Tips on How to Choose the Best Shower Door Replacement Parts
Even though shower doors are built to withstand water, the parts on the door will often corrode, calcify or on some rare occasions simply rust. This means finding shower door replacement parts will often mean calling the original manufacturer or visiting the store where you bought the door from.
Often, you may not have much choice which parts you use, unless you are altering the door, although should the glass need replacing, this can sometimes be customized to fit your needs. Some companies specialize in this, so you should contact them to find out whether or not a new glass door can be installed into the existing frame.
For the most common replacement parts, you will probably not get to choose which options you can use. The manufacturer of the door will sell the likes of gliders, hardware, and other such items that will specifically fit your shower door. Other items, even if they are very similar, will often not fit or work properly. You could be lucky and find such items at your local home improvement store, or by contacting the retailer or provider that sold you the shower door. When they do not have the parts, then the original manufacturer will be your only option.
When the shower door replacement parts involve the actual body or glass part of your door, this could be more customizable than the hardware. You could have the option to create a new glass door that will coordinate with your pre-existing door frame.
Some companies specialize in making custom shower enclosures, which means they will have a wide selection of glass samples to show you. And, if you are unable, ask them if they will also insert the new glass into your old frame. This is not much cheaper than buying a new door, and, on occasion, could be more expensive as you will have to get the glass custom-fitted to the size of your frame.
