DreamLineEnigma-X 56-60 in. W x 76 in. H Fully Frameless Sliding Shower Door in Polished Stainless Steel, SHDR-61607610-08

It took my dad and I about 6 hours to install the Enigma shower door. I would say that I am very handy being that I've built and designed two houses before. A lot of time was devoted to checking and rechecking that everything was level and reading the instructions several times to make sure we didn't forget anything. The instructions were very clear and helpful.I think that someone with good DIY skills could put this together without having to hire someone. Don't let some of these other reviews scare you. Challenge yourself, but take your time. There are just a few tips I would like to share:- The first step requires you to cut the metal guide bar to your finished opening. If you don't already have one, you can get a good Dewalt hacksaw from Home Depot for around $25. Heck you already spent $800 on the door. With the hacksaw you'll probably need a table vise to hold the bar steady when you are cutting. I scored the bar first with some pipe cutters so that I didn't cut too crooked. Cutting the bar took about 10 minutes. It helps if you rotate the bar and cut in a new position if your blade keeps getting caught when the cut gets too deep.- Keep those glass edges cushioned. No matter how careful you are someone is liable to bang the glass corner on a wall or drop it too abruptly against the floor because the glass is so heavy. I would go as far as taping on some more cardboard or sill seal on to the corners when moving it around. We chipped one of our corners, but luckily the nylon anti-water strips covered up the damage. We we were lucky the whole thing didn't shatter.- Drilling through marble, porcelain, or ceramic, you need some good drill bits. There are some "glass and tile bits" that they sell at Home Depot with the blue heads. Those are NOT made for porcelain tile. You might be able to get through marble tile, which is a softer material than porcelain, with those things but it will still take you a long time. Get the carbide drill bits made for drilling through tile. Tile drill bits are made to be used on a lower RPM setting and with the hammer setting of your drill. I put my cordless drill down to the lowest power setting.- After getting the stationary glass up, we found that it was out of level horizontally by about 3/16" over 6'. The bubble was still within the lines of my level so I thought no big deal. In hindsight, I should have just adjusted the guide rail brackets in or out to get the glass level again because after I put the moving glass door part up it rubbed against the bottom guide block. It wasn't an awful noise, but I wanted it to have no noise at all. Not wanting to take everything down again and risk smashing the glass, I cut a small piece of velcro (the fuzzy side, not the scratchy side) and slid it in between the bottom guide block and the glass door. To keep it locked in place, I put a small bead of silicone on the back of the velcro before I slid it in. It worked like a charm. No noise when sliding the door.- Our floors were somewhat level, but there was a low spot. Before final placement of the stationary glass, I ran a thick bead of silicone on the low spots to provide some cushion for the stationary glass.- You walls have to be decently level, but not perfect. As long as it's not out of level by more than 3/16" over 6', then there's nothing some silicone caulk can't seal. This may be obvious, but I would recommend putting the sliding door on the same side as your shower head to limit the amount of water that could potentially splash out.- Our shower was a curbless shower, but after placement of the "anti-splash threshold," we now have a 1/4" curb. We probably could have done without it, but it's a very minor tripping hazard. Ha.- Before applying the thread lock onto your door stoppers, make sure you have them exactly where you want them. I tried to adjust one of the door stoppers after applying the thread lock and the set screw wouldn't budge. We put rubbing alcohol into the hole and waited a few minutes and were then able to pry it loose. If all else fails, you'll probably need to get an allen wrench set that has a thicker handle to give you more torque.All in all, it was no as difficult as some other reviewers made it out to be. Although, my perspective may be skewed a little bit because I still think of myself as a DIY'er when I may be more of a professional now.

Box arrived on damage wooden pallet and torn cardboard box. Door was in tack.If installation were the key factor this would have been a three star rating:• The instruction manual is inadequate. (YouTube has useful videos.)• The average individual does not have the experience to install this door. Installing this door is not in the same league as installing a shower door with top and bottom rails – a three person crew is pretty much required.• There are no DreamLine certified installers in the Oklahoma City metro area.This door worked for me because …• I insured there was wall support for the handing rod before ordering.• A local glass company recommended Handyman Pro out of Edmond, OK. They had experience with frameless shower doors, took their time, read the manual, and watched the videos. Installation cost was just under $400.00.• The result was a handsome and functional door that will add value the house.

I'm a very handy homeowner. I've built many large projects. Unless you are very savvy and have a strong partner, you are dead if you try to install this alone. Installation instructions are average. There are some critical elements that are understated or not stated at all. Depending on how adaptable and discerning you are you may still be dead even if you are savvy and have a strong partner. Now for the features. The finish quality of the glass and hardware is good. The drip guards that go on the edge of the glass to keep water from pouring out into the bathroom are lame. They are a pretty purplish vinyl that detracts from the beauty of the shower. They are not especially effective at blocking water either. WARNING: the stainless steel screws that hold the guardblock are crap. Stated another way you are absolutely dead if you use them. They will break in half as you screw them in leaving half the screw lodged in the tile. Save yourself the trouble and toss them. Go to the hardware store and buy your own #6 1" stainless steel pan screws. You'll need 3 of them. Tools you'll need: a legit metal hacksaw (you are sawing through a 1" hollow metal rod that is 1/8" thick. You are also sawing through a 1/2" metal drip guard). If you are drilling through tile you'll need some drill bits for tile. Get a 1/8", a 3/8", and a 5/16" Have a clue what you are doing when you are drilling. Your drill speed should be much less than 2000rpm. Drill slowly. Last thing, you'll not be able to use this door if your walls and floor are not plumb. As in dead 90 degree angles. Mine was off a smidge and I got crafty and made it work but it took me bulk of a day to install this. NOTE: The door that Dreamline sent me had a cracked corner. I'm requesting a new door.

Bought 2 of these now and absolutely love them! The hardware is of very good quality and my glass guy had no issue installing them. If you are not super handy, spend the money and hire a pro to install it for you, likely take a pro 2-3hrs to install tops (but you'll need to help them lift it in and out). Contrary to what it says on amazon, there is a small amount of adjustment in the door hardware. As long as you are no more than say 1/8-1/4 out of plumb or level you should be ok. Also, ignore the reviewer on here that complained that the shower glass randomly "exploded" onto him 6mo after install. This is tempered glass, and if not installed correctly (as this guy likely did) or if hit on the edge with a hard object, it will totally explode into a thousand little shards. Again, if you're not experience with this type of thing, hire a pro to at least help you install it. Also, make sure you've measured 7 ways to sunday before cutting the bar....you only get one shot at it! PS this unit will NOT work on a curbless shower, your shower needs a min 3"-4" high curb or the bar will be too low and tall folks will hit thier head on it. I have a 3" curb, am 6' tall and clear the bar no problem. PPS. exact same unit model at Home Depot was easily 50% more.

Beautiful quality product. The glass & stainless steel hardware looks beautiful & like it will last a lifetime.Complete instruction guide is easy to follow but it will take several hours to install properly.Another Dreamline winner!
