    One hell of a job to install them in a small bathroom by myself. One door is probably 130 lbs and the other 110. Directions kind of suck, but between the video and a couple glances at them...I got ur done! Beautiful doors and great craftsmanship. Quality product. Thank you.

    This is a good quality door, the rollers are really smooth and good quality. Two comments, keep in mind the support bar is about 4” lower then the door, for taller people (6’ tall) this could be an issue. Second, for the installation instructions, PLEASE make the text larger than 8pt type and provide more photos. The thing of having the bottom bracket mid way under the glass seemed wrong, as described in the text. Fortunately there is this video. 👍

      What are the dimensions of the door guide clip? I’m building a narrow shower curb and I need to know what the minimum width of curb I can do. I wanted to build a curb that was only 4” wide.

      Did you ever fix this? Not sure if ours is a Vigo, but the mechanisms are almost identical and we have the same issue with the door creeping back a few inches at times. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. We checked the level and it seems level however I'm not sure what the tolerance is as one area is still within the level lines but not dead centre.

    Hey guys the one thing confusing me is they give two sizes of drill bits for the rail to wall instation. one is with plastic anchors and the other is for attaching to studs. Im attaching to studs and was told by customer service, because instructions didnt say, that would use the larger drill bit size. that didnt make sense to me. So you would ust the smaller size bit to then insert an anchor plus the same screw? the logic isnt jiving. guess i may need to call again

    • @mikemcclanahan3129

    I believe my installers installed the middle piece that would sit on the tub's edge. The piece that holds the two doors. If this is true would this make water come out? Because it is. The installer ended up putting a piece of trim on the bottom of the moveable door to help with water getting under the door and over the black trim piece . And if that is the case, can this be fixed??? ugh.

  • @paulclayton2325
    @paulclayton2325 3 роки тому

    The instructions say to cut the support rail 3/4 inch shorter than the wall-wall distance, but if you do this it becomes impossible, once you have put one end of the rail into (let's say) the left bracket) to fit the other end into the right bracket. If the screws for the bracket were external, ie on a flange, you could fit the bracket to the rail end, slide the whole assembly into place, then screw. But it is a single central screw inside the bracket, so the brackets both have to be fitted first. According to basic geometry, you would need to cut off 1.5" (the depth of the bracket) from the rail to get the second end of it into place. Then the rail can be re-centred, but it will never run all the way to the inner end of the bracket. This will leave a structural weakness, which I don't want.
    How do you fix this?

    The top rail which (always) needs to be cut must be cut on the sliding door side, which isn't labeled - instead, they put a white sticker on one side which says to remove the plastic shim and on the other side you get a yellow sticker with a red warning triangle saying 'only cut on door side!'. This is the side you must cut - how confusing is that! Also, I'm mounting this on an acrylic tub and there's no way I'm drilling holes into it - what if it were cast iron or steel? Also, why would you put the screws where the INSIDE panel slides instead of the outside panel? Oh, and the best part of the manual is the part where they tell you to drill 76.5" up from your shower curb or 55.75" from the tub for the top rail and then say the the measurements should 'just be used as a guide. Your actual dimensions may vary' Are you kidding me?
