Hi
I am trying to fix a sagging door on a Simpson Shower enclosure. The bottom edge of the door hass dropped and it will not allow the door to be closed.

The enclosure has an inline panel and return panel . Please see pictures. I thought I might just be able to adjust the hinges but this does not make any difference. Has anyone come across this problem and what did they do. I cannot find a telephone number for Simpsons?? Are they still in business?? There is an old phone number on the instructions which does not work

I have found a company called Bathroom spares who do spares for Simpsons but am not sure what to order. Possibly a door alignment jig.

Any advice would be gratefully received

Many thanks

Paul

Is the adjustable on the fixed panel hinge ?

You should be able to get it on the hinges.

Maybe not the adjustment screw, try loosening/Re-positioning/tightening where the hinge attaches to the glass. These drop over time as the machine screws move within the glass hole that they pass through.

You can and should do these up very tightly!!!! Usually have a plastic gasket between metal/glass.

If not v. tight the door will drop again soon as they are pretty heavy.

Many thanks Ben-gee. I have done the above and tightened them as much possible but still no luck. On some shower enclosures one of the screws will lift it up but not on these. I will try reseating it as you suggest.
