My Mom's shower door opening is 27". Will I have enough clearance for her knees?

That depends on how straight she sits-up in the chair, how long her upper leg is, and how much floor space the shower affords greater than 27 inches -- the bench legs angle out in all directions to provide improved stability. You need more than 27 inches in the shower, but that provided, most people of average height should be able to make it through the 27 inch opening. Anyway, you can use the slide function while both of the directional locks are unlocked -- this allows some useful directional weaving to obtain greater flexibility in movements. Go for it. Certainly the whole operation is easier than getting in and out of a cheap airline seat!

Yes, her knees should fit. The seat measures 16 inches from back to front. You may consider taking off door and replacing it with a shower curtain to make it easier especially if she needs assistance.

You will need just 27" for her to walk into the bathtub/shower before she can sit down on the seat which would be behind the opening and add another 20" . In other words your opening has to be at least 50" to have enough room to move around to sit down. The seat has to position itself over the edge of the bathtub and 27" won't do it. It won't work with all four legs sitting in the bathtub. Or have the seat fold down from the wall. Old people don't like tight spaces or wiggly stuff but like lots of handle bars. My mom had plenty of room but would not use the seat. JJK

Yes, the distance is 27.5", which gives a 4" clearance between the two grids when parallel to the cross brace.

Yes, it will go through the opening and into the space. However, I doubt it will work should you have bi-fold doors. My 30-inch stall shower has a single glass door and the chair is approx. 22x21. The only problem is, once inside, there is very little room to maneuver. It will work much better in a double-size shower or perhaps in a tub/shower combination. Although it's a very nice product, I would not buy again for a 30-inch shower.

Kay, DreamLine offers the Unidoor in sizes ranging from 23" to 60". My recommendation would be to measure your finished opening at the top, middle and bottom and then call the DreamLine Technical Support Line to discuss what door will work for you. We can be reached at 866-731-2244 and are happy to help you with your shower door selection.

Since it was intended for a "standard" 60" shower/tub enclosure I wouldn't want to stray to far from that measurement. Due to the curvature of the bar it would start looking "off" if you closed the adjustment too much. In theory you can close the adjustment to a total width of approximately 33" but again I think you will end up with a non-symmetrical curve.

Mine opens only partway since molding interferes and it opens 10". That's plenty of room to get inside. To open all the way you would need 11" minimum from toilet, I think. Mine is not right next to toilet. Hope this helps.

My cabinet is a 27 inch with the internal part of the cabinet at 25.5 inch and it fit. You would be just fine since you are a little bigger. Its a great sink and love the rack that comes with it.

I don't see why not. The top and bottom rail have to be cut to fit a "normal" shower. I think the rails are over 60" long. The only thing will be how much the doors overlap, the doors are 30 inches wide, so you would only have a 23 inch hole to climb thru. When closed the doors will overlap like 7 inches. My doors overlap about 2.

Our door was 30 inches. The height was not an issue. We just turned it sideways

The maximum width that this door will work for is 24-1/8". If you are over that at any spot, you risk the door not reaching the L-shaped strip that the door closes against. If you have any questions about measuring or if the Unidoor will work for your opening, please do not hesitate to call the DreamLine Technical Support Line at 866-731-2244. We are happy to help you with your shower door selection.

The feet are adjustable and the door is flush with the unit at exactly 34". I had no problems with the door opening or installation and my counters were exactly 34" as well.

Just looked. The area over our shower door is about 5/8 in. It fits solidly over this. A shower bar is probably too wide and the overhang of the caddy too short.

My mother-in law is 4' 8". She loves it. We got two. Fits through bathroom doorways.

I will have to measure when I get home. There is a lot of room, but 27" may be the limit.

My opening is 27 x 16 3/4 and there's more than an inch of foam bumper on the sides so it should fit.

Sorry this took so long. It is down on my dock and I have been having knee problems. Door opening is 24 inches. Door takes a little jockeying around to install. Does not open and close smoothly, but works. I am happy with shed For me it had to fit in a certain space. This was the only one I could find in this size. Most were larger. If I was putting it out in the open, I would get something sturdier. But if it is next to a sturdy structure I think it will be fine. For me it was the right size, right price and is working well for storage on my dock. Not hard to put together except getting the door right is a little challenging.

The shower rod should be fine at 51 inches. I believe that where it meets in the middleit is adjustable. The white shower rod has been up over a year and it is as nice as the day we installed it. It provides more elbow room in the shower and I am very happy with this. It looks great too!
