Glass shower doors are generally considered a more elegant substitute for a regular shower curtain, and when installed correctly, they are much more effective at keeping water off the floor. However, unlike a shower curtain, they may need some maintenance to keep them hanging and sliding properly. Adjustments are do-able, but you will need some do-it-yourself experience and an extra pair of hands to get the job done right.

1

Determine the need for adjustment. Many times, the door rollers will come off the upper track. Look at the rollers from inside of the shower. If the rollers are off track, lift the ends of the shower door and reseat the rollers. When they are back on track, spray the rollers with a lubricant for easier traverse when sliding the door back and forth.

Slide the door back and forth. If the door moves haltingly or grinds on the lower rail as it is being opened or closed, yet the rollers are clearly on upper track, the rollers need adjusting. Remove the lower guide rail with a screwdriver. This will enable you to remove the door from the track by lifting it out. Place it on the floor.

3

Inspect the rollers. If they are flat spotted, broken or warped, they need to be replaced. Rollers come in two types: flat edges or round edges. If they are going to replaced, the same type must be used. They are available at hardware stores.

4

Replace or adjust the rollers in the same way. The rollers are attached to the upper shower door with a screw. They ride along a slanted adjustment slot that will raise and/or lower the wheel. Remove the screw and attach another wheel, or loosen the screw and slide the wheel. To raise the door, slide the loosened wheel down into the slot. To lower the door, slide the loosened wheel up into the slot. When in place, tighten the screw.

5

Replace the door into the upper track and see that it slides smoothly. If it doesn't, repeat the adjustment procedure. This is a trial-and-error task that may take several adjustments before the door slides smoothly and cleanly along the track.

6

Complete the adjustment and wipe down the track with a damp rag. Spray the roller wheels with a spray lubricant and reattach the lower rail.

Things You Will Need

• Screwdriver
• Spray lubricant
• New guide wheels
• Damp rag

Warning

• Hanging glass shower doors are heavy. If you have difficulty lifting them off the track by yourself, either call in a helper or get a professional to do the job for you.

Measuring and cutting the tracksThe top and bottom tracks supplied by the manufacturer must be cut slightly shorter than the width of the your shower’s opening. As always, read the manufacturer’s installation instructions carefully before you do anything, and then follow these steps:.Use a measuring tape to find the distance from wall to wall along the top edge of the shower base (or tub) and, for the top track, at 6 feet above it.Follow the manufacturer’s directions and subtract the required amount for each track from the total width of the opening.Cut both tracks to length and smooth any rough edges at the cut end with a fine file.Use a hacksaw and a miter box to ensure a square cut. Putting a block of scrap wood in the track and clamping helps keep the track square and in place while you cut it.

Locating the bottom trackYou install the bottom track on the top edge of the shower base or tub.Place the bottom track on the flattest part of the shower base or tub ledge, following the manufacturer’s instructions to determine which side of the track faces out.Make sure that the space between the wall and the ends of the track is the same on both ends.Temporarily secure the track to the ledge with masking tape.Make a light pencil mark on the shower base of tub along the front edge of the track to guide caulk application. Locating the wall jambsThe wall jambs are fastened to the sidewalls and support the top track. Ideally, you screw the wall jambs directly to the studs.

You can also use sturdy metal anchors to secure the jambs.Place a wall jamb against the wall and push it down over the end of the bottom track so that it’s fully engaged with the track.Hold a carpenter’s level next to the wall jamb and adjust it to plumb.Mark in each mounting-hole location.Remove the wall jamb and drill the holes for the mounting screws or wall anchors. If you’re drilling into ceramic tile, use a carbide-tipped masonry drill bit.Repeat the drilling in the opposite wall for the other wall jamb.Install wall anchors according to instructions where there is no stud available.Caulking the bottom trackLift the bottom track and apply a bead of silicone caulk into the groove on the underside.

Then erase your pencil marks and reposition the bottom track in its proper place. Installing the wall jambsWork on one wall jamb at a time and follow these steps.Place one wall jamb into or over the bottom track, depending on the design. Then align the holes in the wall jamb with the holes or screw anchors in the wall.Secure the jamb with the screws supplied by the manufacturer or the anchor.Sliding door kits should include rubber bumpers.

Install them over the screws at the top and bottom of the jamb.Repeat the installation on the other jamb.Installing sliding doorsSliding doors hang from the top track so install it over the wall jambs as directed by the manufacturer. Prepare the doors by installing roller and, if applicable, handle/towel bar hardware. Place the rollers on the top frame flange of both door panels and secure them with lock washers and machine screws.

Hanging the door panelsInstalling the door panels is easiest from outside the shower. Follow the installation instructions provided, as details may vary, but the following steps are typical:.Install the inside panel first. Lift it up inside the top track and bring it back to vertical as you hang the rollers on the inside rail of the top track and lower it into the bottom track.Install the outside panel by lifting it up inside the top track and hanging the rollers on the outside rail of the top track.
