How to Adjust Glass Shower Door Hinges for a Perfect Fit

Adjusting the hinges on a glass shower door is essential for ensuring a proper fit and preventing leaks. Follow these steps to make necessary adjustments:

  1. Remove the Door
    Carefully loosen the screws securing the door to the hinges and detach it. Keep all screws and hardware in a safe place to avoid losing them.

  2. Locate the Adjustment Screws
    These screws are typically found on the side of the hinge attached to the shower frame.

  3. Adjust the Door Height

    • To raise the door, turn the adjustment screw clockwise using a screwdriver.
    • To lower the door, turn the screw counterclockwise.
    • Make small, incremental adjustments and check the door’s position after each turn.
  4. Ensure Proper Alignment
    Use a level to confirm that the door is both plumb (vertically aligned) and level (horizontally aligned). Make further adjustments as needed.

  5. Reattach the Door
    Once the alignment is correct, securely tighten the screws to reattach the door to the shower frame.

  6. Test the Door
    Open and close the door to ensure smooth movement and check for any gaps or leaks.
