in In my home (includes DIY) MoneySaving
The (back to back) door knob from a sliding shower door fell off the other day making it now very tricky to get in and out. I tried the DIY stores first for a replacement and they didnt have anything, never mind one i liked the look of...

I've found a few online (but not many) and they all seem to mention they are "suitable for toughened glass of 8-10mm thick"

The glass in our 'Matki' shower seems to be only 5mm think so I'm not sure these knobs will work... Anyone know for sure? OR have any better ideas??

Thanks!

    Contact Matki and they will normally send out a spare FOC. This is a premium brand product with good aftersales service

    You think they'll send out a spare even though we've had the shower since 2001?

    Hi,

    heh heh, good result, and speedy service, your reply email is probably in cyberspace somewhere, so old snail mail wins.
