Installation Considerations
Our hinges are designed for straightforward installation with included mounting hardware.

Professional installation is recommended for shower door hinges to ensure proper alignment and functionality.
Frequently Asked Questions
What glass thickness do shower door hinges support?
Our shower door hinges support glass thicknesses ranging from 8mm to 12mm, which covers standard frameless and semi-frameless door applications across Australia. When selecting hinges, measure your glass panels precisely—correct sizing ensures secure clamping, proper weight distribution, and safe daily operation throughout the lifespan of your shower enclosure.
Which shower door hinge finish is most durable?
Stainless steel finishes offer exceptional durability and corrosion resistance, making them ideal for high-moisture bathroom environments. Solid brass options with quality plating also perform excellently long-term. Matte black and brushed finishes hide water spots effectively, while polished chrome requires regular cleaning to maintain its mirror-like appearance.
Can shower door hinges swing both inward and outward?
Yes, many hinges in our range feature bi-directional swing capability, allowing doors to open both inwards and outwards. This dual functionality maximises bathroom space efficiency and improves accessibility. During installation, you can configure the swing direction to suit your layout—ideal for compact ensuites or larger walk-in shower designs.
How do I install glass shower door hinges?
Installation involves securing wall-mounted plates to solid backing, then clamping the hinge mechanism onto your glass panel at marked positions. Each hinge includes necessary mounting hardware and adjustment screws for precise alignment. While many homeowners complete installation themselves, professional fitting is recommended for heavier glass or complex configurations.
What’s the difference between fixed and variable angle shower door hinges?
Fixed angle hinges mount at predetermined positions—typically 90 or 180 degrees—suitable for standard rectangular enclosures. Variable angle hinges offer adjustability for custom installations where walls aren’t perfectly square or unique angles are required, such as neo-angle corner showers. Wall-to-glass hinges attach the glass door directly to a wall, while glass-to-glass hinges connect the door to a fixed glass panel. Pivot hinges are mounted at the top and bottom of the door, allowing it to swing freely inward and outward. Variable angle hinges allow for adjustable angles on glass doors, providing versatility and customizability, and are suitable for a variety of glass thicknesses and are designed for glass to glass installations. This flexibility makes variable hinges excellent for renovation projects in older homes.
Are shower door hinges suitable for frameless glass doors?
Absolutely. Our hinges are specifically designed for frameless glass shower doors, providing secure glass-to-wall and glass-to-glass mounting without requiring bulky frames. This creates clean, minimalist aesthetics that showcase your glass panels beautifully. Frameless-compatible hinges support the full weight of heavy glass while maintaining smooth, reliable swing action.
