How to Install a Dreamline Sliding Glass Shower Door | DIY | Tutorial

This how to install a DreamLine Sliding Glass Shower Door. I'll go step by step on how to install this shower door on top of the DreamLine acrylic shower pan or any shower base for that matter.

The door isn't very complicated to figure out if you go through the instructions, but it can still be a little intimidating so I hope this video helps. There were a couple parts that the instructions could have been more clear on (such as the sliding rail brackets) but I got through it and go through it.

One tip, if you have not tiled your shower walls yet - place a stud where your door will be located. This will make the whole thing much more structurally sound.

Thank you so much for watching. If you have any cool tips, tricks, or concerns, place them in the comments below and let us know how YOU install shower doors.

A tip from someone who installed one of these. Put a small bead of clear caulk around the bottom edge of the bottom guide rail to prevent water leaks. I didn't the first time I installed it and had to remove the doors because water leaked around the bottom guide rail. I did the same thing on all four wall profile bumbers to help keep then secure. Don't turn any of the screws too tight to prevent stripping.

Great video. Contractor installed mine. When the glass roller came loose, couldn't figure out how to adjust it. In your installation steps you showed how to attach it, and that explained everything I needed to do to flip the cap off and tighten the screw. Thanks so much for your frustration saving video.

Some good tips here! Will definitely be helpful when we install ours. Thanks!

Thanks for the great video! Really everything you need and nothing you don’t to install this

I have an estimate to install one tomorrow. Thank you.

This was a really helpful video guys. Lots of detail and a few nice tricks!

[khandam]

wow turned out very nice. I just picked up this shower door kit used for $100, but need to buy the left and right aluminum wall pieces.

Has anyone told you that you look like Lukas Podolski? Lol. Good install, thanks for sharing. Planning on doing this DIY as well

Your video helped me soooo much! I was so phyched out of thinking I could actually install these doors. But I got it done with your help! If I had to rely solely on the package instructions I would not have had a pleasant experience.
Just interesting note, I’m not sure if any caulk actually “glued” the side rails to the wall because of the deep channel (per the instructions), but oh well. 😀👍

[ksalls]

excellent instructions. found these very helpful. Thanks.

Thanks for the video. I was curious how you hung the doors. The manual I downloaded from the HD website says to put the roller brackets on the upper track first, then put the rail on, then block up the glass with 5/16 spacers and attach them to the roller brackets. The manual sent with the door shows doing it the way you did, put the roller brackets on the glass first, and then pivot them into the propped up rail. I noticed the online manual is version 2 (102022) and the one that came is version 1 rev 7a (112020). So I'm going to guess that the later online manual shows the easier way to do it.

Good job! My contractor installed ours, the only thing confusing us is the water guard strips. He slid them on the ends of the doors which didn’t allow the glass to slide in the slots at the bottom. I think we really just need one in the center anyways. The frame is too thick for them on the ones we choose! Thanks for the video!

Our handyman omitted cleaning glass with alcohol and applying Silicone Adhesive RTV 108 when installing M 6053 roller brackets onto top of glass panels. He tightened screws securely but outside panel slipped down and rides on bottom channel . Will need to redo entire installation, but not rehanging panels for 24 hours while RTV 108 cures. Apparently soft plastic grommet compresses and loosens grip plus adhesive is essential and must have cure time to hold against weight of glass panels.

You can put the threshold guide on last it makes getting the doors in much more easily

[janeth]

Nice detailed installation video. Looks great!

[imendoza]

The glass installation is kicking my ass

[minksm]

Having trouble right now getting that 2nd door on the track

[carrieluedecker]

at minute 7:20 there should be a pic of the gap in the slot where the wheel easily slips into the track. If you try to install and don't get the wheel in at the location where there is a gap, it WILL NOT GO IN. Took a while to figure that out.

So does the top rail remain unsecured, or the weight of the doors holds it down?

[jrwithrow]

I'm getting water out of both lower corners after two rounds of calk... Any help?
