Shower Door Handles
Shower door handles and replacement shower handles for pivot, sliding and bifold shower enclosures. Handles loosen, snap, corrode or simply pull off when the adhesive bond fails. Replacement handles cost less than a new door panel and take ten minutes to fit. We supply back-to-back handles, D-handles, push-pull bars and knob handles in chrome, satin and brass finishes for current and older enclosures.

SHOWER DOOR HANDLES | BUYING GUIDE
Door Handle or Valve Handle? Quick Disambiguation
A common search confusion is worth resolving up front. The handle on the front of your shower valve, the lever or knob that turns water on and off and adjusts temperature, is a valve handle. It mounts to the valve body in the wall, with replacement levers and knobs stocked across our shower valve handles and levers range.
The handle on the shower enclosure door, the grip you pull to open or close the door, is the door handle. That is what this page covers.
Types of Shower Door Handles
-
Back-to-back handles
A matched pair, one on each side of the door, joined by bolts that pass straight through the glass. Common on pivot and walk-in shower doors. The most secure mounting type because the handle clamps the glass between two metal pieces.
-
D-handles
Single-sided pull handles, typically with two screw fixings into pre-drilled holes in the glass. Used on bifold doors, sliding doors and where a back-to-back handle would foul the door's swing into the wall or a fixed panel.
-
Push-pull and pull bars
Long straight or angled bars that span most of the door's height. Common on heavy walk-in panels and frameless enclosures, where the longer grip distributes the user's force across more of the glass.
-
Knob handles
Small round or oval handles, often a single point of contact rather than a full grip. Common on older sliding doors and on bifold inner panels where a long handle would not work.
Mounting and Hole Spacing
Almost every replacement starts with the centre-to-centre hole spacing on the existing door. Measure from the centre of one bolt or screw head to the centre of the next. Common UK spacings are 100mm, 130mm, 150mm and 200mm, with 130mm and 150mm the most frequent on domestic enclosures.
Note the hole diameter as well. UK shower handles typically use an 8mm or 10mm bolt or screw. If the existing fixings are missing, measure the hole diameter directly with a ruler or with the gauge on a Vernier caliper.
Toughened safety glass cannot be drilled after manufacture without shattering. If the door has no existing holes and no provision for a single-sided handle, the door panel cannot accept a new handle pattern, and the answer is either to match the existing fixings exactly or to look at the wider shower door parts range to see if a replacement panel suits the budget. Door handles are usually replaced alongside other moving parts of the enclosure, so it is worth checking shower door hinges and shower door pivot blocks at the same time, with valve and handset parts replaced in the same job covered across our shower spares range.
Shower Door Handle FAQs
How do I know if I need a door handle or a valve handle?
Door handles are the grip you use to pull or push the shower door open and shut. They are mounted directly to the glass. Valve handles are the lever or knob on the shower valve that controls water flow and temperature; they sit on a separate fitting in or on the wall. If the part you need controls water, see shower valve handles. If it opens the enclosure door, this is the right category.
Are shower door handles a standard size?
No, but many sizes overlap across UK brands. Common centre-to-centre hole spacings are 100mm, 130mm, 150mm and 200mm. Replacement handles list the centre-to-centre spacing they fit, so matching the existing hole pattern usually finds a working replacement even when the original brand is unknown.
Can I fit a back-to-back handle to a single-glass door?
Only if the door has a pair of through-glass holes already drilled and aligned, since a back-to-back handle bolts straight through the glass with one half on each side. If the door has no holes or only single-side fixings, fit a D-handle or knob instead. Drilling new holes in toughened safety glass is not safe in a domestic setting because toughened glass shatters when drilled.
How do I measure the hole spacing on my shower door?
Measure from the centre of one fixing hole to the centre of the next. Use a ruler or tape across the face of the door. If the existing handle is still in place, measure between the centres of the two visible bolt heads. Note the hole diameter as well, since most shower handles use either an 8mm or a 10mm bolt.
What finish should I match to my shower?
Match the door handle finish to the dominant metal in the rest of the enclosure: chrome handles for chrome-trimmed enclosures, satin handles for brushed nickel ranges, brass for traditional brass-trimmed sets. Matching the valve and shower head finish is more important than matching the door track or wall channel, since the handle is the part you touch and see most often.
