We have been talking about putting in shower doors in the kids bathroom for awhile. The shower curtain pole would fall down and water would come out if the curtain wasn't positions just right.
We purchased a tub shower door kit and I was able to cut the threshold piece and put that down. Then when we put the jambs on noticed that we would almost hit our head walking into the shower. So it was back to Menards to get the full sized door. I guess out tub is very low.
I put the threshold piece from the full size kit back in the tub kit and returned the tub kit to the store. They weren't sure they wanted to take it back w/o going through the box, but laziness took over and they took it back w/o too much issue. Though I can certainly understand why they would want to be careful.
Our shower has a trim piece that goes around the top, so I have to take off the little ridge that is on the back of the jamb. It looks bad here, but you can't really tell once it was installed. The install would have gone very quick, except for this and cutting the threshold and top piece. I used a Dremel and the results look nice, but it took awhile. And a lot of cutting wheels!
I tried to use a titanium bit to drill into the tile, but it wasn't working well and I was nervous to do it... So I picked up this set and they work amazing well! Glad I waited and used the right tool.
