Installing a high-quality hinge can make all the difference in the performance, durability, and appearance of your frameless shower door. The WRS Adjustable Wall Mount Shower Hinge with Full Back Plate and Gaskets in polished chrome is engineered to deliver a clean, secure, and adjustable solution for both new installations and replacement projects. 

🚿 What Makes This Shower Hinge Stand Out?

The WRS Adjustable Wall Mount Shower Hinge is more than a standard hinge — it’s designed with thoughtful details to help your shower door operate smoothly and look great:

• Durable Construction: Crafted for reliable performance in wet environments.

• Polished Chrome Finish: Offers modern styling and excellent resistance to moisture and everyday wear. 

• Adjustable Design: Makes aligning the glass panel easier, especially if your walls aren’t perfectly plumb, helping you achieve a professional finish. 

• Full Back Plate: Provides extended coverage and added support where the hinge meets the wall.

• Includes Gaskets: Protective gaskets help safeguard the glass and ensure a tight, reliable hold. 

Note: The hinge is sold individually, and other hardware (like mounting screws or a second hinge) is not included.

🛠 Installation Guide — Step by Step

Proper installation ensures smooth door operation and lasting performance. Here’s a general guide you can follow:

1. Prepare Your Materials

Before beginning, make sure you have:

• The WRS adjustable shower hinge

• Matching mounting hardware (typically stainless steel screws)

• Drill with appropriate bits

• Level

• Allen wrench or hex key

• Screwdriver

Hinges like this typically support standard 3/8″ to 1/2″ tempered glass doors, and they attach the glass panel directly to the wall. 

2. Mark Hinge Placement

• Measure and mark hinge positions on both the wall and the shower glass according to your shower design.

• Use a level to ensure straight and even alignment.

3. Mount the Wall Plate

• Drill pilot holes at your marked locations on the wall.

• Secure the full back plate to the wall with suitable screws and anchors for your wall type.

• Ensure the back plate is level and firmly attached.

4. Install Gaskets and Glass Attachment

• Place the included gaskets onto the hinge where the glass will sit — this protects the glass and prevents direct metal-to-glass contact.

• Gently position the tempered glass panel in place against the hinge.

Note: For 3/8″ (10mm) Glass, use one thick gasket on each side. For 1/2″ (12mm) Glass, use one thin gasket on each side.

5. Secure the Hinge to the Glass

• Tighten with the supplied or compatible fasteners, ensuring all screws are snug but not over tightened (to prevent glass stress).

• Use an Allen wrench if your hinge has set screws for final adjustments.

6. Adjust Door Alignment

• After the door is mounted, you can fine-tune its angle by loosening the hinge’s adjustment set screws.

• Shift the door to the desired position, then retighten the screws so the door operates smoothly and seals correctly. 

📌 Final Tips for Best Results

• Check Glass Thickness: Ensure your glass panel matches the hinge’s compatible thickness (often 3/8″ to 1/2″). 

• Test Swing Range: After installation, verify the door swings smoothly and closes securely without rubbing on the frame or wall.

• Use Proper Anchors: For tile or stone walls, pre-drill and use appropriate anchors to prevent damage and maintain stability.
