COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Q: Do I need to install the Delta® Commix Shower Door System into wall studs? 

A: For warranty and safety reasons, you should install the shower door system into studs. Installing the top track into studs ensures stability of the sliding glass panel.

If studs are missing or misaligned, stop installation and contact the Customer Experience Team. Consider the Traditional or Ashmore sliding doors, which don’t require studs.

Q: What happens if I install the fixed panel on the wrong side?

A: The shower door should be installed according to the installation instructions for water retention, warranty, and safety. The fixed panel should be installed on the outside and furthest from the showerhead. 

The opening (sliding glass) panel should be installed on the inside and closest to the showerhead. If installed the opposite way, you increase the risk of water leakage and may void your warranty.  

Q: Do I need to use anchors when installing into studs?
