I am trying to install a framed shower door.
Glass shower door if wall not level.
My problem is that it that the wall is out of plumb do to a poorly installed shower enclosure.
You dont have to have an oversized sleeve on the hinge size.
Stick a pencil through the jamb s screw holes to mark the wall.
If the enclosure area is new do not take any measurements until the shower is complete and the walls are finished.
Without moving the track use a 4 foot level to adjust the jamb until it s plumb.
It is 5 8 out of level.
Lower on the drain side.
The on off handle for the shower was moved to the entry area wall and the shower head is on the opposite wall.
When i place the jamb on the wall i get as much as a 3 8 inch gap between jamb and wall.
Material on the wall such as backerboard and tile can reduce the wall to wall width by as much as 1 inch on each side.
The new doors swing both in and out.
With the tub being out of level the doors do not slide properly they barely slide at all.
Fixing it this way lets you install and set up the shower door so that it opens and closes like normal.
On the side of the shower opening that will support the door hold a jamb piece against the wall so that its lower end fits into the base track.
Clear glass shower doors showcase tile and stonework in the shower and can make the small space of.
I didn t put a door at all and only small amount of water drops splash out.
I just re did my bath tub and turned it into a shower.
Both of these can be frameless.
The bottom of the glass door shows the silver trim being pulled in well tight.
Any ideas on how i can get this door installed.
And there is a lot more surface area for the glue to bind to.
