Glass Shower Door Won't Stay Closed? Use Magnetic Seals
Frameless doors have no latch, so a door that drifts open leaks. Magnetic seals hold the door against the panel and seal the gap at the same time.
Which magnetic seal?
Magnetic seals pressure fit onto the glass edge, and a strip goes on both the door and the panel so the magnets meet. Choose by glass thickness and by the profile angle that matches how your door meets the panel; each product page has a drawing of the profile.
| Profile | 3/8"–1/2" glass | 1/4"–5/16" glass |
|---|---|---|
| 45° left-hand | CRL PMA10 | CRL PMA8 |
| 45° right-hand | CRL PMB10 | CRL PMB8 |
| 90° | CRL PMC10 | CRL PMC8 |

Before you buy: check the hinges
If the door swings open by itself, a hinge may be out of adjustment, or the door is not level. Magnetic seals hold a door that is close to shut; they will not fight a door that wants to swing wide open.

Common questions
Do magnetic shower door seals work on frameless doors?
Yes. They are made for frameless doors that close against a glass panel.
Where do magnetic seals go?
On the door edge and on the panel edge it closes against, so the magnets pull the two together.
Will magnetic seals work against a wall?
They are made for glass to glass. For a door that closes against a wall, use an 'H' wipe or a tape-on seal.
