2. Safety Information

Your Findepot shower door is designed with safety in mind. It features 5/16" (8mm) ANSI-certified tempered glass, which is highly resistant to damage. Additionally, the glass panel is covered with an explosion-proof film to prevent shards from scattering in the unlikely event of breakage, enhancing user safety.

Cleaning Instructions:

  • For daily cleaning, wipe glass surfaces with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive glass cleaner.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the glass coating and hardware finish.
  • Regularly clean the top guide bar and rollers to ensure smooth sliding operation.
  • Inspect seal strips periodically for wear and tear and replace if necessary to maintain water containment.

8. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your shower door.

Common Issues and Solutions:

  • Door not sliding smoothly: Check the rollers for any debris or buildup. Clean the top guide rail and rollers thoroughly. Ensure the rail is level and free from obstructions.
  • Water leaking from the enclosure: Inspect the bottom and side seal strips for proper placement and damage. Ensure they are securely attached and free of gaps. Verify that the shower base or curb is level.
  • Door not closing softly: The soft-close mechanism may require inspection if it's not functioning as intended. This may indicate a need for professional adjustment or part replacement.
  • Uneven installation: If the wall surface is uneven, ensure the 2/5 inch correction allowance was utilized during installation. Minor adjustments to wall jambs may be possible.
