Problem Sliding Shower Doors Keeps Falling Apart

Adjusting the door so that.

Problem sliding shower doors keeps falling apart.

As a good rule go ahead and tighten every screw you find even if it doesn t seem lose. The hinge can slide down over time so loosening adjusting and tightening can solve the problem. There have also been cases of shower doors on sliding tracks that shatter if the rubber bumpers are missing and the door strikes the sidetrack during operation. Turn the screws counterclockwise so that they are loose but do not remove them.

Look for screws or caps that can be popped off to reveal screws. Shower door hardware is almost always put together using screws. Over time they can become loose and the shower door needs repaired. Find the screws that connect the glass door to the frame at the hinges.

A shower door that keeps falling off the tracks will not only damage the track and door mechanism but it can present a real danger of broken glass in the shower or tub. The metal track where the rollers sit can rust gather debris develop mold and mildew problems and generally deteriorate from water damage. Like the sticking door the answer to a sagging door is to tighten the screws.
