Claim:
A vertical alignment device between a downwardly extending upper spindle on an upper mounting plate of an upper pivot assembly in a head jamb and an upwardly extending lower spindle on a lower mounting plate of a lower pivot assembly on a floor for a glass door structure, comprising: a) a body; b) means for attaching in a removable manner an upper portion of said body to the upper spindle; c) a plumb line; d) a plumb bob affixed to a first end of said plumb line; and e) means for securing a second end of said plumb line to a lower portion of said body, so that said plumb bob will hang down on said plumb line to indicate an aligned location for the lower spindle when the lower mounting plate is bolted up on the floor, thereby allowing the glass door structure to operate properly in a swinging manner, wherein said securing means includes: a) said body having an orifice extending into said lower portion; b) a bushing having a central opening there through, said bushing sized to fit into said orifice in said lower portion, wherein said second end of said plumb line is attached to said bushing through said central opening; and c) a setscrew transversely threaded through said lower portion of said body and into said orifice, so that when said setscrew is tightened, said bushing will be held in place within said orifice.
