    Standing Shower Door Leak
    I have a standing shower door with brass frame which is leaking at the bottom and left side facing outside the door. Is there a way to adjust the door? Any suggestions?

    Is it leaking around the frame, or around the door in the track?

    If it's the former, you can probably solve the problem by running a bead of caulk around the edge of the frame on the inside (I'd do both inside and outside for the sake of completeness, but just the inside is necessary to stop the leak). Give the caulk a chance to dry (do this around noon, and don't use the shower again until morning should be more than sufficient), and you shouldn't have any more leaking.

    If it's the latter, make sure the track is clean, and that the door is sitting in it correctly... the door should slide easily in the track. Beyond that, I can't help, since I don't actually have experience fixing shower doors.
