is is a nice quick easy turn a couple times one thing you do need to keep in mind especially when you're cutting this base rail is the fact that the base reel does have two different profiles on the inside there's an oval side as well as a flat side the oval side should always be facing the sterile or your open-ended area and the flat side should be your access point because it's going to be a lot easier to get to those bolts if you're on a flat grounded surface versus in a stairwell
