Glass Shower enclosure

Post by LICY »

We have a large walk in shower that has a static door then the opening door. The static panel has nothing to steady it, only the hinges fixed to the tiled wall. This means as the suction of the door opens outwards it moves the static glass panel quite a bit both ways. We are worried about the safety aspect and I am trying to think of the best, most unobtrusive way to steady the bottom. I do not want a big piece of chrome from the glass wall to the tiled wall. Do you think I could have something akin to a door stop, possibly on the dry side only of the end of the glass section? :roll:

Hi Licy, I would have thought there should have been a 'bracing' bar to support the static panel. What make is the enclosure? I would look in Google Images and see if there's a photo of your enclosure showing a brace bar - it sounds like it might not have been installed? You need to look at the photos quite carefully.
