    Framed Glass shower doors are attached on each side with screws and caulk. The doors are heavy so getting some help would be best, but a woman can do it by herself (I did.) First cut through the caulk with a razor knife (sometimes called a box knife). Then, remove the swing door, if you have one, again, it is just attached with screws or there may be a screw located on the top at the hinge which you loosen and then can lift out the door (there is a peg at the bottom. Continue to remove screws and you may need to slice caulk again as you go. Lift remaining framed glass sections away and scrape remaining caulk. Fill screw holes with caulk or a mender for your surround material.

    I just removed one from my in-laws bathroom. The doors are not all that heavy and they just lift right out. Barb is spot-on and I cannot add anything better.
