Shower door plastic latch broke

[wingails]

Hi,had the same problem on my grayhawk ,the cheap plastic retainer warp open.went to Lowe's and picked a 2" plastic strip for window door trim and cut two pieces , glued together,to fit in the track of the shower .it fit perfectly between the rails ,the shower wall and the three glass doors very easy to remove.no rattles or surprised loose doors while driving . Being plastic it won't rot .Hope this helps

Sounds like a good idea do you have a photo of the mod?

Rustynuts, we are interested in buying your shadower door latch. I did send you a pm. I also posted on here. I did not know your user name. I just found it. We have a sliding glass door in 3 pieces.

Sorry I am, not making them any more, had issues finding a company to laser cut them for me during Covid as I was to small of an order. Then a guy ordered one from me, copied it and undercut me on eBay. I don’t know the quality but you should find them on eBay.

Hello, thank you for your reply. I’m sorry that someone did that to you. That makes me mad. If the price stayed the same, I’m sure there is plenty of room for two small businesses.

Saw a quote hung on the overhead of an old wood flooring company years back, it went something like " Whenever someone creates and perfects a new product by means of their own creativity and sweat, someone will invariably come along, finding a way to produce an exact albeit inferior copy and sell it for less. The consumer, shopping by price alone is their legal prey".
