Glass shower door will not close. My sliding shower door will not stay closed. One side is stable does not move. Test the door to see if it opens and closes. Lee is a true craftsman and the go to guy when i can.

The clamps are usually tightened to the glass with phillips head screwdrivers. Both doors drift back open about 1 5 to 1 75 instead of staying flush with door frame.

While one fracture may not seem like a fatal blow over days or even hours these seemingly small fractures can grow causing your shower door to spontaneously shatter.

Unless it s properly planned and designed a doorless shower can end up spraying water outside of the shower area which means towelling it up after every shower. To fix take off the sweep use a small wedge under the doors outer bottom edge loosen the 2 screws clamping the upper hinge use the wedge and slowly lift the door and push it a bit farther under then tighten the screws. Can this be a simple adj.

Open the door slightly and place wedges under it so the weight is supported. If that holds the door enough then epoxy then that way. Shower doors do not always break because of fractures though the door could be installed incorrectly or a simple piece of hardware could be missing causing the door to fall off or causing a small fracture due to misuse.
