Installing Delta Simplicity Sliding Shower Door

[@sum1liteamatch]

Video helped me make my wife think I knew exactly what I was doing thank you

[@MrOlskool88]

lol

[@stevecraven2956]

I watched this video this morning and installed the doors this afternoon. Delta has good instructions but this is a great video and definitely worth the time to watch it! I recommend that anyone doing this job get a diamond-tipped bit if you are drilling porcelain tile, they are worth the extra cost. If you are not good with a diamond-tipped bit cut yourself a templated from a piece of plywood or watch a video on how to use one and practice on some scrap tile or you may damage your tile. Also, the Delta instructions that were in my package say drill a 3/16 hole in the tile but that is not correct it is 5/16, hopefully, they have corrected that in the instruction book.

[@ubb4me]

Do you have the Delta model number and where you bought it? I need to replace my old shower doors. Thanks.

[@shebeme2000]

Great, easy to follow video. I had a very similar Delta door "professionally" installed last year but the doors are very wobbly when you slide them. It's very loud and annoying, I feel like I'm risking breaking the glass .

[@amr254]

Do you know if it was attached to a stud?

[@shebeme2000]

@@amr254 yes, so was the previous one.

For ones that are not really good on a neat caulking job, create a channel for the caulk to be applied with two strips of painters tape at desired width. Remove the tape after the caulk becomes fairly firm BUT HAS NOT CURED COMPLETELY. This will minimize any "ripping " of the caulk's edges and give a nice clean uniform appearance. Tape removal after the caulk has cured completely might result in a " jagged ripped " looking appearance.

[@robrero]

So, I keep on getting ridges when i pull the tape....are you saying that this is a symptom of pulling the tape too soon? I'm at the end stages of a bathroom renovation and caulking has been frustrating

[@joaquinsuarez6090]

@@robrero After you put tape and applied silicon use your finger to push silicon, then remove the tape right away, clean your finger and use it again on silicon to make it smooth and remove lines of silicon left with tape. If you don't do that you will end up with 2 higher lines of silicon, one on each side.

[@daviddetrick9706]

Thank you very much my friend. Delta did not provide any instructions. Without your help I wouldn't have been able to install the doors

[@davidmuniz8177]

Wow! Wonderfully made video on how to install sliding shower doors! You were very detailed and clear on how to install each component. After watching your video, which I thank you for taking the time to put together, I now feel confident about installing it myself. Thanks again for your informative video. I really appreciate it!

[@Zidanemoggy]

Great video! Caulking tip for DIYers: buy an electric caulking tool. They are worth every penny.

[@ericgaida9868]

My door did not come with written instructions. You video was great, it worked perfect for me. Thank you for going slowly.

[@christopherzimmer]

Phenomenal video editing! Thank you so much- very helpful-- detailed enough to provide added value, but not annoyingly slow!

[@jonsollenbergerjr.5785]

Wow I watch a lot of how to videos but this one just amazes me. Great work. I absolutely loved watching this and it put my mind to ease on the installation process.

[@jungletension2835]

I watched your video several times before installing my shower doors I added two screws at the top rail at either end though and I added a 3-inch screw into my sill beneath the door guides on the bottom rail

[@kalpersaud9132]

Great video, I will be using this to install the same shower in my bathroom this weekend, very detailed video great job.

[@wessboucher8442]

Very good layout, step by step, easy installation.

[@jovantasevski5157]

Thanks for the video. I am in the middle of the installation process and I am a little bit worried about the bottom track not being secured to the curb of the shower. The installation guide doesn't include any screw to fix the bottom track and I don't feel comfortable relying only on the silicon applied in the channel under it. In your video (9:47) one can also see that the bottom track is kind of wobbling up and down. It moves up and down as you press on it. Putting just silicon at the edges will keep the track steady and it won't be enough to stop water entering under the track. I believe that this is why a lot of customers in their reviews are complaining about water splashing out of the shower. Honestly, I am thinking of putting at least two screws through the track into the curb to make it stable and prevent any gaps between the track and the tiles of the curb. My curb is made out of concrete bricks so there shouldn't be any damage if moisture gets through the screws. Your opinion?

[@kalpersaud9132]

If you silicon the base track on both side it will be enough to hold it

[@joaquinsuarez6090]

Good idea, you can fill holes with lots of silicon before putting the screws, that way water doesn't get inside bricks.

