How to fix oin pivot glass shower door rubbing?

The glass shower door looks is rubbing lately and making a terrible screeching sound. The pins it pivots on to open and close look OK. Any advice appreciated.

Re: Pin Pivot glass shower door rubbing

Hello @YL1 

 

Just a friendly reminder that working with glass is dangerous an accidental hit with a tool or when too much force is applied can cause the glass to shatter and result in injury. 

 

It appears that the hinge holding the glass has allowed the door slip ever so slightly at an angle. This is therefore causing the edge of the glass to catch on something and is causing the screeching sound you hear. I'm not familiar with the hinge set that is on your door and am not sure if it can be adjusted. I propose engaging the services of a shower installer and asking them for quote on how much it will cost to repair your shower door and put it back into alignment. 

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

 

Eric
