I need to install a door but the tile is off by 1" from the top to the bottom? Is there an easy workaround for this?
thanks, Dean

There are ways to deal with this. It isn't as easy as telling you what to do. Easiest thing is find a shower door that allows 1" out of plumb. They are out there. This is not end of world - it happens. – DMoore Oct 16 at 16:22

That is way out of plumb... but don't worry, there are solutions. You need a shower enclosure that has 2-piece side frames. They are designed so that the outer piece that the door(s) butt up against when closed can be adjusted by sliding them into a "U" shaped channel that attaches to the tile:

so I may be ok then? I think each side may be off by 1/2 inch, and that added up to an inch!!! it did say 'per side' there!!! so I may be barely ok. – Dean Hiller Oct 16 at 13:14

@DeanHiller, since it is such a big gap, it should be easy to use a 4' level and see how bad each side is. You could then know with relative certainty if one side was way off or if each side was off. – JPhi1618 Oct 16 at 14:28
