A shower door assembly includes a swingable door panel mounted to a stationary side enclosure panel by a pair of hinge assemblies that are transversely adjustable to correct for out-of-plumb conditions. The hinge assemblies include pocketed stationary hinges capping the ends of the side panel and moveable hinges mounted to the door panel in a slidable slot and pin connection. The side panel is mountable to an enclosure wall by an upright wall jamb defining a track in which can slide a jamb pin disposed through the side panel. The wall jamb is shorter than the side panel and mounts accessory attachments at its upper end, such as a robe hook and a razor holder.

Shower door assembly

A towel bar attachable to bypass style shower doors. The towel bar has a support bar with two ends engaged with flanged escutcheons. The support bar and escutcheons are located at one side of a door with the escutcheons covering suitably sized and spaced apertures in the door. Two flanged fasteners are inserted into the door apertures from an opposite side of the door to mate with the bar ends. Tightening the fastener biases the flanges toward opposite surfaces of the door to secure the towel bar to the door. The fasteners each have a recessed grip defining handles for sliding the door from the side opposite that from which the bar projects.
