The box was clearly opened previously. Parts are missing and one handle is slightly bent. One glass panel has holes for the handle to be installed but the other one does not. I need the full product delivered to me. My contractor has done what he could but I don't have a working shower at this point and he is gone! Really awful service here. I expect Home Depot to send some one to finish the job, right?

Looks nice, but not good at keeping water in the shower
I am a little disappointed in this Kohler. Water splashes out easily because of the design. The gap between doors is too wide. The bottom track protection is not tall enough. After a 5 minutes shower, there is water all over the floor and i have to wipe every time. Not to mention slipping risk.

Hi Dave, this is Sarah with Kohler Co. I am sorry to hear your Levity shower door is not containing the water inside the shower and would love to help! For the leaking that is happening between the shower doors, the door size should be checked. If the door is too small for the opening of your shower, it would create a smaller overlap. When using the shower, the showerhead should be pointed away from the glass panel. The inside panel should be closest to the showerhead when running. If this is reversed, water will run through the gap. If the leaking is occurring under the door panels, we suggest lowering the panels to reduce the gap between the panel and shower ledge. If the leaking is occurring under the threshold we suggest checking the shower ledge to see if there are curved corners between the wall and bottom ledge. If so, the wall jambs should be trimmed and filed to match the curvature on the shower ledge. Lastly, the threshold should be sealed with 100% silicone. We suggest removing the silicone and reapplying it along the front surface of the threshold and along where the wall jamb and shower ledge meet. Let it cure per the silicone manufacturers recommendation. If you have any questions or need further assistance please contact our Customer Service team at KohlerCustServ@kohler.com. -Sarah S. Kohler Customer Service

    shattered after 1 day
    Panel shattered from normal use on the same day it was installed. Thankfully I was not badly hurt, just some superficial cuts. The warranty claim was approved easily enough, but shipping replacement panel is 2-3 months out, but not even sure i want to risk this happening again

    Hello, my name is Jessica with Kohler Customer Service. I am sorry to hear the panel of your Levity shower door has shattered. We do not have enough information to say exactly why or how your door shattered as there are many factors including shipping, handling, and installation that may have contributed to this. I would like to explain, all Kohler/Sterling shower doors are manufactured with tempered glass in compliance with Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards. To ensure this is the case, newly tempered glass is fractured and tested every day at our plant. In addition, Kohler voluntarily submits its glass to an independent entity for testing, to ensure consistency with and adherence to these standards. Our performance standards typically exceed both industrial and model code requirements, and products that do not meet performance standards are not released for shipment. We are happy to hear an order has been placed for a replacement panel. If you have any questions, please contact our Customer Service team directly at KohlerCustServ@kohler.com. We’re here to help. –Jessica P. KOHLER Customer Service.

        pretty but leaked water at the side of the door
        Both side I mean. Both side of the glass wall will leak water if your shower spray on wall. There is 1 cm gap between the glass and the wall because need to tap a bump to avoid the glass direct hit the wall. Then no more anti leak bumper for the whole glass area. Thats why water coming out from from the gap

          Beautiful Door, Easy Install
          I was able to install this shower door by myself in a couple of hours. Measure twice, cut once! It looks great, slides quietly and is easy to keep clean. My only complaint is that the bumper on the side by the shower head keeps the door open about a half inch, which lets some water splatter onto the floor. I just place a towel there, no big issue.

          Crooked
          I got a pro fix this in my house and it is unexplainable’y crooked. The glasses don’t feel parallel. Inner door does not close in a straight line. It deviates a straight line by at-least 20 degrees. Not proud of this purchase. Knowing it is a popular brand, we got this but this is not cool kohler !!! For the amount of money I spent on it !!!!!!! I like the look of this product but hey this is not participating in a beauty pageant, functionality is important for any door.

            Very easy to install compared to the last one I put up. Straightforward instructions and was able to do the complete assembly myself. I was a bit worried when I picked it up at the store. The box was damaged and couldn't easily check for damage. When I got it home and opened it up, everything was intact

              I chose this door because of the 74 inch height and availability of a towel bar. The 74 inches matches my surround perfectly. I also wanted frosted, but it was substantially more than clear. The trim at the bottom of the glass panels are logical in protecting against breakage, but they are glued on with silicone adhesive and they did a sloppy job, as seen in photo. There is no excuse for that, masking tape can be used to create a neat bead. The same trim is too long for the glass and offsets to one side which keeps the door open even more than design allowances, as seen in photo; a full 7/16 gap which also prevents the door from contacting the bumper. Further, errant silicone was found on one glass panel towards the middle on the frosted side which is impossible to remove completely. The frosted finish is not homogenous and makes the door look like it is covered with water spots. From a distance it is okay and I like the soft grey-green light as filtered through the glass. The top rail takes the weight of the doors and actually sags slightly giving the appearance of being out of level to a discerning eye. Be forewarned that the installed 2 doors have a space of 1 3/8 in. between them. However, there is sufficient overlap in my 59 inch width installation. The towel bars are strong enough but the fabrication of them was sloppy. When looking from end to end the out of alignment is obvious. Naturally they fit poorly. A half hour with diligent filing corrected the fit against the glass but they are less than true. The bottom door spacer guide caused the threshold to lean out of square. It is unforgiving and when taken apart some damage occurred necessitating me to use a fastener into the shower pan ledge, which really is not the best practice. But it is square now and quite secure. The wheels at the top do appear they will live longer than me and have enough friction so the door does not move too fast and slam against the wall. Personal preference; the medallions that trim the wheels could be 30% smaller and still hide the wheel. Finally, the "bolts" that attach the towel bars also act as a knob. They are less than 3/16 in. proud and a poor means of moving the door. No doubt it is a fingernail breaker for some. With the 1 3/8 in. space between doors, they could have at least provided a 1/2 inch long knob and still had a safety barrier against contact.

              Love the Kohler shower doors they look great and slide like silk The Kohler web site and instructions for instillation were easy to follow. My Home Depot store on Fields Ertel road in Cincinnati was great to deal with. The Kohler shipping web site provided terrific tracking on our doors. We love them. Not too be picky but during instillation I thought it would have been better to have a little longer bottom rail as the directions had me cut the rail about 3/4 of an inch smaller than the opening and I think that should have been just 1/4 inch to allow the bottom rail to fit inside the wall supports, also I added an anchor screw to the center floor bracket instead of the caulking which made the doors much more rigid when sliding which simply feels better. Love the clean shield , though we squeegee after showering, the doors never show any water spots. The towel bars make a nice support to hold onto when you want to steady yourself in the shower. We love the doors, Thanks

              Great looking, great value. Got the opaque glass so I don't have to squeegee. Very happy. Installation is straight forward. Only watch out is the threshold and center guide are held in place only by silicon. The instructions say to apply silicon only at the outside of the threshold. This did not work for me. I liberally applied also on the inside which is no issue.

              Already have recommended this Shower Door to other people. Being a self proclaimed DIY'er this was pretty easy to install. I remodeled my bathroom to remove a bathtub and build a walk in shower to prepare for my upcoming hip replacement surgery, my wife and I finished everything except the shower door install. After 3 weeks post surgery we thought we could now install the doors and it went relatively as described. My wife did most (95%) of the install with my help with alignment and leveling. VERY HAPPY with this install.
