If you're going to drill into tile then make sure your using a 1) Hammer drill. 2) Get good anchors and screws that already come with a bit so you have the correct size bit. 3) Grab a "CARBIDE" bit the same size as the one that came with the anchors, this for drilling into tiles.Tape a refrence mark the same depth as your anchor from the tip and twice the size of the bit creating a stopper so that when you drill past the tile it doesn't shoot through the other wall when applying pressure and prevents the drill from slamming into the tile and damaging it. As a preference I add silicone to the outside of the anchors then insert it so it sets better and seals it. If you want you can silicone the hole in the wall too. This is mostly for your typical DYI person. I know it sounds like a lot of steps just to drill holes but it helps you find the correct size bit, prevents leaks and damages. Hopefully this helps.
Excellent! A couple of notations. 1. You can use the shop vac to suck the ceramic or porcelain debris as you are drilling- that stuff is nasty on the skin. 2. You really should wait 24 hrs for the caulking to fully dry before running the shower. 3. Wiping the surface of the tub or shower where the track goes with alcohol will help assure a better adhesion of the caulk. 4. Sometimes it's best to seal just the inside of the tracks toward the tub or shower, caulking/sealing the outside may cause water to accumulate inside the track and become stagnant, moldy and could rot a wall that isn't water proof. This way, a leak would be evident before it becomes a major problem.
Thank you. This is the reason why I read through the comments. Always some extra helpful tips and advice. I will keep these in mind when I install my shower doors soon.
You showed and explain everything in very easy way , now I feel that I can do that too! You help us to grow our confidence level higher. Thank you so much 😊
WOW! AMAZING how simple you made this. I have 2000-2005 gold trim glass doors that need to be replaced. SO glad to have watched this.I also need to replace faucet, etc to match ..😢
Good job. I used this video as a guide to install higher quality doors for a shower pan. I needed to drill a pilot hole for drilled into thick tile and cement board. The only problem with these glass doors is maintenance. A daily cleaning with a squeegee to prevent water spots and soup scum.
You made this look so easy compared to other videos I’ve watched! Simple and straight to the point. I’m going to install a door over my tub. The shower curtains are starting to get on my nerves lol. Thanks for sharing! ❤️
Stoked this was at the top of my list when I searched. I searched before a few months ago and couldn't find the same doors I have. The set in this video is the exact set I have. Lol... I swapped rental houses owned by the same guy and took the shower doors with me when I left but my cousins boyfriend took them out for me and now I have to figure out how to install them. Cool it's also a female doing the tutorial cause here I was like ***If a guy can do it so can I!!***
I have mobility issues and use a shower chair. It's a pain when the curtain grabs onto me. Looking forward to replacing the curtain with a door. Thanks for sharing.
I only had to flip a door that was hung wrong side out but this video also helped in setting the rollers properly. I really should have put down some cardboard in my tub and on the floor which would have prevented more scratches on both. But I got it done! Thank you.
I love how quick she goes, it's like she's racing to see who can install their shower door the fastest🤣 but fr love how complete this is without any unnecessary details or shots
@@MAGAMANMy bad, just thought when the camera angle changed her arm looked to large must be the camera angle. I put up my aunt's shower doors and her video was perfect for the job. She seems nice, professional and extremely knowledgeable. Its the best video I found on RUclips to do the job and I have been working construction for 15years.
This is by far the best diy video ever, other videos i have watched, I still don’t know how to install after watching it. This video, I’m going to Home Depot tomorrow!!!
@@gillart99 my shower door didn’t arrive until 2 months ago. And I barely finish yesterday lol 😝 it was not as easy as it seem. It took me 2 days to complete the project.
Excellent video! My shower kit did not come with instructions so this was valuable. There were studs behind the shower so I didn't need the wall anchors. Also, a hack saw with a miter box would've been way better. But since I didn't have one, I used my grinder and kind of messed up the upper track, but it is not too noticeable.
Great job your better than me, I'm just starting to learn to do home stuff myself , just bought a condo and I would like to learn to stuff myself if I can thanks
She is awesome! So calm cool collected and precise explains everything so well !!! I appreciate the detail of explanation step-by-step! Thank you so much for this! I have a question. Mine is an old one piece molded bathtub unit. Is there a problem drilling through those or any extra precautions that need to be taken. Thank you.
Only because a number of people commented about how old this might be. According to IMDb, Teresa was on this series from 1995-2005. Still useful info - especially if you look through the comments! One I didn't see was her using a hammer to drive the anchors into the tile. Ouch! Maybe a rubber mallet or a block of wood against the anchors?!
Ok two things one it's illegal to run power through the walls where your tub is... Two if your shutting the power off sure stops getting electrocution right away but you may still have damaged wires as a result a fire may occur later on
@@tom11zz884 Recommend minimum is generally 24 - 48 hours. It may differ on the product you are using. They will often state in the fine print what they recommend. 👍
Excellent video. Thanks for the idea. I want a shower but removing my tub would be a nightmare. Plus I like the option of havongvthe tub. Brilliant 💡 Thank you so much!
Listen to me carefully.. Please make sure you don't have electrical, plumbing, or HVAC running behind your walls...(I do this for a living and you would be surprised) Great video!
It would be helpful to explain if the shorter or longer side of the wall guides goes on the interior of the tub. Great to see a woman doing the install too. I would only suggest add in how to fix caulking issues if not enough caulk went on and she didn't include caulking at the base of the guides, which many manuals suggest.
I came across this video because I was searching for bottom guide replacement part for my maax shower door inner door panel. Do you know what it looks like? I was hoping you would show in inner door panel installation as well
Great Job, you boost up my confident and saved my $ 4500 , which they told me it’s going to cost. The only question is how the top of the frame will be held in the position since i don’t see it screwed.
The one I installed had a clip that attached into the rail of the top horizontal piece and then attached that into the top hole of the vertical rail with the screw.
@@IM-ng1ep I disagree. The doors can't possibly weigh that much because she lifted them into place. The top should always be secured for safety. She could have used screws or caulking.
So strange. I'm installing shower doors and have come up with the same dilemma. There's instructions in 2 different places and no mention of attaching the header to the wall channels the same as in this video. I'm thinking of at least adding silicone.
@@mmsabre7931 Sometimes the top is not secured because the weight of the glass doors is so heavy. But what if the doors are the flimsy type that weigh "5" pounds. Silicone will hold definitely secure it in place in most cases and also prevent water from the top. Some installations suggests a very small set screw on the inside going through the header to the side rail. I geard some doors have "clips" that are used to secure the header but I haven't run across one like that yet. I only have a few rental properties. One thing for sure, when kids are involved they will find a way to eff something up if it is not secured.
What happens if a sliding door shader? I was taking a bath and I heard a crack and all the glass was on top of me, can I buy another door and call someone to install it or should I buy everything all over?
I see that your roller is flat and the track is kinda round. For that type of track shouldn't I use a round corner roller? Does it really matter, maybe not? Another question, there are two types of rollers for sliding doors, 3/4 and 7/8 inch. Which is better, thanks?
Thanks! Would you recommend any llw cost cutting tools for this header/top track? Kohler customer service suggested hack saw or "miter" saw. Also, the outer plastic in my default roller wheels wore out, exposing the metal underneath, and damaged the header track after only 8 years of use. I switched it out with nylon plastic roller wheeler, I hope these wheels will last longer.
This was great, I love the fact that a woman did it all and gave me confidence to do it myself after asking my handyman for the past 3 months!!
So did u not think a woman can do this.
21st century sir.
Did you have any unexpected issues?
@@mikezieg80 To be fair, most of them can't.

