How to fix broken shower door hinge?

Lil_Tee

The hinge on my shower door screen has the middle part/screw that holds it together in the middle come out. The door is now hanging on the top hinge only and is dangerous. I’m not sure what the part is called and what to look for in store to replace it. See pics attached and thank you in advance.

Hello @Lil_Tee 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your shower door hinge.

Please note that working with tempered glass is dangerous as an accidental hit with a tool or if too much force is used could cause it to shatter and cause injury. Please make sure to wear personal protection such as gloves and goggles when handling glass.

In this particular situation, I suggest securing your glass door with some duct tape to temporarily prevent it from swinging. I then propose engaging the services of a professional shower installer as they will have knowledge and experience to replace your existing glass door hinge. I don't recommend doing this as a D.I.Y project due to the dangers of miscalculating the installation of the hinge. If too much pressure is applied, it could cause the glass panel to shatter.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
