How to Measure for an Arizona Shower Door
Door Only
One of the first things to consider before you start to measure is to determine where on the curb (base or pan) that the center line of your door will sit.
For example, if your curb is 4" wide and you want your door to line up in the center of the curb, your center line will be at 2". View Example 1.0 for visual representation.
If you would like the center line to be closer to the outside of the shower enclosure, measure one end of the curb to the distance that you would like and then measure the same distance on the opposite side. For example, with a 4" wide curb you could measure 1" in from the left outside and then do the same for the right outside side.
Next measure the length of the curb from the left center line to the right center line. View Example 1.2 for visual example. The next step is to determine the height of the shower door. Arizona Shower Door recommends using one of the Stock heights for a door only. For a semi-frameless door with a metal bottom (CDM, CDMP, and CDFMP) or (MP a semi-framless door with a Polycarbonate bottom) use one of the following heights: 66 3/16" or 72 3/16". The (R and RPA semi-frameless door with a Polycarbonate bottom) use one of the following heights: 65 9/16" or 72 9/16". Fora fully Framed Door (FD) use on of the following heights: 67 5-16" or 73 5/16". View Example 1.3 for visual example.
If you wish to have a different height the cost will increase because of custom sizes. Please talk with a sales associate to determine what is available to you. To ensure that the shower door is built correctly see the "Things to Consider" section of this page.
Door With 180° Inline
For Curb and centerline measurements refer to "Door Only" instructions. The next step is to determine the width of the door opening and the height of the shower enclosure. Arizona Shower Door recommends using one of the stock heights: 69" or 75". If you wish to have a different overall height the cost will increase because of custom sizes. The Door width can range from 22"-36". Arizona Shower Door recommends a 28"-30" door width as this is a stock width that will fit the function and overall look of a Door Inline Enclosure.

Door With 90°/135° Custom Angle Return
For instructions on how to determine centerline measurements refer to "Door Only" instructions. After determining where the centerline of your shower will be on the tile you will need to determine where the centerline is at the point of your return. View Figure 3.0 for visual example. The easiest in from the point of return, and mark the centerline. Do the same thing for the centerline closest to the nearest wall along the same curb. View Figure 3.1for visual example. Use a straight edge or a level and align the two centerline marks with the edge of the level or straight edge. Using a wax pencil, draw a line that will cross the point of the return. View Figure 3.3for visual example.
The next step is to determine the height of the shower enclosure. To do this simply measure from the curb to the top of the showerhead, and decide on a height that you like. Arizona Shower Door recommends using on e of the stock heights: 69" or 75" and should fit most designs. View Figure 3.0for visual example. If you wish to have a different overall height the cost will increase because of custom sizes. Please talk with a sales associate to determine what is available to you.
