A frameless shower door hardware kit is the full set of metal parts needed to build one glass shower: hinges, glass clamps, a handle, a support bar and seals, matched to the layout and glass thickness. HIPAD makes these kits for 8–12 mm tempered glass in one finish, packed per shower or in bulk. Distributors, shower enclosure makers, glass processors and contractors in 60+ countries buy complete kits or single components from our factory under their own brand.
A shower door hardware kit, also called a shower enclosure hardware set or shower system, brings every fitting for one frameless shower into a single order. The door hangs on shower hinges. Fixed panels are held by glass clamps or a U-channel. A support bar keeps tall panels rigid, and a handle plus seals finish the door.
Buying the parts as one kit means the hinge angles, clamp types, hole positions and finish all match. Glass processors can cut and drill the glass to one hardware standard, and installers get one box per bathroom. The contents change with the layout, which is why this page lists a bill of materials (BOM) for each common shower. In Spanish-speaking markets the same set is often called herrajes para mampara de baño or kit de herrajes para cancel de baño.
Every HIPAD kit is built from our own component ranges, so you can mix a standard kit with custom parts. Each part below links to its full product page with specifications.
Wall-to-glass and glass-to-glass hinges at 90°, 135° and 180°, with self-closing and long heavy-duty versions. Two hinges carry a standard door.
Wall-to-glass, glass-to-glass and floor clamps hold every fixed panel. A standard panel uses two clamps on the wall edge and two on the floor.
Back-to-back pull handles, knobs and flush pulls fixed through a hole in the door glass. Shower handles are usually 300–600 mm long.
A support bar (stabilizer bar) ties the top of a fixed panel to a wall or ceiling so it cannot flex when the door closes. Connectors join the bar to glass at 90°, 135° or 180°.
PVC seals close the gaps at the bottom of the door and along the edges. Magnetic seals pull the door shut against a fixed panel.
For sliding showers the kit changes: rollers, a top track, stoppers, a floor guide and a flush handle replace hinges. We supply full sliding systems.
Quick answer: a frameless shower with one door and one fixed panel needs 2 hinges, 4 glass clamps (or a U-channel), 1 handle, 1 support bar and a set of seals. The plan views and table below show the typical kit for each common layout.

Send your layout sketch with glass sizes. We return a kit list with part numbers, quantities and hole positions for the glass processor.
Order every part in a kit for the same glass thickness. Tempered glass weighs about 2.5 kg per m² per millimeter, so 10 mm glass weighs 25 kg/m² and 12 mm glass 30 kg/m².
| Component | 8 mm glass | 10 mm glass | 12 mm glass | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shower hinges | Yes | Yes | Yes | Long heavy-duty hinges for 10–12 mm doors |
| Glass clamps | Yes | Yes | Yes | Some models up to 14 mm |
| Handles & knobs | Yes | Yes | Yes | Screw length set to glass thickness |
| Support bar connectors | By model | Yes | Yes | Most connectors are made for 10–12 mm glass |
| Standard PVC seals | Yes | Yes | Yes | 6–12 mm profiles |

| Buyer | Usually orders |
|---|---|
| Hardware distributor / wholesaler | Standard kits in 2–3 best-selling finishes, private-label boxes |
| Shower enclosure manufacturer | Bulk hinges and clamps to one hole standard, custom finishes |
| Glass processor / fabricator | Components matched to their drilling templates |
| Contractor / developer | Project kits packed per bathroom, one finish for the whole project |
| Brand owner (OEM) | Private molds, logo engraving, branded kit packaging |
A mixed kit from several suppliers rarely matches: a "black" hinge and a "black" handle can differ in shade and gloss. Because HIPAD makes hinges, clamps, handles, support bars and sliding fittings itself, we match the finish across every part, so the whole kit is one color.
Matte black is also available across hinges, clamps, handles and sliding kits. Other PVD colors can be developed for private-label collections.
| Material | Best for |
|---|---|
| Stainless steel 304 | Most showers: homes, hotels, humid climates |
| Stainless steel 201 | Budget kits for dry, ventilated bathrooms |
| Brass | Premium gold, rose gold and bronze kits |
| Zinc alloy | Large decorative bodies at lower cost |
| 316 stainless | Coastal, pool and spa projects, on request |
Keep one material across a kit so the finish ages evenly. Material documents and test reports are available per model.
Installation should be done by a qualified glazier.
| Mistake | How to avoid it |
|---|---|
| Hinge angle does not match the layout | Use wall-to-glass for walls, 180° for inline panels, 90° for corners, 135° for neo-angle |
| No support bar on a panel carrying a door | Add a support bar whenever a door hangs from glass or a panel edge is free |
| Glass holes do not fit the hardware | Send the hardware drawing to the glass processor before tempering |
| Seals for the wrong glass thickness | Order seals for the same thickness as the hinges and clamps |
| Finishes differ between parts | Buy the whole kit from one factory in one finish |
| 201 used in a wet coastal bathroom | Choose 304, or 316 near the sea and pools |
HIPAD is a manufacturer, not a trading middleman. We started in 2000 with bearings and precision motion parts, and in 2020 we added stainless steel handles, glass clamps, shower fittings and railing. Hinges, clamps, handles and sliding fittings are produced, inspected and packed under one roof, so a complete kit ships from one factory in one finish.
Incoming materials, in-process parts and finished components are inspected by our in-house QC team, and kits are checked for part count and fit before packing. SGS or BV third-party inspection is available. HIPAD is ISO 9001 certified, and applicable products carry CE, GS and CSA C-UL certification. Certificates for a specific model are available on request.
