How Centennial can help
Start with the complete system and the old part
These examples show several pivot arrangements found in older framed shower doors. They are identification examples rather than a statement of current stock. Send photos of the complete door and the existing pivot so Centennial Glass can check whether a compatible part may be available to order.
Important: Support the glass door before loosening a pivot or hinge. A framed shower door can drop or shift when its pivot hardware is released.

Hardware identification examples
Common framed shower-door pivot arrangements
These photographs show the general types of pivot hardware Centennial may be able to identify or source. They are not a live inventory list. The original door, rail profile, dimensions and mounting pattern still need to be checked before a replacement can be recommended.
Sourcing example
Pivot block assembly
A compact block, bearing and pin assembly designed to fit into a compatible aluminum shower-door rail.
Sourcing example
Framed-door pivot hinge
A top- or bottom-mounted hinge assembly that establishes the turning point for an aluminum-framed glass door.
Sourcing example
Long pivot assembly
An elongated replacement assembly used in certain older framed doors where the pivot and mounting points are farther apart.
Sourcing example
Short pivot assembly
A compact version used where the door rail and mounting pattern require a shorter pivot body.
Availability: These examples are shown to help identify the hardware family. Centennial Glass will confirm whether a compatible part can be supplied after reviewing the existing shower door.

Frequently asked questions
Framed shower door pivots identification
What information helps Centennial identify framed shower door pivots?
Send photographs of the complete assembly and the component from several angles, then include manufacturer markings and the measurements listed on this page. Mounting preparation, handing and dimensions may determine compatibility.
Can this hardware be replaced by appearance alone?
Usually not. Similar-looking components can differ in dimensions, load rating, handing, preparation and compatibility. Centennial reviews the complete opening before recommending a match or substitution.
Can Centennial install or repair this hardware?
Service depends on the hardware and the condition of the complete assembly. Send project photos or arrange an assessment so the team can determine the appropriate parts and repair approach.
