What stops the door in the closed position? ANS: There are springs inside the hinges and pivots that close the door to 90 degrees. If the door is open more than about 20 degrees it stays open. The door swings both ways unless a vinyl strike is applied (deployed).

Do I have to drill the holes in the glass myself? ANS: No. The holes and notches all have to be drilled and cut before the glass is tempered. Most of the Tempering Plants we use have the latest CNC diamond sawing, drilling and edging machines.

Can the shower door glass be trimmed? ANS: No. At this point in history, Earth does not have that technology.

Do you have installers in other areas?. ANS: No. Problems of insurance, quality assurance, guarantees, warrantees and so forth make us think that is impractical. We have tried to arrange for installation a few times and it didn't work out. Sorry.

Do you sell cheaper American Style shower doors? ANS: Yes we do. But only for local customers. It is impractical to ship American style, inexpensive versions mainly because they are generally available in your area at good prices. Note that most people feel the heavy glass kits that we sell are easier to install than the American style with all those aluminum rails waiting to corrode.
The American style showers that we sell are Contractor's Wardrobe Brand.

Can your shower doors be installed on Fiberglass shower units? Yes, but it is best if you back up the fiberglass with some 2x4's. If that is not possible and the fiberglass is not very sturdy, then you can use a header across the top and pivots, instead of hinges. This keeps the weight of the door off the walls.
