In order to go through the magnetic strip, it goes through a channel. No matter what you do, the magnetic strip won't be an issue. The door sweep I have to have a 1/2 inch channel in needs to be 1/2 inch wide. As of now, I have only seen a third of an inch. My sincere appreciation goes out to This marks
There should be an opportunity for you to return the item, but this is something the vendor might be able to answer
one strip on the frame and left the other one on the door in place. I experienced no issues with my door. You only need one strip to work.
On the frame of the shower where the shower door closes, there should be two small channels. By simply pulling out the old strip, it can be removed. You can use WD-40 in case it gets stuck Take the 4oz of Isopropyl alcohol and spray it along the old strip, let it sit for a few minutes, then pull it out. By slid ing the narrow side facing the frame into the channel of the new strip (with tabs), the new strip will blend into the frame seamlessly. When you begin at the top and work your way down, you will have the best results. It is my sincere hope that this will help. I installed mine in about five minutes. Once the new strips are in place, just cut off the extra with some

After clearing out the old magnet and cutting the new one to fit the door, the door not only would not close, but after touching them, it seemed very obvious it was a weak magnet. Why half of the reviews were saying the magnet worked perfectly while the other half were saying there was no magnetism at all made no sense to me. It seemed like I may have misaligned the door while installing the new magnet, but after adjusting everything it made no When I ran some tests with the leftover piece I had cut off, I figured out what the problem was. I had installed this strip upside down resulting in what appeared to be just a junk weak magnet that wouldn't hold the door closed, but when I rotated it 180 degrees clockwise and reinserted This problem has now been solved. The only thing they have to do is include a set of very simple instructions, and they would not have to include any of the confusing parts of the process There are a lot of 5-star ratings The retail price for a simple magnet strip is around $30, so the inclusion of a few directions would save most people a lot of hassle. As you install the magnet, simply hold it against the metal side facing the shower, but because there are only magnets on the left and right sides, you simply have to guess whether or not you put it in upside down since you can only use one side of the magnet. When I pulled the magnet out, twisted it around 180 degrees, and placed it back in, the shower closed the first time. Though the bolt doesn't compare in strength to our other shower that still has the original magnet, it's certainly solid enough to keep the door closed without squeaking or anything like that. I hope this helps.
There is no doubt that this is an excellent product. In fact, I never even realized how much magnetic material exists to hold my door shut till I realized exactly how it works! It took me a little while to realize that the screw that was mentioned in what were otherwise very helpful reviews by all the reviewers was actually the screw that secured the door strips/edge There is a magnetic strip at the edge of this edge. Moreover, the screws on mine were two- Both are placed at the top and The magnetic strip needs to be removed from the shower door before the magnetic strip can be installed. It all goes fast once you understand how it works, and hopefully this will be of some help to those who are as clueless as I was at the beginning! It was mentioned in most reviews that the strip should be inserted Upon removing the door strip holder/edge, I discovered that I couldn't insert from the top, as my edge was tightly pinched about 1 inch down-I couldn't insert from the top. It is not clear if that is how the house was designed or if that was done by previous owners. The magnetic strip went in from the bottom (the old one fell out from the bottom in different pieces) and I wedged it as tightly as I could into the "pinch" an inch below the top Could you please enlarge that top inch one inch? Rather than cutting off an inch of the extra strip (it comes longer than you need), I just glued it on. It still took me a little over half an hour, even with my steep learning curve. There is nothing difficult about this product, and you can accomplish it on your own! Many thanks to everyone who reviewed the product, which made me realize that this was definitely a DIY job. This was a great saving for me! There is no reason why you can't do it,.
This door will fit the Sterling 2200A neoangle shower door exactly. I received my order within four days of ordering. Upon receiving the strip, it was The following is what I have to say The new strip was measured and cut before being inserted to the door from the bottom up, pushing very slowly as close as possible to the edge of the door channel to avoid snapping the strip. To hold the magnetic profile in place, I used a nail head and a plier wrapped in cloth to crimp the strip on top of the shower door. I think $27 is a bit steep for such a small product, but I don't know of any.
POLARIZATION is an important element to remember when using the magnetic strips. During the eight years we have had the Quality Enclosure Framed Swing Shower Enclosure, the two magnetic strips(one on the door, one on the frame) have rusted and broken. The magnetic strip on the frame proved to be the easiest. Spray Windex on the track in order to make it easier to pull the old strip upwards out of the On the channel, sweep Windex over it. Cut the top of the top of the strip with sharp scissors, with the ridge on left. Slide another strip downward with the ridge on left. Taking off the top of the door is a bit more difficult. Loosen the screw at the top of the Tapping or tinkering the frame outward will allow passage of the old strip upwards out of the Create a ridge on the left side of the bottom of the new magnetic strip at a 45 degree angle to match the bottom of the Windex can be sprayed on an empty channel to lubricate it. Using a pair of sharp scissors at a 45 degree angle, trim the top of the magnetic strip with the ridge on the left. Put the top of the frame back into place with a gentle tap or nudge. Ensure that the screw is tight. Now that you're done, congrats! Be sure to use polarized magnetic strips. While the door is closed, the magnets must be located on opposite sides of the opposing strips so they will attract instead of.
It seems that pieces of black glass are falling from the I was unsure if this would fit and if it is a proper part for the door since we hadn't experienced that before. As soon as it arrived, the installation went smoothly. Installing from the bottom was the only way we could do it. Our door does not need to be disassembled because this material is flexible. It was just slid in from the bottom and a screw was installed so it wouldn't fall back.
