How do you fix a glass shower door.

If the latch is in good condition you re going to simply want to clean and re apply the door. Check the gaskets to make sure that they are the correct thickness for your glass thickness. Give it a tap with a hammer or gently separate it. If the spinners don t turn clean them with a damp rag and apply a bit of spray lubricant.

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. Using the end of a flathead screwdriver gently insert the end under the top part of the hinge where it meets the frame. Remove the guide so you can take off the shower doors. Once this is done wipe your shower down with a magic eraser sponge.

Put the shower doors back in place and ensure that they are rolling correctly. Find the screws that connect the glass door to the frame at the hinges. Use denatured alcohol to clean the gaskets the glass and the part of the hinge plate that will touch the gasket. First you re going to unscrew your latch from the shower door.

You may need to use a toothbrush or a paint scraper to reach the more troublesome spots. Look closely at the rollers spin them and see if they turn freely. Many hinges come with two sets of gaskets one for 3 8 or 10 mm and one for 1 2 or 12 mm. Turn the screws counterclockwise so that they are loose but do not remove them.
