@thomasjones-yc8lf 3 года назад

Excellent! I wasn't sure if it was what your describing. There are these smaller allen bolts in back that look like they might provide finer adjustments but I think you confirmed my problem because it was fine when it was first installed (2001). Thanks!

@ExceptionalGlassLLC 3 года назад

Hi Thomas! Those smaller Allen keys hold the Hinge onto the Pivot within the plate. Loosing them may create an issue later on with knocking sounds. Tightening them will prolong the life of your Hinge. Thanks for your comment!

@MrRVRclubprez 3 года назад

This is how I have always done, as well as shimming between glass and top of hinge, so glass weight is on the hinge, and the glass can't move down. If shimmed properly, the hinges can be loose, yet the glass will not move out of adjustment. Shim the bottom hinge on top and the front so glass can't move toward wall.

@ExceptionalGlassLLC 3 года назад

Awesome! Good practice

@michaelmeyer1310 8 месяцев назад

The trick is cutting shims to fill the gaps, use the thick gaskets, and tighten the crap out of the hinges. Lock tight on the screws won’t hurt neither

I’m getting ready to to install a GW 90 deg enclosure and definitely going to do this right off the start, so thanks for tip. Also what is the recommended silicone for inside corner? Looks like water clear very expensive and not mildew resistant according to CL website. What is your recommendation? Thank you

@ExceptionalGlassLLC 3 месяца назад

Nice! I don't use water clear. I use the mildew resistant Sanitary version scs1700 from crl. Best of luck!

Thanks for posting. Been readjusting my sagging door every few months for 6 months now. 🤦‍♂️ Just ordered the shims but after installing shims it was extremely difficult to get the gasket back in with the shims in there.

@sylviaelse5086 2 года назад

The hinge at the top of the door wants to pull out, but the hinge at the bottom of the door wants to push in, so the shims would have to be positioned accordingly. Mind you, mine doesn't even have the protrusions in the hinge to shim against. The primary function of the curved cut-outs in the glass is stress relief to prevent cracking.

@ExceptionalGlassLLC 2 года назад

The primary function of the curved cutouts is a safety feature to never allow the door to completely slip out of the hinge. Not for stress relief. Glass does not expand unless under "tempering" conditions.

@Matasky2010 2 года назад

I wouldn't call it a 'mistake' to not stick spacers in that exact spot, it's not actually a requirement for a proper installation, simply an extra precaution to prevent sag over time.

@HGOMEZ1289 6 лет назад

Hi I have a question do you know why my shower door similar to this one makes a loud cracking noise from the hinge when you open it all the way like this? Thanks in advance

@ExceptionalGlassLLC 6 лет назад

Hi Hugo. Usually the recommendation is to replace a clicking hinge. But before you do, re-tighten the screws. The ones on the wall and holding glass. If it still clicks, there are 2 very small holes in the back of the hinge (when door is open). Inside are small set screws. Loosen half turn, then tighten right with a little strength. You should notice the sound either gets louder, softer or disappears entirely. If it still clicks, replace the hinge. I hope this helps and thanks for watching!

The shim stays. The hinge must be clamped to complete the installation.

To be honest, I don't know. It's some sort of Poly Plastic.

Glue is the way on the gaskets. This is problematic as pressure will be against that spacer point on the glass.

My gaskets are failing-- there are cracks along some edges and the gasket is getting 'squeezed" outside of the footprint of the hinge. I have retighten them to no success(multiple times). I got an estimate from a shower glass company who wants to charge $400 to replace the hinges OR $2000 to replace the glass and the hinges. We live in Maryland(outside of Washington DC)--- But I think the quote is on the pricey side. Should I replace the hinges(with new gaskets). Any suggestion would be appreciated.

@ExceptionalGlassLLC Год назад

I believe the $400 is fair to replace hinges and labor. If you wanted to do it yourself, you can purchase the gaskets online amzn.to/3WoGDBQ.

@MrAerialsound Год назад

@@ExceptionalGlassLLC Thanks for the link. Just curious the dimensions are 6x6x6. My hinge is 3 1/2h x 2 1/4 w.

@ExceptionalGlassLLC 2 года назад

Find the place where it squeaks. If it's on the bottom, The door may have sagged and needs to be adjusted up. If it's the rollers, take the door off, clean the roller seams and reattach. This may help. Thanks for watching!!

@Laika052 2 года назад

Great tip! My door keeps sagging out of alignment, even with brand new hinges. I feel like I'm going to be fighting this door for the rest of my life. Never thought about adding a shim in there. What material can that shim be made of? Where did you get the clear shim? Thanks!
