## Glass cut-out

This hinge needs a mouse-ear notch 2-1/2" long x 1-11/16" deep, holes 2-1/4" apart in the tempered glass, per CRL's template. Tempered glass can't be cut after it's made, so a replacement hinge has to fit the cut-out already in your glass.

**What glass cut-out does it need?**

A mouse-ear notch 2-1/2" long x 1-11/16" deep, holes 2-1/4" apart, per CRL's glass template. Tempered glass can't be cut after it's made, so a replacement hinge has to fit the cut-out already in your glass.

The part that clamps onto the glass is 3-1/2" x 2-3/16" (tall x wide).

**How many hinges do I need?**

This is one hinge. Most doors hang on two; two of these hold a door up to 80 lb and 28" wide, three hold up to 120 lb.

**What finishes does it come in?**

Brushed Nickel. Match the finish of the hinges and other hardware on your shower.

**Can I return it?**

No. All sales are final, so please check your [glass thickness](https://idealshowerdoors.com/store/measure), glass cut-out and finish before you order.

Replacing a handle?

### Match your holes, glass and finish.

Measure center to center between your existing holes and check your glass thickness. A new handle has to match both.