[@Mike-ls1tx]

I had mine installed by a contractor and it leaks, I love the shower but there is nothing that keeps it from running under to glass to the outside of frame what am i missing he said he caulked it

[@Airam_Legnar]

Great video, only one thing missing. Make sure the surface is leveled....

[@artsoto5459]

Excellent video, does the holes have ro hit the studs? Is the tile strong enough to hold the door

[@stormbytes]

Terrific job! Thank you for sharing this video!

[@leec8677]

Great video. That helped a lot. Thank you. I used a hack saw and miter box on mine. Cutting the top bar was a nightmare. Next time will definitely purchase an angle grinder and diamond blade.

[@jachmoodyable]

Excellent video !

[@maheshpatel3495]

That looks like a nice professional installation.

[@DanOfMostTrades]

Great video! Thank you for all of the close-ups and explanations.

thanks buddy that was far better then using the paper instructions

[@joaquinsuarez6090]

Great info, thanks. What model number is that door?

[@lauracorratti9189]

Thank you, did it just the way you did ,very helpful.

[@gabogabrich]

Thank you very much, your video helped me a lot

[@albertz3940]

When showering does it matter if the outside door is closed towards the shower head or the other end in regards to water exiting the shower? Or does it not matter which way any door is closed during showering?

[@milfordcollins8892]

Yes it matters. The inside door needs to be towards the shower head. The water needs to run off one door and overlap onto the next door. If they are in the wrong order water will shoot between the two doors.

[@bhappy8892]

Just this installed by a ( handyman ). First the door had a gap on both sides when fully open, the gap gets wider towards the middle and even more at the bottom. He adjusted it, but now the door doesn't stay shut and slides open, leaving a gap at both ends. Any suggestions on what he did wrong!

[@kelvinmurphy9704]

Great instructional video! Where did you buy your drill bit? It seemed to drill through the tile effortless.

how does the water get out of the bottom rail? this is the problem we are having with ours and the fact the builder did not put the doors on good either UGH!

[@gregking4395]

Thanks man this really home out a lot. 👍🏿👍🏿

[@trueforum378]

Great video. Well done mahesh. I want add one important point: drilling tile is very difficult with normal drill. Please use high impact high RPM hammer drill and those holes become easy. Thank you!

[@dablet]

wish you had shown how to mount the mirror onto the frame

[@louieharo9240]

I did everything the way the instructions that came with the shower doors and your video and the inside glass door is hitting at the bottom corner on the metal frame

[@asessino23]

Thank you you save my life today

[@cashnaftzger6348]

My Handels hit each other while opening.. any advice

[@A9K3]

Tips on cutting off the top rail? I want to get the same cut off tool. Will a diamond wheel be best to cut? Surprised there were no sparks

[@ToolsReview]

Good question, I used this cutting wheel - not a sponsor: 3 in. Metal Cut Off Wheel (3-Pack) www.homedepot.com/p/306599198

[@ryantfinchum]

I used a 32TPI hack saw... Works just fine

[@that_juan_sti5054]

[@tubernery]

Do these doors or top rack include rollers? This was the only piece I didn't see. Thank you.

[@ryantfinchum]

Yes they come with the glass doors

[@BrianSmith-fn3rl]

Nice job!

[@AlbertZoAlonso]

Thanks for the video, the bottom base rail should also have caulking which will help secure that rail a little more to the floor. Otherwise it will move on the one side like shown in the video. The glass also has a particular side which goes in and out, as well as that wheel slide attached to the glass.

[@ShadowFireCoolDude]

Very good & handy man!

[@wekiyajunk4139]

The video is not detailed enough. Some of the essential steps were overlooked.

[@daveortwine2641]

That sucks you had to drill the pilot holes through the frames. As much as they're charging for these, delta should be putting the holes in them. That's a joke. The one I did for my parents had them predrilled

[@Gustamachio]

The handles are so loose and floppy no matter how you adjust them :(

[@blk1968]

Whoever installed this in my building must have watched this video because he didn't use a level and is so far off changing roller position doesn't help.

[@truett44]

You did all this work and forgot the most important part is hanging the two doors without breaking them . ??

[@Clarkcanepa]

Quite frustrating

[@mikezieg80]

Laser light. Give me a break.

[@rwkrauss6054]

Darn little to none instructions on attaching the bottom track to the shower pan. No screw holes are in the bottom track molding, so i'm guessing that you lay a bead calk to stick this track to the shower pan??? For this reason i give this video a minus rating!

crap job on that sill. spend the c-note and do that better
