Shower Door Handles

Q: Which side should a shower door handle be on?

This will depend on what side your shower door opens from. You should attach the handle to the opposite side of the door that contains the shower door hinges. Some people also like keeping the handle on the same side as their dominant hand. For example, if you’re right handed, keep the handle on the right, when facing in the shower.

Q: What size should a shower door handle be?

Shower door handles can range in size. In Australia, most standard door handles are between 15-20 cm, but you can get larger shower door handles for low mobility users that range up to 30 cm.

Shower door handles are fixtures on a shower door that allows the individual to open and close it effortlessly. While shower doors are highly functional, they can also showcase your design, colour and style preferences.

Types of shower door handles

Shower door pull handles

As the name suggests, shower door pull handles allow you to pull open your shower door. They can be placed on one side of the shower door, or both.

Shower door knobs

In Australia, shower door knobs are usually made from materials like plastic or aluminium. Their small and simple design provides a discreet way to open shower doors.

Large shower door handles

Large shower door handles are great for individuals with low mobility or physical disabilities as they have a large surface grip area, and are usually non-slip.

The advantages of high-quality shower door handles

Getting in and out of your shower should be effortless, and high-quality glass shower door handles ensure you won’t be scrambling for the door. High-quality shower door handles are more likely to be resistant to rust and corrosion as they are made from superior materials like premium-grade stainless steel. This is important due to their daily exposure to water, soap and other washing liquids. They also have specific details and design features that allow you to grip it with ease, even if your hands are wet or soapy. In Australia, high-quality shower handles are manufactured to a very high standard, meaning you won’t have to worry about handles falling out or needing replacement every year.

How to choose shower door handles that are right for you

When choosing shower door handles, take into account your design preferences, mobility of bathroom users and what type of shower door you have. For example, some shower doors have shower door hinges that swing both inside and out. In this case, shower door knobs are sufficient as the individual can also press against the door to exit. However, for shower doors that slide back and forth or bathrooms used by people of low mobility, larger door pull handles will streamline the process for optimal safety. If you want to keep your entire bathroom cohesive, you can match the style, colour and material type of the shower door to your existing shower hardware and bathroom accessories. Add shower door seals to prevent water from leaking out of the shower enclosure and onto the bathroom floor.

Can you change handles on glass shower doors?

Yes, you can change handles on glass shower doors. Keep in mind that glass can have dirt or limescale build up from the previous handle, so give it a good clean before installing a new one. Most glass shower doors have long “D” shaped handles.
