Upgrade Your Bathroom with a Pivot Shower Door

Pivot shower doors are a type of shower door that pivots on a hinge, allowing the door to swing open and closed from hinges on the top and bottom of the frame. They typically have fewer moving parts than sliding shower doors, which means that they are less likely to develop problems over time.

Hinged shower doors can be a great option for many homeowners, but it's important to make sure that your bathroom has enough room for the door to swing open and closed comfortably, and that the door is of the right size for the opening.

When measuring for a pivot shower door, there are a few key measurements that you will need to take to ensure that the door will fit properly.

1. Measure the distance from the inside of one wall to the inside of the opposite wall. This will give you the width of the opening.
2. Measure the distance from the top of the threshold (the bottom lip of the shower opening) to the top of the shower opening. This will give you the height of the opening.
3. Measure the distance from the top of the threshold to the center of the showerhead. This will help ensure that the shower door will not interfere with the operation of the showerhead.
4. Measure the lip height from the floor of the shower to ensure the shower door can open and close properly.

Cleaning the pivot shower door mechanism is an important step in maintaining the overall function and appearance of the door. Here are some tips on how to clean the pivot shower door mechanism:

1. Start by wiping down the pivot mechanism with a damp cloth to remove any loose dirt or debris.
2. If there is any buildup of soap scum or hard water stains on the pivot hinges, you can use a mild cleaner such as baking soda and water to wipe it away. Be sure to use a non-abrasive sponge or cloth to avoid scratching the metal.
3. Rinse the pivot mechanism thoroughly with water to remove any remaining cleaner.
4. Dry the pivot mechanism with a clean towel or cloth.
5. Lubricate the pivot mechanism with a silicone-based lubricant. This will help to keep the door moving smoothly and prevent it from sticking.
6. Regularly check for any loose screws or bolts and tighten them if necessary.
7. Finally, be sure to wipe down the shower door and the surrounding area regularly to prevent buildup of soap scum and hard water stains, this will make cleaning the pivot mechanism less frequent.
