Of course I figured if mine was a touch larger or smaller price could change a bit. Bottom line they doubled price when they came over. When I spoke to them about no way they could justify that, they coped an attitude and I said ok I will go somewhere else their response was SOUNDS GOOD. ! Do not like when given one price in store, double it when u come in our home and then are rude and even deny u gave me the original price.
I installed a thick plate-glass, tempered door in my shower, the sort you see in fine hotels. The door was about 32” wide, and there was a side panel about a foot wide. It was all about 6’ high, and I could barely lift the door. One thing I learned from putting it in myself is that a door that heavy has to be mounted on several studs sistered together. (If the weight makes the wall pull out 1/8”, the door doesn’t fit.) Fortunately, I discovered this when the walls were all bare studs, so adding the 2x4 sisters was easy. However. If your shower has a lightweight glass door and you want a heavy door, a lot of expensive surgery could be necessary, including ripping out some tile. I think they may have sensed that you would not be an easy person to deal with. Some are and some aren’t.
