TUB
/ SHOWER DOOR DIFFICULT TO OPERATE / VINYL SWEEP
AMISS: Tub enclosure doors usually have
rollers at their top edges which glide on
tracks. If the rollers are damaged or out of
adjustment the doors become difficult to
operate. Replacement roller assemblies are
available for many types of shower or tub doors
and are easy to install for most people.
Adjustments are possible on some doors by
loosening a set screw on the roller bracket and
raising the door up or down. Guides are provided
for the doors and are located on the bottom
track assembly. The guide is very important, for
without it, the door would swing inward and
possibly fall off the track. Shower doors that
swing outward on hinges are common, in fact,
inward swinging doors are not generally allowed
by building codes. The vinyl strip, or sweep, at
the bottom of the door should be in good
condition and adjusted properly at all times.
Water leaking under this strip may damage the
wall and floor of the bathroom. See Fig. 6030.
Should the strip need replacing it should be a
simple task to remove it and install a new one.
Parts are available at Home Improvement Stores
and Shower Door Companies.
