Many hinges come with two sets of gaskets one for 3 8 or 10 mm and one for 1 2 or 12 mm.

How do you fix a glass shower door.

First you re going to unscrew your latch from the shower door. Check the gaskets to make sure that they are the correct thickness for your glass thickness. Once this is done wipe your shower down with a magic eraser sponge. The final part of the cleaning process involves scrubbing the entire door.

Use denatured alcohol to clean the gaskets the glass and the part of the hinge plate that will touch the gasket. Find the screws that connect the glass door to the frame at the hinges. Remove the doors and adjust the rollers. 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.

Look closely at the rollers spin them and see if they turn freely. You may need to use a toothbrush or a paint scraper to reach the more troublesome spots. Make it by mixing some lemon water or vinegar with dish detergent and wipe your door down with it. Using the end of a flathead screwdriver gently insert the end under the top part of the hinge where it meets the frame.

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. Turn the screws counterclockwise so that they are loose but do not remove them. Put the shower doors back in place and ensure that they are rolling correctly. Remove the guide so you can take off the shower doors.
