A glass shower is more than just a bathroom fixture—it’s an investment in quality, safety, and craftsmanship. This philosophy drives both Portals Hardware's commitment to excellence and the mission of the Shower Door Professionals Co-op an organization that's revolutionizing installation standards through collaboration, education, and rigorous requirements. 

A Network Focused on Quality Installation

The Shower Door Professionals Co-op emerged from a shared vision among dedicated installers: to create a nationwide referral network of qualified professionals committed to safety, precision, and best practices. Their rigorous membership requirements ensure only the most qualified professionals join their ranks:

- Minimum 3 years of installation experience

- Specialization in frameless shower doors

- Verified business credentials and physical location

- Comprehensive insurance coverage

- Ongoing professional development

The Co-op's approach to elevating industry standards aligns naturally with Portals' own commitment to producing trustworthy, elegant hardware that installers can rely on.

Join Portals at Top Golf During GlassBuild America

Portals Luxury Hardware is proud to co-sponsor an evening of networking and recreation on November 4th, 2025, at Top Golf in Orlando right after the wrap of the first day of GlassBuild America 2025. Members of the Shower Door Professionals Co-op and other industry professionals are welcome to RSVP and attend for free.

Eric Miller, Chairman and CEO of Bohle | Portals will be present to meet attendees and discuss the latest innovations in shower door hardware. This event offers a perfect opportunity to connect with peers while experiencing Portals' commitment to supporting industry excellence.

A Shared Commitment to Safety

Safety stands at the forefront of quality installation practices. The Shower Door Professionals Co-op emphasizes proper glass handling techniques, thorough inspection protocols, and appropriate safety equipment use—values that Portals supports through our own product engineering.

If you attend GlassBuild America this year, you might also catch Co-op members like Lori Ann Benish of Enclosures Unlimited volunteering at the Shower Design Challenge on the expo floor. This challenge (located at booth #21135) will test glaziers’ ability to properly measure and design frameless shower enclosures. Participants will measure openings and identify common installation mistakes, as well as learn from shower experts how to reduce errors. Participants will be entered in daily drawings for tool prizes.

Experience the Portals Difference

For over 20 years, Portals has developed shower door hardware that installation experts can trust. Our company's shower hinges feature innovative built-in gaskets that fully isolate glass from metal, providing superior protection while simplifying the installation process.

This attention to design provides tangible benefits that seasoned professionals appreciate:

No slippage issues - The recessed and glued-in gasket system prevents the common problem of door slippage

Proven reliability - Less than 1% hinge failure rate

Long-term durability - Products backed by a lifetime warranty for residential use

Aesthetic versatility - Available in various styles and finishes including polished brass, satin brass, bronze, nickel, matte black, and chrome.

Portals offers new customers a set of free hinges (retail value $160+) with no purchase necessary—a testament to our confidence in our product's performance.

Elevating Industry Standards Together

We recognize and support the important work of organizations like the Shower Door Professionals Co-op in raising installation standards across the industry. By producing hardware that professionals can trust, we strive to contribute to this mission in our own way—ensuring that our products meet the same high standards as the installation techniques themselves.

We hope you join us at the event to learn more about quality hardware solutions that support excellence in shower door installation.
