They got rid of this show and all others like it because it showed people how to do what the "PRO'S" do and save money. And the PRO'S didn't like that. This is a great video and really informative.
Excellent! A couple of notations. 1. You can use the shop vac to suck the ceramic or porcelain debris as you are drilling- that stuff is nasty on the skin. 2. You really should wait 24 hrs for the caulking to fully dry before running the shower. 3. Wiping the surface of the tub or shower where the track goes with alcohol will help assure a better adhesion of the caulk. 4. Sometimes it's best to seal just the inside of the tracks toward the tub or shower, caulking/sealing the outside may cause water to accumulate inside the track and become stagnant, moldy and could rot a wall that isn't water proof. This way, a leak would be evident before it becomes a major problem.
Thank you. This is the reason why I read through the comments. Always some extra helpful tips and advice. I will keep these in mind when I install my shower doors soon.
You showed and explain everything in very easy way , now I feel that I can do that too! You help us to grow our confidence level higher. Thank you so much 😊
WOW! AMAZING how simple you made this. I have 2000-2005 gold trim glass doors that need to be replaced. SO glad to have watched this.I also need to replace faucet, etc to match ..😢
If you're going to drill into tile then make sure your using a 1) Hammer drill. 2) Get good anchors and screws that already come with a bit so you have the correct size bit. 3) Grab a "CARBIDE" bit the same size as the one that came with the anchors, this for drilling into tiles.Tape a refrence mark the same depth as your anchor from the tip and twice the size of the bit creating a stopper so that when you drill past the tile it doesn't shoot through the other wall when applying pressure and prevents the drill from slamming into the tile and damaging it. As a preference I add silicone to the outside of the anchors then insert it so it sets better and seals it. If you want you can silicone the hole in the wall too. This is mostly for your typical DYI person. I know it sounds like a lot of steps just to drill holes but it helps you find the correct size bit, prevents leaks and damages. Hopefully this helps.
I only had to flip a door that was hung wrong side out but this video also helped in setting the rollers properly. I really should have put down some cardboard in my tub and on the floor which would have prevented more scratches on both. But I got it done! Thank you.
Excellent video. Thanks for the idea. I want a shower but removing my tub would be a nightmare. Plus I like the option of havongvthe tub. Brilliant 💡 Thank you so much!
Excellent video! My shower kit did not come with instructions so this was valuable. There were studs behind the shower so I didn't need the wall anchors. Also, a hack saw with a miter box would've been way better. But since I didn't have one, I used my grinder and kind of messed up the upper track, but it is not too noticeable.
Good job. I used this video as a guide to install higher quality doors for a shower pan. I needed to drill a pilot hole for drilled into thick tile and cement board. The only problem with these glass doors is maintenance. A daily cleaning with a squeegee to prevent water spots and soup scum.
You made this look so easy compared to other videos I’ve watched! Simple and straight to the point. I’m going to install a door over my tub. The shower curtains are starting to get on my nerves lol. Thanks for sharing! ❤️
This is by far the best diy video ever, other videos i have watched, I still don’t know how to install after watching it. This video, I’m going to Home Depot tomorrow!!!
@@gillart99 my shower door didn’t arrive until 2 months ago. And I barely finish yesterday lol 😝 it was not as easy as it seem. It took me 2 days to complete the project.
Stoked this was at the top of my list when I searched. I searched before a few months ago and couldn't find the same doors I have. The set in this video is the exact set I have. Lol... I swapped rental houses owned by the same guy and took the shower doors with me when I left but my cousins boyfriend took them out for me and now I have to figure out how to install them. Cool it's also a female doing the tutorial cause here I was like ***If a guy can do it so can I!!***
I have mobility issues and use a shower chair. It's a pain when the curtain grabs onto me. Looking forward to replacing the curtain with a door. Thanks for sharing.
Ok two things one it's illegal to run power through the walls where your tub is... Two if your shutting the power off sure stops getting electrocution right away but you may still have damaged wires as a result a fire may occur later on
Great job your better than me, I'm just starting to learn to do home stuff myself , just bought a condo and I would like to learn to stuff myself if I can thanks
I love how quick she goes, it's like she's racing to see who can install their shower door the fastest🤣 but fr love how complete this is without any unnecessary details or shots
@@MAGAMANMy bad, just thought when the camera angle changed her arm looked to large must be the camera angle. I put up my aunt's shower doors and her video was perfect for the job. She seems nice, professional and extremely knowledgeable. Its the best video I found on RU-vid to do the job and I have been working construction for 15years.
She is awesome! So calm cool collected and precise explains everything so well !!! I appreciate the detail of explanation step-by-step! Thank you so much for this! I have a question. Mine is an old one piece molded bathtub unit. Is there a problem drilling through those or any extra precautions that need to be taken. Thank you.
Only because a number of people commented about how old this might be. According to IMDb, Teresa was on this series from 1995-2005. Still useful info - especially if you look through the comments! One I didn't see was her using a hammer to drive the anchors into the tile. Ouch! Maybe a rubber mallet or a block of wood against the anchors?!
Thanks! Would you recommend any llw cost cutting tools for this header/top track? Kohler customer service suggested hack saw or "miter" saw. Also, the outer plastic in my default roller wheels wore out, exposing the metal underneath, and damaged the header track after only 8 years of use. I switched it out with nylon plastic roller wheeler, I hope these wheels will last longer.
Listen to me carefully.. Please make sure you don't have electrical, plumbing, or HVAC running behind your walls...(I do this for a living and you would be surprised) Great video!
@@tom11zz884 Recommend minimum is generally 24 - 48 hours. It may differ on the product you are using. They will often state in the fine print what they recommend. 👍
I came across this video because I was searching for bottom guide replacement part for my maax shower door inner door panel. Do you know what it looks like? I was hoping you would show in inner door panel installation as well
Great Job, you boost up my confident and saved my $ 4500 , which they told me it’s going to cost. The only question is how the top of the frame will be held in the position since i don’t see it screwed.
The one I installed had a clip that attached into the rail of the top horizontal piece and then attached that into the top hole of the vertical rail with the screw.
@@IM-ng1ep I disagree. The doors can't possibly weigh that much because she lifted them into place. The top should always be secured for safety. She could have used screws or caulking.
can i install a bypass shower door on a fiberglass/acrylic/prefab shower with bathub? The stall walls portrudes on the side about an 1" I think so I don't know how would I install the side wall rails on this type of shower.
