Traditional Shower Door Installation

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Q: How high does my enclosure have to be to install this door?  

A: For the Delta® Traditional Shower Door Systems, the enclosure walls must be a minimum of 71 inches (180 cm) for a shower and 59 inches (150 cm) for a bathtub. This system cannot be installed on walls shorter than these measurements.

Q: Do I need to adjust the rollers on my shower door? 

A: Most of the time, the roller settings do not need to be altered if the shower door is properly fitted according to the installation guide and the shower is plumb and level.  

If the shower is out of plumb, the rollers must be adjusted. You can find this information in the installation guide for your specific Delta® Traditional Shower Door System version as follows:

Q: How can I prevent my shower door from leaking? 

A: To avoid leaks, ensure the installation environment is sound (no more than 3/8" (0.95 cm) out of plumb and is level). Carefully follow all instructions for proper installation 

Larger shower heads or handheld heads may also contribute to water leakage. Do not direct water at the glass. Additionally, apply sufficient silicone to the edges of the shower door per the installation guide. 

Q: Can I use the same shower door track for a tub or a walk-in shower? 

A: No. Be sure you have a shower door track for a walk-in enclosure and a bathtub track for a sliding door that's installed on a tub. They are not interchangeable.   

If you purchased the wrong track for your enclosure (i.e. you purchased a bathtub sliding door when you have a walk-in shower), do not simply adjust the side jambs to fit. This may void the warranty and cause a safety issue, therefore installing the correct track to the correct enclosure is essential.
