How To Measure for A Shower Door – MCOCOD Shower Doors Measurement Guide

Installing a new shower door can transform your bathroom, giving it a sleek and modern look. However, to ensure a perfect fit, accurate measurements are essential. Follow this MCOCOD Shower Door Measurement Guide to get precise measurements and achieve a seamless installation.

Step 1: Gather Your Tools

Before you start, make sure you have the following tools:

  • Tape measure
  • Level
  • Pencil or marker
  • Notepad or measuring sheet

Step 2: Measure the Width

1. Measure at the Bottom:

  • Place the tape measure at the bottom of the shower opening.
  • Measure from one side of the wall to the other.
  • Write down the measurement.

2. Measure at the Top:

  • Repeat the process at the top of the shower opening.
  • Write down the measurement.

3. Measure in the Middle:

  • Measure the width in the middle of the opening.
  • Write down the measurement.

Note: If the measurements are different, use the largest width for a bypass door or the smallest width for a pivot door.

Step 3: Measure the Height

1. Measure from the Base:

  • Place the tape measure at the base of the shower opening.
  • Measure up to the desired height of the shower door.
  • Standard height is typically around 60 inches, but it can vary based on your preference and the shower door model.

2. Measure Along the Wall:

  • Measure along both sides of the wall to ensure they are even.
  • Write down the measurements.

Step 4: Check for Level and Plumb

1. Check the Level of the Base:

  • Place the level on the base of the shower opening.
  • Ensure it’s level. If not, note the difference.

2. Check the Walls for Plumb:

  • Place the level vertically along the walls.
  • Ensure the walls are plumb (straight). If not, note any deviations.

Step 5: Record and Double-Check Measurements

  • Double-check all your measurements to ensure accuracy.
  • Record the measurements clearly on your notepad or measuring sheet.

Step 6: Consider the Door Type

Different types of shower doors require different measurements:

1. Sliding Doors:

  • Ensure you have enough space for the door to slide open and closed.
  • Take note of any obstructions.

2. Pivot Doors:

  • Ensure there is enough clearance for the door to swing open.

3. Frameless Doors:

  • Frameless doors need precise measurements as there is little room for error.

Additional Tips:

  • Measure Twice, Cut Once: Double-checking your measurements can prevent costly mistakes.
  • Consider the Threshold: If your shower has a threshold, ensure it’s included in the height measurement.
  • Contact MCOCOD Support: If you have any doubts or need assistance, reach out to MCOCODs customer support for guidance.