I watched a lot of shower door installation videos and this was by far the most clear, concise, and professional. Great top-rail cross-section scene.
Yes, I agree. This was very concise and straight to the point. The verbal instruction is very clear and easy to understand.

But seriously, this is the most helpful and concise DIY video I have ever watched. Thank you!
I said to myself, she sounds like she's doing an old commercial. She sounds perfect.
I'm a single female and I do alot of DIY projects, so I appreciate Teresa being the instructor. Thanks so much!!
I mainly want to do this because I HAAAATE when the curtain touches me when I shower lol
Me too...I hate it!
Me too lol
I almost jump out my skin when that happens 🤮🤢
OMG! Me too! Makes me feel sick actually.
Y'all are definitely my people! 🤭
The best and clearest instructions I have ever seen on RUclips, thank you. I am getting ready to do this job!
I'm so going to do this... sick of shower curtains. Thanks for the DIY video showing a woman installing it... now I'm inspired=)

Don't forget to Sand down the small metal bers after each cut.... for a nice professional Look....! you can use a dremel sandpaper drum bit...!

Good job. I used this video as a guide to install higher quality doors for a shower pan. I needed to drill a pilot hole for drilled into thick tile and cement board. The only problem with these glass doors is maintenance. A daily cleaning with a squeegee to prevent water spots and soup scum.
So the only thing holding the header in place is the weight of the sliding doors pulling the header down onto the side posts?
Thanks! Ended up doing the project myself and it worked. It’s intricate and takes time. The right tools are imperative especially the drill bits. 👍🏼

The top rail does not need to be screwed since the weight of the doors will keep them in place.
The one I installed had a clip that attached into the rail of the top horizontal piece and then attached that into the top hole of the vertical rail with the screw.
Mine had a t-shape to slide into the top rail. But that meant the top and side rails had to be set in altogether.

Would it be same steps on a non tile shower?
Do NOT use a hammer drill on tile. They can crack the tile and ruin it. There are drill bits made specifically for tile.
