Our glass shower door handle has been loose for awhile now, and it needed to be fixed. So with a little research, and about 10 minutes, I was able to tighten the handle myself (DIY style)! It was quick, easy, and saved us some money- not hiring out! So I wanted to share the process with you in case you’re having the same problem/issue at your own house. Let’s get to it! How to Tighten Frameless Shower Handle (in 4 Easy Steps)!

How to Tighten Frameless Shower Handle (in 4 Easy Steps)
Supplies:
- Allen Wrench – here or here
- Phillips Screwdriver
- Shower Handle – similar here
I also recommend using a bath rug/towel – (something soft underneath in case the shower handle falls off) while working.
And yes – you’ll notice that I did NOT clean my shower ahead of time – haha! So these pics are not as clear as they should be 😉
Ok, carry on!

Ok, let’s get to it! How to Tighten Frameless Shower Handle (in 4 Easy Steps)!
4 Easy Steps
Step 1) Loosen Small Screws On Handle
The first thing you will do is use your Allen Wrench tool and loosen the small screws on the INSIDE handle.
- I had to use both of the tools because my honey might have overtightened them when trying to fix this 😉
- But you might just need one of these tools.
- Mine was the 2nd smallest – just a fyi.

Here are some pictures so you can see what these screws look like:
- in = tightened
- out = loosened

To loosen – turn LEFT.
You might have to play around with the Allen wrench – until it “fits” just right into the screw. Just don’t turn too aggressively – so that you don’t strip the screw.
My handle had 4 small screws, and you will loosen all 4 of them.

Step 2) Remove Inside Shower Handle
Now you will remove the inside shower handle – carefully.
- FYI – the 4 small screws will remain in the handle.

I just laid my handle onto our bath rug.

Step 3) Tighten Large Screws W/ Screwdriver
Then you will take your Phillips Screwdriver and tighten both of those 2 larger screws.
To tighten – turn RIGHT.
You will also want to make sure that the outside handle is straight at this point – while you are tightening it.

Step 4) Attach Handle/Tighten Small Screws
Now it’s time to attach the inside handle and tighten those 4 small screws with your Allen wrench.
To tighten – turn RIGHT.

You are Done!! Easy Peasy!!
Well, I might have to actually clean the shower now – LOL. And then I’ll be done 😉
Have a Great Week!
Love & Hugs 🙂
