Yes — sliding kits like Metro are among the easier DIY shower door types because the track does most of the alignment work. Plan 3 to 4 hours with basic tools. The hardest single step is leveling the top track; once that's right, the rollers and panels go in quickly.

A 4-foot level, tape measure, pencil, electric drill (with carbide masonry bit if mounting to tile), Phillips and flathead screwdrivers, silicone caulk gun, painter's tape, rubber mallet, and a helper for the glass-setting step. Anchors, screws, seals, and Chrome hardware are all in the kit. You supply 100% silicone (kitchen/bath grade).

First-time installers average 3 to 4 hours from unboxing to first water test. The longest single step is leveling and securing the top track — about 45 minutes if your wall is plumb, longer if you need to shim. No showering for 24 hours after install while silicone cures.

Yes — tile is the most common install scenario. Anchor through tile into wall studs or solid blocking using carbide-tipped drill bits on low speed. Confirm there's stud or blocking at hinge/bracket locations before drilling. Wavy tile or out-of-plumb walls add 30 to 60 minutes but require no tile work on your end.

The 60"×64" kit is sized for openings within typical wall variation. Per May 2026 catalog, this SKU fits wall openings from 56" to 60". Measure your opening width at three heights (top, middle, bottom) and use the smallest value — a 1/4" variation top to bottom is common. Pick a kit whose adjustable range covers your smallest measurement.

Custom Metro doors are fabricated to your exact opening. Custom adds 5 to 7 business days to the lead time. If you're between standard sizes, we'll often quote both routes (standard with shims plus custom) so you can compare.

Chrome is the most universal hardware finish — it matches most modern, traditional, and transitional bathroom fixtures including Moen, Delta, Kohler, and Grohe lines. The Chrome on the Metro kit comes color-matched across the hinges, handle, seals, and visible track.

Stainless-steel adjustable rollers with self-lubricating polymer bushings. Glide is silent once installed; you'll hear the bottom guide pop into the U-channel when you close the door, which is a soft mechanical click, not a grind. If you ever do hear a rumble, the rollers are user-adjustable for height — usually a 1/8-inch tweak fixes it.

Yes — Metro is fully reversible at install. You decide left-open or right-open when you mount the rollers. If you want to flip the direction later, the rollers can be swapped without ordering new hardware.

The header and bottom tracks are open at both ends so debris flushes out with shower water. Once a month, wipe the inside of the header track with a damp microfiber and a 50/50 vinegar-water mix; same for the bottom guide channel. The track is anodized aluminum so the cleaning won't damage the finish.

Yes. The 60-by-64-inch size is built for a standard 5-foot (60-inch) alcove tub, the most common bathtub in U.S. homes. The 64-inch height covers the tub opening without running floor-to-ceiling like a walk-in door. Measure your tub's wall-to-wall width to confirm you land in the 56 to 60 inch range.

Yes. The panels overlap and the bottom track guides splash back toward the tub, while the side jamb seals against the wall. For a tub-shower, run the water with the sliding panel closed on the showerhead side and the spray stays in the tub.

DIY-installed Metro kits include a 1-year warranty on glass, hardware, seals, and Chrome finish. Covers manufacturing defects and finish degradation under normal use. Doesn't cover damage from improper install (over-tightened hardware, wrong anchor type) — call our DIY support line if you have questions before drilling.

In-stock kits ship within 2 business days. Standard ground freight runs 3 to 5 business days within the lower 48. Total door-to-door is typically 1 to 2 weeks.

The Metro ships in 2 boxes — one foam-padded crate for the glass panels (~85 lbs total) and one for Chrome hardware. The longer box is roughly 78×8×4 inches and fits through a standard door.

Inspect the boxes at delivery. If you see crushed corners or visible damage, photograph and refuse the delivery — we replace the kit at no charge. If you discover damage after opening, contact us within 48 hours of delivery.

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.

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.

DIY saves roughly $400 to $700 on the total project versus our professional install option for Metro. You're trading 2 to 4 hours of your time for that savings. Pro install includes measurement, fabrication, and labor with a 3-year warranty; DIY is hardware-warranty only.

Yes — for orders over 5 kits, contact us for trade pricing. We also offer Pro accounts for contractors and bulk-purchase customers.

Hardware is replaceable — call us within 1 year(s) of purchase under the DIY warranty. Glass damage during install isn't covered; always use the suction-cup glass handler if included or have a helper for the glass-setting step.

DIY is 1-year hardware. Professionally installed by Dulles Glass is 3-year hardware AND labor. The DIY trade-off: you save the install cost in exchange for a shorter warranty window and no labor coverage.

A step-by-step install video is referenced on the printed instructions (QR code) and on our YouTube channel. The Metro walkthrough runs about 15 to 20 minutes for the full install.

Yes — live phone, text, and video support 8am–8pm ET, 7 days a week. Best to call before drilling permanent holes if anything is unclear.

Most install steps are reversible. The U-channel can be re-anchored (filling old screw holes with caulk). Hinges and brackets can be re-mounted. The only step that's permanent is drilling — measure twice before drilling.
