Wholesale Top and Bottom Shower Door Pivots FAQ
Are top and bottom shower pivots interchangeable?
Do not assume they are interchangeable. Confirm the function, mounting position and matching components specified for the pivot model. Review the glass preparation and support arrangement for the complete door. Send the door drawing and mounting details to LOIRE before selecting the top and bottom components.
What supports the door in this pivot arrangement?
The door relies on the specified pivot assembly, fixings and supporting structure. Confirm which pivot carries the weight and how the top and bottom connections are supported. Any header, fixed panel or base used in the design must meet the model’s installation requirements. Review the complete arrangement when assessing door support.
What information is needed to select a shower door pivot?
Provide the glass thickness, door dimensions and weight, opening direction and available mounting surfaces. Include a drawing of the top and bottom connections. These details help the technical team review the pivot arrangement, required glass preparation and clearances for the selected model.
How do top and bottom pivots differ from side-mounted shower hinges?
Top and bottom pivots position the turning points near the upper and lower edges of the door. Side-mounted hinges attach along a vertical door edge. These layouts can require different supports, glass preparation and clearances. Choose the arrangement that fits the enclosure design and the selected hardware’s rated door limits.
Where can I check the glass preparation for a shower door pivot?
Request the glass preparation drawing for the exact pivot model and mounting layout from LOIRE. Confirm any required holes or cutouts, their dimensions, edge distances and installation gaps before glass fabrication. Have the glass fabricator work from the specified dimensions. A drawing for another pivot model may not match.
How does the pivot position affect door clearance?
The pivot position sets the path the door follows as it opens. It can affect clearance around walls, handles, towel bars and seals, as well as the usable entry opening. Check the full swing path and required top and bottom gaps on the layout drawing. Use only pivot positions allowed for the selected model.
Does a shower door pivot automatically provide self-closing or soft-closing?
No. A pivot describes how the door turns. Self-closing, hold-open and hydraulic damping depend on the selected model’s mechanism. Confirm the closing range, opening limits and any speed control before ordering. If your project needs soft closing, ask LOIRE to review that requirement with the complete door design.
Are top and bottom pivots supplied as a complete set?
Confirm the scope of supply in the quotation. Ask whether the price and quantity refer to an individual pivot or a matched top and bottom set. Check which mounting parts, gaskets and fixings are included, and which must be ordered separately. Use the parts list for the approved door arrangement.
Which finishes are available for shower door pivots?
Available finishes vary by model. For example, the L-5331 is available in Brushed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Polished Chrome, Matte Black, Satin Brass and other finishes. Custom finishes may also be available upon request. Please contact LOIRE to confirm the available options for your selected model. If you need the pivots to match handles, clamps or other shower hardware, you can provide a finish reference or physical sample for evaluation.
Can LOIRE supply shower door pivots for bulk orders and OEM projects?
Yes. LOIRE supports OEM/ODM requests based on drawings, samples and project requirements. Send the required model or drawing, quantity, finish, and any branding or packaging needs. Changes to materials or structure require technical review. Confirm samples, order quantity and lead time in the quotation.
