Glass Shower Door Hard To Close

4 slide shims into the space between the 2x4 block and door.

Glass shower door hard to close.

Protect the shower or tub from scratches with a drop cloth. If the installer used the thinner set for 3 8 thick glass the most common thickness then the glass will probably slip in the hinge at some point since the hinge plate can t be clamped down tight enough. Tap up on door corner drive in the shims. 5 hold a wood block against bottom corner of door and tap upward with hammer.

Unscrew the guide at the lower edge of the sliding door. 3 open the shower door and stand a 2x4 block underneath its outer bottom corner. Turn the screws counterclockwise so that they are loose but do not remove them. Adjust the frame of the door by loosening all of the frame screws including the handle screws.

Shim the door edge using a two by four and wood shims. 8 tighten all the doorframe screws and handle screws. Like the sticking door the answer to a sagging door is to tighten the screws. 6 drive shims in tight to prevent door from sagging back down.

Many hinges come with two sets of gaskets one for 3 8 or 10 mm and one for 1 2 or 12 mm. Then tap the outer edge of the door from. If the sliding doors on your shower or bathtub don t glide smoothly repair them soon. A door that drags on the lower track will eventually do permanent damage to both the door and the track.

The hinge can slide down over time so loosening adjusting and tightening can solve the problem.
