The scenario
What buyers run into
The fitting has to carry the door's weight for years, and the hinge is machined for one glass thickness — the wrong choice shows up later as a door that sags, will not close or leaks.
How to specify this scenario
Settle the glass thickness first, then the door type (glass-to-wall or glass-to-glass), then the closing angle (90°, 135° or 180°) and whether hydraulic soft-close is wanted. Send the panel size, the hole centres you are working to, and the quantity for each model.
Typical configuration
The parts this scenario is usually built from
- Shower hinges
- Carry the door; quantity depends on door width and weight.
- Door handle or knob
- Back-to-back or single-sided.
- Glass clamps
- Where a fixed panel is clamped rather than hinged.
Load and safety
The fitting is machined for one glass thickness and cannot be adapted afterwards. Most doors and larger panels need two people to hold the panel while the hinges are set.
Installation notes
Work from the drawing that comes with the model you ordered, not from the fitting that came off. Set the panel, check that the door swings freely, then tighten to the point where it holds.
Common mistakes
Drilling to the dimensions of an older model.
Hole positions change between models, so the fitting may not line up.
How to avoid: Work from the drawing supplied with the model you ordered.
Fixing hardware ordered for a different glass thickness.
The fitting is machined for one thickness and cannot be adapted.
How to avoid: Check the parts against the glass before drilling.
Tightening everything hard before the panel is aligned.
The door will not swing freely.
How to avoid: Set the panel, check the swing, then tighten to the point where it holds.
