How to Install the Passage Shower Door by American Standard

[@andspenrob]

Have this door and love it - great value and classy look! A couple notes to consider for those installing this door: 1) The fixed glass side (non-moving panel) is prone to leaking along the bottom and wall side. The rubber seal (aka "water deflector") included in the installation guide at 5:12 is not sufficient to seal against water leakage. Recommend drawing a bead of silicon along the bottom and wall side where the glass meets the metal frame to ensure a water-tight fit _instead_ of the rubber seal. 2) The rubber "side gasket" shown at 11:14 is prone to making a loud squeaking noise as the door is opened and closed - especially when the glass panes are dry. Reversing the gasket to attach to the fixed glass side (rather than the moving door panel) functions perfectly well and reduces/eliminates the squeaking sound. 3) The video is mentions this briefly at the end, but it is important to seal around *both* sides of the metal frame where they meet the walls and floor pan to ensure a good water seal. This includes (especially!) the corner where the wall meets the floor on the inside of the fixed glass wall. Due to potentially poor drainage into the pan, this area is a high risk for water leaking through gaps between the tile and floor pan.

This is the kind of product where the consumer learns way more than they ever want to about shower doors 🚿

We're installing right now Thank you so much for the video

My doors leak on the bottom in the middle where the where the doors meet at the rubber flap any ideas? Great video it helped ud out alot. Thank you

[@afugezi8114]

I’m currently in the middle of installing one of these doors. The instructions that come with it are definitely not clear at all. This video helped a little but I still managed to drill two holes on the wrong side of the wall mount on the sliding door side. Hopefully that will be the last mistake I make. A little caulking will take care of the holes.

My husband and I have been thinking of adding a door to the shower stall. Your video makes it look easy enough to do. Thanks!

[@jimclary7013]

So did you buy this door and how was it installing it. Thanks for any feedback

[@HomeCentsWithNell]

@@jimclary7013 No, we didn't. We decided to go with a curtain for now. Too many projects to do...lol

[@jimclary7013]

Thank you for taking the time to reply

Just finished installing my American Standard Passage Shower Door. It's really nice! Haven't used the shower yet, so can't report on leaks yet

[@americanstandard]

Hi Tim - We are really glad to hear that! Ypu're going to love it!

Thank you!!

Best video ever.. thanks so much..

Why does the top bar look like one is on the inside of the shower and the other on the out? What’s that about

[@matthewalderette3984]

What's the over hang instructions and this video isn't very clear

[@mjwood3494]

Thank you for this video. Extremely helpful and great to watch in addition to the paper instructions. I didn't see this in the video or the instructions... You use wall anchors in some of the early steps in attaching posts and connections. If I'm drilling into studs, I'm assuming that I don't need the anchors and I'd use a smaller drill bit, correct?

[@americanstandard]

Hello MJ! You are not required to use the anchors for install and can use a smaller bit to drill into the stud. Thanks for your question!

[@ExelleVision]

There should be qualified contractors offered by the company because no one has a clue how to put this thing together. I should have done it myself.

[@staceylukowiak8801]

I'm installing this door in reverse, fixed panel on the right. Directions are so-so, you really need to pay attention, plan, dry fit, then install. My issue is on the 60" opening I have, the horizontal bar is too short, and the pre drilled holes in the glass don't line up. Its Saturday, and help line is closed till Monday. frustrating beyond belief!!!

[@juniorvaldez2039]

I have a question, it says to install on a 60 inch alcove, what if mine is 57.5?

[@ashleymerica3825]

Ours was shorter and we went and took another one out from another box at the store and it was still to short

[@jasonwood4054]

Our shower base has a 2 1/2” threshold. Would this be wide enough for the center door guide bracket?

[@americanstandard]

Hello Jason - The threshold of the base needs to be at least 2-3/4” for the door to work. Thanks for your question!

[@mikea7691]

@@americanstandard Does that 2 3/4" include the rolled edge of the threshold? Thanks!

[@genetbekele357]

I just got it installed recently but it is leaking? Please help.

[@yenhuynh3970]

Why is the door rail is too low It's only 68 inches high. The door is pretty heavy. No need stud befind the wall to supprt the door rail?

[@blanketofbeans]

and what if i wanna reverse?

[@HungLe-vx7cg]

Can it be reversed? The fixed panel on the right and the moving door on left?

[@americanstandard]

Hi Hung - The Passage shower door can be reversed. You would need to flip the frame and the doors in order for it to work in the opposite way. You would follow the same installation instructions, just bearing in mind that everything would then be reversed. Thanks for your question!

[@rokguitarstar]

What they don't show in their warehouse non-real world install is their shower base outer edge slopes 3/4"! So you make your measurements from the shower base and your sliding door will have a 1" gap at the bottom. Spent hours going round and round only to figure out the problem. We did everything right. What a PITA!

[@americanstandard]

Hi There - Sorry for the frustration! Did you measure in from the inside of the ¾” roll out? It actually should have been measured from the outside of the base on the floor, which may have been what caused the confusion. It sounds like you're set now, but if we can be of further assistance at all, please give us a call at 800-442-1902 so we can get some more details. Thanks!

[@houseomiller]

What was the trick, if you don't mind sharing?

[@rokguitarstar]

@@houseomiller I installed a 1" x 1" tile along the base so there was no gap between the sweep and the base

[@petebuscarello6036]

This video is useful but would be better if instead of music and captions the person installing the doors talked step by step.

[@ronzahursky7018]

Just installed this for a client. Wouldn’t recommend it. Pan is crap. Door is leak prone if installed per manufacturer. Going back to seal door again today. I usually install what is purchased by the customer but that will probably end

[@hvhg2555]

This instruction causes a lot of problems.

[@lorrielara7172]

What a nightmare to install! The paper instructions and this video are not great. They do help some but alot of it, you have to figure out yourself.

[@fidelabc123]

Feels really cheap and written instructions are horrible. Video isn't too much better (and I'm an engineer)
