Shower Door Keeps Swinging Open

On shower doors typically the rollers will be on a hanger bracket that has a few holes in it or a long angled slot.

Shower door keeps swinging open. Begin with the bottom pin and work up. Angle the blade of a large flathead screwdriver against the tip of the hinge pin and tap the base of the screwdriver to push the pins upward and out. When a shower door sags it is nearly impossible to close it snugly if at all. Latch the door and have a helper steady it while you work.

Your shower will have these brackets or some other set up but which ever the case may be there will be a way to adjust the roller. Remove the hinge pins if the door still won t stay open. Damage to the door and frame can result as well as water damage to the floor. The bent pin should keep the door from swinging open on its own.

Swinging door adjust the frame of the door by loosening all of the frame screws including the handle screws. Depending on where you position the roller in these holes or slot will adjust the height of the door. Repeated opening and closing rough handling and humidity can cause swinging shower doors to sag. Specifically you need to check the hinges handles and latches.

Shim the door edge using a two by four and wood shims. If you have a door that swings all the way open every time you leave it slightly ajar the door frame isn t plumb. Hit the hinge pin with a hammer. Typically this sagging occurs on the door s handle side.
