My bathtub/shower has hinged doors with rubber strips on the bottom, very fit when you close the door. Would this make the doors close easier?

I would imagine so. I got it for my keyboard, but have also used it along the bottom of my patio door.

It probably will, but, my guess is that you will need to reapply it often. But, it is a big can so you can afford to do that. And, you can always return it if you are dissatisfied.

Its kind of hard to say. Just how hard is the door to close? The product is very slippery but would wash off in no time.Then when you spray it on there it would land on the floor and create a slippery condition there.Can the door be adjusted up at all?How about trimming the strip very carefully.I used this product on car door gaskets during winter to stop sticking from ice and inside the door locks. Works fine there. Good luck but by all means, still try it cause there is still a ton of uses for it around the house.

It will not hold the door firmly in one place like a door stop. It can be set to swing the door open or swing the door closed. You can adjust how fast and hard it does this with a set screw. I use one of these hinges in the center of my junky, builder's grade pressed cardboard bathroom door and it gently swings it closed. You can use multiple hinges and set the tension higher for heavier doors or for a more forceful close. Basically, it's just a door hinge with a coil spring on the pin. There is no mechanism on the hinge itself to lock the door in one position. You are just adjusting the tension to open or close the hinge. I think it works well for it's intended purpose.

This shower chair is designed to extend outside the tube over top the side. There is no way to close a shower door if this is installed. If you want to close a shower door, you may want to look at the smaller one with the transfer bench.

Yes. Leave the door in a closed position and screw the strip to the sill so it just contacts the door all of the way around the door (except the bottom) and you will have an effective seal

Yes, the hinges can be taken apart and configured to do that, but that would make it a bit odd to get in and out of the tub, I think. I like it swinging outward because it allows me to turn on the water without climbing in.

Depending on the size of your bathroom and if you have a large open area surrounding the tub you should have an easier time

Yes it really does. it's not difficult to put togather.it may require roller catches at the bottom of the doors to keep them lined up. No big deal.

It's supposed to fit all bi-fold doors. There's a plastic shim included for smaller sizes. It fits all my doors - closet, kitchen, etc. To slide - easier just to reach up and slide the thing over instead of using the handle. It does keep the doors closed - works very well. I use it to keep the cats out of the closets.

The hangers that fit over the door are very sturdy, but thin. I had no problem closing my bedroom door. I guess it depends on how tightly your door fits the frame.

I suppose it would depend on how snug the door is to the frame. My doors still close just fine. The little hangers can't be more than 1/8th of an inch thick, so it would have to be a pretty snug door to cause a problem.

I don't have a shower door either -- tired of trying to keep the glass and the gutters clean! I was going to say that there was a flat edge, but at one point it narrows to about 2 inches before it slopes down so you'd have to be careful of the width of the frame. But just to be sure, I pulled out a level. It turns out that the flat edge does have a slight slope to it. I'm not sure how much leeway you have when installing glass doors, but the flat edge isn't perfectly level. Love the tub, though! Nice and deep, especially if you get the higher overflow thingy.

Door doesn't close with the pull up bar in place. I have it on my closet door so it doesn't need to close, but you should be prepared to take the bar down to close the door.

the tension / spring of the closing mechanism is not so strong that the door not opened wide will automatically be closed. But that said, I don't think you could leave the door open with a 6 inch gap without some trials and adjustments

Hank, the bottom anti water strip helps to prevent the door from swinging inward. When the door is closed and the vinyl of that sweep touches the tub edge it creates friction that stops the door from over-closing into the tub area.

Yes, the Tubby Door may be slightly larger that what you specified. It is an excellent door; however, the magnet that is supposed to keep it closed is too weak to do so. Even a mild breeze will keep it open. If you have it located in an area that will not have any breeze blowing on it, then it should be OK.

It will close the edges if there's a space between the door and frame. The seal is good and tight. I use it because I'm a smoker and don't want to spread the smell around. Works great for that.

No, I don't think this hinge will prevent the door from slamming. It's spring just pushes the door to close, and you can adjust it so that it pushes not too hard to minimize slamming. But I guess wind would still cause it to slam - you need a different type of device to prevent that.
