How Do You Fix A Glass Shower Door

First you re going to unscrew your latch from the shower door.

How do you fix a glass shower door.

Make it by mixing some lemon water or vinegar with dish detergent and wipe your door down with it. Once this is done wipe your shower down with a magic eraser sponge. Check the gaskets to make sure that they are the correct thickness for your glass thickness. Using the end of a flathead screwdriver gently insert the end under the top part of the hinge where it meets the frame.

You may need to use a toothbrush or a paint scraper to reach the more troublesome spots. Use denatured alcohol to clean the gaskets the glass and the part of the hinge plate that will touch the gasket. Remove the doors and adjust the rollers. Remove the guide so you can take off the shower doors.

If the latch is in good condition you re going to simply want to clean and re apply the door. If it s only cracked or broken on the latch itself all you re going to have to do is take a piece from your local home improvement store to replace it. Many hinges come with two sets of gaskets one for 3 8 or 10 mm and one for 1 2 or 12 mm. Using the screwdriver remove either the guide rail that runs along the edge of the door or the plastic guide that sits in the middle of the lower track.

Put the shower doors back in place and ensure that they are rolling correctly. If the spinners don t turn clean them with a damp rag and apply a bit of spray lubricant. The final part of the cleaning process involves scrubbing the entire door. Turn the screws counterclockwise so that they are loose but do not remove them.
