C-shaped Shower Door Handle Replacement

Giriş

This fast-fix teaches you how to repair a loose or "broken" C-shaped shower door handle, also called “back to back” or "C-pulls."

Many C-shaped handles are secured to the shower door by flat plastic washers. When these washers shift or warp, they can loosen the handle over time, causing it to eventually fall completely off the door.

This repair can seem intimidating because the handle design appears to be soldered on, and the installation screws are not clearly visible. However, the repair is quite quick and easy with some simple tools and inexpensive parts.

Note: Some shower handles require different sizes of washers and may have slightly larger or smaller installation (socket head cap) screws. While this fix specifies a 2.5 mm Allen wrench and 3/4" plastic washers, you should confirm the size of the tools and parts you will need for your specific shower handle before beginning.
