Good Fit
Is the 48"×76" Metro right for you?
The Metro DIY kit is the same frameless single sliding shower door as our installed builds - one fixed glass panel beside one sliding panel that glides on a top-mounted stainless-steel header track. Because the door slides instead of swinging, it never arcs into the room, which makes Metro the configuration built for standard tub and alcove openings where a hinged door would hit the vanity or wall. Same 3/8" tempered glass, same stainless-steel hardware, same factory nano-coating - you just handle the install in 2-4 hours with a helper and save the install premium. Wider opening (60"+) that needs dual entry? Eclipse - a bypass slider with two moving panels - may be the better fit.
Family bathroom remodels
Your opening is a standard tub-shower or alcove, roughly 46-60" wide.
Bathtub conversions
You want a clean, frameless look with a flush, hardware-light profile.
Compact master baths
A swinging door would block the vanity or toilet - or you're comfortable with a two-person, 2-4 hour install to save on labor.

Install Notes
DIY install — what to expect
Most homeowners install the Metro in 2-4 hours with a helper. Metro runs on a single-slider layout - one fixed panel and one sliding panel on a top-mounted stainless-steel header track. The rollers are adjustable and the install is reversible, so the panel can be trued after mounting and set to open from the left or right. The kit includes a printed step-by-step guide and a QR-code install video - and free phone/text/video support if anything looks off. Plan for two people: the trickiest step is lifting the glass into place.
- 1
Mount the header track and bottom guide
Anchor the top header track to the studs or substrate using the included template, then set the bottom guide so the sliding panel tracks straight.
- 2
Set the fixed glass panel
Seat the fixed glass panel against the wall jamb and secure it plumb so the sliding panel has a true reference to glide against.
- 3
Hang the sliding panel and adjust the glide
Hang the sliding panel on its rollers, then fine-tune the adjustable rollers until it glides smoothly and sits even against the fixed panel.
- 4
Run seals, silicone, and cure
Fit the vertical seals and bottom sweep, silicone the wall joints, and let it cure 24 hours before the first shower.

Compare to Eclipse
Metro vs. Eclipse
Metro is a single-slider with one fixed panel and one sliding panel - built for standard tub and alcove openings (about 46-60" wide). Eclipse is a bypass slider with two sliding panels and dual entry, for wider openings (60"+) where a single slider would block half the entry.

Q&A
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Metro 48"×76" fit my shower opening?
The 48"×76" Metro kit is sized for openings within typical wall variation. This SKU fits wall openings from 46" to 48" (per May 2026 catalog). Measure your opening width at three heights (top, middle, bottom) and use the smallest value. A 1/4 inch variation top to bottom is common and the kit's adjustability covers it.
Which finish should I choose?
Chrome is the most universal and pairs with most fixtures. Brushed Nickel hides water spots and pairs with warm-tone bathrooms. Matte Black suits modern/industrial designs. Satin Brass adds warmth and develops a subtle patina over years. Click any finish card above to see that specific variant's page with the full configurator.
What thickness glass does the Metro 48"×76" use?
This Metro kit uses 3/8" tempered clear glass — meets ANSI Z97.1 safety standards.
What if I need a different Metro size?
For sizes outside our in-stock Metro options, we fabricate custom shower doors to your exact opening — typically 5 to 7 business days. Click "Continue to Customizer" on any finish page to start a custom build.
What tools do I need to install the 48"×76" Metro?
4-foot level, tape measure, drill (carbide masonry bit for tile), Phillips and flathead screwdrivers, silicone caulk gun, painter's tape, rubber mallet, and a helper for the glass-setting step. All anchors, screws, and seals are in the kit.
How long does Metro 48"×76" take to ship and install?
In stock — ships within 2 business days from our U.S. warehouses. Free pickup at either location, $95 local delivery within 30 miles, or $300 flat nationwide shipping to the lower 48. Most kits arrive within 5 to 7 business days. DIY install takes 2 to 4 hours with a helper. Plan 24 hours of silicone cure time before the first shower.
How is the Metro 48"×76" kit packaged?
The kit ships in 2 boxes — one foam-padded crate for the glass panels (~85 lbs total for 48"×76") and one for hardware. The longer box is roughly 78 inches and fits through a standard door.
Do you ship to all 50 states?
Yes — standard ground shipping to all 48 contiguous states is $300 flat per enclosure. Free pickup also available at our U.S. warehouses, or $95 local delivery within 30 miles of either warehouse. Alaska and Hawaii are available with a freight surcharge; contact us for a quote.
Is glass type an upcharge?
Clear is the standard glass at the listed price. HD Low-Iron, Gray, Bronze, Rain, and Frosted glass each carry different upcharges depending on size. Selecting a glass type updates the price live at checkout.
How does DIY pricing compare to professional install?
DIY 48"×76" Metro saves roughly $400 to $700 vs professional install. You're trading 2 to 4 hours of your time for that savings. Pro install includes measurement, fabrication-to-fit, in-home installation, and a 3-year parts+labor warranty (vs 1-year DIY hardware-only).
What warranty comes with the Metro kit?
DIY-installed Metro kits include a 1-year warranty on glass, hardware, seals, and finish under normal use. Manufacturing defects are covered. Damage from improper install or wrong anchor type is not — call our DIY support line if you have questions before drilling.
Where can I find install help for the Metro 48"×76"?
Live phone, text, and video support 8am-5pm ET, 7 days a week. Step-by-step install video referenced on the printed instructions (QR code) and on our YouTube channel. Best to call before drilling permanent holes if anything is unclear.
