A contractor installed it for me and didn't have any issues following the instructions. As for using it, we've only had it for about a month and so far so good. The door is very sturdy and the glass is easy to clean. Just follow the directions which says to use a squeegee and soft cloth.

Very nice
In general it was an easy installation, but I feel like an emphasis should have been put early in the instructions that the vertical alignment for the door and stationary glass is solely based on their connections to the wall. Its obvious in hindsight but I would have paid more attention had I thought about this earlier in the installation. I ended up having to realign both sides, which entailed drilling several new holes in tile. Also, a diamond bit is a must for drilling the holes in tile. Tungsten carbide just did not do the trick. With the diamond bit you just need to keep spraying with a water bottle while drilling.

Great Shower Door but Not Exactly as it's Described
This door does not pivot (meaning it cannot open both inward and outward). It is reversible (meaning it can be installed with the door either opening into the shower or pulling it out toward you). I called the manufacturer who explained to me that it was described correctly (not according to Webster's dictionary) --- it is a beutiful door with very strong glass and looks great installed, but unfortunately the seals are not great and it does leak from time to time.

Response from THD customer supportMar 1, 2016
Dear Valued Home Depot Customer, We reached out to MFG for more information and below is their response. “ The DreamLine Elegance Shower Door is a pivot style shower door. The meaning of the word pivot, according to Websters dictionary: "Is a shaft or pin on which something turns." This refers to the mechanism which attaches to the glass door at the top and bottom and allows it to open but does not specify that it opens in all directions. A good example is a refrigerator door which works on a pivot mechanism and can only be opened outward and not inward. The Elegance can also be reversed which means it can be mounted to either the left or right wall of the shower depending on your bathroom configuration. As a safety concern,most townships and counties do not want a shower door to only open inward. This is due to the concern that if someone were to collapse in the shower emergency personnel would not be able to immediately get to said person and may need to shatter the glass to give them medical attention. DreamLine systems provide an off-the-shelf shower unit with the look of a custom design. Readily available and much more reasonably priced than custom, DreamLine products give the look and feel of custom glass at an exceptional value. When installed correctly the anti water strips are very effective at retaining water within the shower unit. If you are still experiencing an issue, please call our DreamLine Customer Support Department for help. Once an order is placed with our vendors and we receive it and it is processed, we ship within 48 hours. As with any support line, depending on when you call, there can be a wait time. Our busy Customer Support Department is available to answer any technical questions, address warranty issues or provide installation assistance. Please call our Customer Support Department at: 1-866-731-2244 or email us at support@bathauthority.com Monday-Friday 8am-7pm EST "

diy shower door
this is a shower door with custom appeal and diy all in one. I had to buy a stud finder that reads behind tile to complete the install. it was worth every dollar. decided to install myself since you can't find a good contractor these days. it's sturdy and we'll constructed. instructions need to be a bit more detailed, easy to follow none the less.

    Looks nice difficult to adjust
    The directions are poorly written. Once the door is mounted it is very difficult to adjust the tension.

          Quality build. The hinge design (on top and bottom corners) is what sold me. It is much stronger than hinges located in the middle of the door.

          Door leaks
          Purcased this door and Home Depots delivery service lost door. Reordered door took two weeks to deliver. Once door was installed on Dreamline pan purchased from Home Depot pivot door leaked. Dreamline customer service tried to help but they could not stop leak. Pivot door is poorly designed with bottom hinge at bottom of door which is a poor design that leaks. Also door leaks like a sive and Dreamline actually told me they did not have any suggestions to fix. Would never reccomend buying this door.

            My Dreamline Elegance shower door was everything I expected. Installation instructions were great, help line was very good when I needed it. Quality hardware made things go together well. Final product was just what I was looking for ! Will purchase another door for my next bath remodel.
