How to Disassemble a Basco Shower Tub

A Basco shower tub enclosure has a hingeless design that hides the hardware used to mount the door. However, it can be disassembled in just a few steps if you know where to begin. There are several parts to take note of before getting started. The hinge jamb -- the part of the enclosure that allows the door to swing open -- and the wall jambs are among the most important. This project takes about an hour to complete.

Screwdriver

Instructions

- 1
  Open the door and locate the screws on the backside of the hinge jamb, which is just inside the door panel's hinge. Loosen these screws with a screwdriver while holding the door, or have an assistant hold the door if possible. Remove both screws and set the door aside.
- 2
  Find the screws holding the strike jamb to the wall jamb -- the part that mounts to the wall -- on the other side of the door. Loosen these screws with a screwdriver and remove the strike jamb.
- 3
  Unscrew the two wall jambs from the wall with a screwdriver. The screws mounting the jambs to the walls are located inside the jambs, which are U-shaped steel channels. Pull the jambs off the wall after the screws are taken out.

  Remove the drip tray and threshold by loosening the mounting screws with a screwdriver, then pulling them off by hand.
