My shower door doesn’t close fully, leaving a gap. It has a pivot at the top and bottom, what do I adjust to make it fully close?
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Ward3. It's fantastic to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about adjusting a shower door.
Is this a new installation? If not, has the door ever closed correctly? I'd suggest the best place for information on corrective steps would be the shower screen manufacturer. If this is one of our products and you can provide the brand and potentially the model, I'd be happy to contact them to find out how this issue can be resolved.
I'd encourage you not to make any adjustments until you've received instruction from the manufacturer.

Are you able to push the door closed, or can you not physically close it at all @Ward3? Is it just that if you move it to the closed position, it self-opens with that gap? Many hinges include a small detent mechanism inside that holds the door in the closed position. If this function is not working, then the weight of the door will cause it to open to the position of least resistance. If this issue has become worse over time, this internal mechanism has likely worn out.
If the above is correct, there's nothing to adjust to fix the issue. You'd be looking at replacing the hinges from the manufacturer or trying to figure out some type of latch system. You could possibly silicone a magnetic door catch to the top corner of the screen and door. Hopefully, the holding strength would be enough to keep the door closed.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
