Dustin,my frameless 36x72 has the flat/towel bar, they removed them so they could clean,the bottom track,when they put back on,the 30" chrome,flat bar,on the door,had a chrome piece,on each end of the flat chrome bar.ok the screws,on each of the bar,are tight.but the chrome brackets,are loose letting the flat outside piece,of the 30" bar,slide from one end to the other????
Yessss...👍 this was so helpful. This doctor I work for has no clue in how to repair things. And he just asked me if my brother could come and see if he could fix his shower door handle. So I'm pretty handy myself. So I DIY You Tubed it. And voila...here's the solution. Thank you for an easy fix. It was what I was thinking but wasn't quite sure about it. 👍
Thanks so much for this. I've managed to take both allen screws out, but even after some WD-40 the door handle doesn't seem to want to come off? Any tips? Thanks in advance!
Mine used to have plastic washers which sat between the handles and the glass. They lasted less than a year. Do I need to replace these washers, or will tightening alone do the trick? Thanks! Great, to-the-point video.
Question: I removed the lower half following your lead, but the allen key isn't loosening the top part as it appears the screw rounded. How to proceed if the allen key isn't making the screw turn?
This is a problem. You will need to get that Allen out. You might want to try a star bit or a flat head driver that fits corner to corner to remove it. Then replace it completely. A stripped Allen screw is a problem.
Finally figured it the size need for the Allen wrench. It’s a 2.5 mm. Got the handle off, but how do I keep the screw going into the handle from just falling through the 2 holes in the glass. Whoever installed it originally put washers on the door side opposite the screw head if that makes sense. Then no matter how tight it is, the screws just fall out of the holes making it incredibly difficult to hold both handles while trying to tighten the Allen wrench set screws. Should the washer be on the door side of the screw head or even have two clear washers on both sides? Thanks for your time.
@@absolutegrappler i just looked up escutcheon plate. It doesn’t have that at all. They just put one clear plastic washer on one side of the top of the inside & outside handle.
I have a single sided handle that is loose, there's a tiny hole on the button that holds it in place - is this a hole for an Allen wrench? It's much smaller than 2.5mm
Every manufacturer has a different Allen setup. I haven't seen a security screw used, which is what it sounds like you're describing, but it's possible. Sorry that's not the help you were looking for.
James Lepore because there are multiple manufacturers of handles and they don’t always use the same size Allen. Also Allen wrenches come in a set so you should have them all!!
Hey Anna! The allen wrench size is 2.5mm. That's the small set screw that you start with. Then you'll need a #3 Phillips to tighten the large screws on the inside of the handle. I hope this helps.
bravo for keeping your video nice and short! no big intros, no rambling on for 6min!
Short video, straight to the point. I use your video to send it to customers that want to tighten their handle and have no idea how. Always helps
Wow I was so ready to call the glass company, I was so stress and bothered about that loose handle. Thanks so much !
Dustin, I’ve tried every size of Allen wrench & even the security bits. Nothing has worked. What could it be?
Thanks for the video! 6 years later and still helping people!
Love it!!!!
God Bless You!!! We tried and tried to fix ours at the hex and it wouldn’t work. Found your video and fixed in 2 seconds flat. Thanks so much!!!!!
Thank you! I just fixed my son’s shower handle just like you said- it’s been loose for years.

Thank you Dustin, I just tightened mine in 5 minutes with your help!
Thank you! Was going crazy trying to figure out how to fix mine.
Thank you! I thought I was going to have to call to have someone come out and repair. This was so quick and easy :)

Those washers keep the metal off the glass directly. I highly recommend getting replacements.

There should be an escutcheon plate on each side that keeps the screws from falling through the holes!

Thanks for the video I couldnt find the allen holes to fix my shower.
Glad I could help

Thank you!!! This was so helpful 😊
I'm so glad!
Straight to the point and it helped! thanks
You are powerful and handsome man. Thank you for the video.
Top notch video. Thank you!!
Glad it helped!
What size of Allen Wrench? Mine looks like it takes a hollow Allen wrench. Any help is appreciated.
Every manufacturer has a different Allen setup. I haven't seen a security screw used, which is what it sounds like you're describing, but it's possible. Sorry that's not the help you were looking for.
@@absolutegrappler I think it is a security screw. So where would I find that kind of tool to tighten the door? What would I search for?
@@okielawnguy you can order a whole set on amazon. Just look up security screw bit set.
@@absolutegrappler All purpose security bit set?
Try a 2.5 metric.
Thank you! Really appreciate that.
Thank you! this was a great video.

Why not tell us the size of the allen wrench????
James Lepore because there are multiple manufacturers of handles and they don’t always use the same size Allen. Also Allen wrenches come in a set so you should have them all!!
could you please write what kind of screwdrivers you used?
Hey Anna! The allen wrench size is 2.5mm. That's the small set screw that you start with. Then you'll need a #3 Phillips to tighten the large screws on the inside of the handle. I hope this helps.
Hi Dustin, thanks so much! I'll let you know if it works. Need to get the allen wrench first.
Hi again Dustin: worked like a charm! Woohoo! Thanks for the help. Happy New Year!
Bravo! I stuck (half) toothpicks in mine to use to shim it up until I could figure out how to fix it!
