When a Fort Lee condo bathroom is too tight for a door to swing, sliding glass is the answer. Two panels bypass each other on a slim top track, so nothing arcs into the room. We build them for narrow alcoves and over tubs alike, cut to your exact opening. Start with a free in-home measure, and our Lodi shop is about fifteen minutes west.
Sliding glass, also called bypass, sets two panels on one track and lets them pass behind each other rather than opening outward. That means no leaf swinging into the vanity, the toilet or the towel bar, which is the entire point in a small room. We build the panels from the same heavy tempered safety glass as our frameless work, so they feel solid, not tinny, and the track runs low and trim across the top of the opening.
Bypass is the right answer for a wide alcove and for glass over a tub, where a swinging door has no safe place to go. The rest is your call: standard clear or low-iron ultra-clear glass, the optional easy-clean coating, and a track and handle finish from our fifteen options. We build the panels in our own shop, and once the glass is ready most installs finish in a single visit.
This is the door Fort Lee's towers were waiting for. The condos and co-ops along the ridge came with compact bathrooms, where a swinging door clips the vanity every time and steals floor you do not have. A bypass door never leaves the plane of the opening, so you keep every inch. For the many units still working with a tub in the main bath, sliding glass gives it a clean, current enclosure without touching the rest of the room.
Getting big glass into a high-rise takes a crew that respects the building, and that is how we work. We are licensed and insured, we work with building requirements, and we bring the panels up cleanly and protect the common areas on the way. We measure in your Fort Lee unit for free, so we see the real opening, the tub height and the room you have before anything is quoted. Prefer to see finishes first? The Lodi showroom is about fifteen minutes west.

It depends on your opening, so we do not post a flat rate. The price follows the width of the alcove, the glass thickness and type, and the track and handle finish you pick. A wider opening needs more glass, and low-iron runs a bit more than standard. We give a firm, itemized quote after a free in-home measure, and monthly payment options are available.
Plan on about one to two weeks. We start with the free measure and template, then cut the glass and prep the track in our own Lodi shop, which sets the timeline. The install itself is normally one visit. In a Fort Lee high-rise we book that visit around the building's hours and elevator access so it stays smooth. Give us your date and we will aim for it.
Almost always. Bypass doors were made for tub openings, where a swinging door has nowhere to go. We set the panels on a track that spans the alcove so they glide side to side, safe and out of the way. At the measure we check the tub height, the wall condition and the exact width, then build the glass to match. It is one of the most common jobs we do in condo bathrooms.
In a tight tower bath, usually yes. A swinging door needs clear floor to open, and in a compact condo that floor is often taken by the vanity or the toilet. A bypass door never swings out, so you get the full glass enclosure without losing a step of room. If the layout is unusual, we will tell you honestly at the measure which door works best for the space.
Yes. Today's sliding doors are a long way from the aluminum framed sliders in a lot of Fort Lee condos. We build them in heavy tempered glass on a slim, low-profile track, with the framing kept minimal so the look stays open and current. You still get the no-swing convenience, just without the bulky, rusted frame. We will show you the difference against your old door at the measure.
