Review on Stainless Steel Brushed Nickel 90 Degree Glass Door Cupboard Showcase Cabinet Clamp Wall-To-Glass Hinge Replacement Part For Heavy Duty Glass Shower Doors. by Kyle Robinson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Worst. Hinges. Ever.

First off, I'm guessing the positive reviews haven't used them long enough to experience the full joy in these shiny little practical jokes. I installed four in my custom walk in shower. Worked great. Until it didn't. The rubber grip kept slipping and allowing the glass doors to sag to the point of hitting each other. Re tightened multiple times to the point of stripping the hex head screws. Still sagging. Then came the rust. Did I mention RUST?! Now I realize that I didn't pay for the best hinge available, but what manufacturer puts a mild steel spring inside a shower door hinge without adding a little nickel (aka stainless steel)? The rust got so bad that my marble threshold got stained with rust. So to sum it up. for the $52 I spent on the four hinges I got: rust stains on my marble, lost time for multiple reinstallations, and having to buy the most expensive hinges available to match the holes cut out for these piles of excrement. Bonus? A wife who had patiently endured two years of living in a tiny, moldy rental shack while I personally built our home - who then had to deal with non-working shower doors off and on for the better part of a year while I looked for replacements to match cutouts. Would I recommend these? Yes.I would recommend them to salesmen who cheat old ladies. And to politicians (all of them). Oh, and to rich, exotic prince's who want to give me lots of money after I give them my bank account info. And to whoever owns those robo-calling telemarketing companies trying to sell health care insurance. Did I miss anyone who you would wish these on? If so, by all means let me know so I can add to the list. In the meantime run, don't walk, from these pieces of junk.

Pros
  • Great hinges, stronger than the ones it replaced 👍🏼
Cons
  • May not fit perfectly on cabinet doors
