Shower Door Needs Adjustment

A quick adjustment of shower door level when it won t close.

Shower door needs adjustment.

If your shower has a level adjustment bar like this one you will want to watch this first. Many times the door rollers will come off the upper track. Replace the shower door and tighten the newly cleaned screws. If you need to lower the door move the hinge down to adjust the shower door to the right height.

This should fix most of the hinged door issues. Learn the steps needed to fix it and get it running smoothly again. Look at the rollers from inside of the shower. Since they do not have a frame the track or hinges must be attached directly to the glass or at least appear to be.

Actually the hardware usually clamps the door when you tighten the screws and a rubber gasket between the hardware and the door prevents damage. If you need to lift or lower your hinged shower door you can move the rollers in the top to allow the door to swing higher into the opening. If you notice leaks at the sides or bottom of the door there s a good chance the door is out of alignment. A dragging shower or bathtub door can permanently damage both the door and the track if ignored for too long.

Frameless glass shower doors can hang from an overhead track or from side hinges. Protect the shower or tub from scratches with a drop cloth.
