Where to find replacement screws?

[r_c]

I need replacement screws for my shower screen. How do I go about buying new ones?

Our shower screen is one of those ones that slides in and out. But the sliding track mechanism has become rough and difficult to slide. I would like to remove the doors so that i can give it a good clean. But the screws are impossible to unscrew, and I've now damaged the head and given up, because ... if I do now eventually get the screws out, I have nothing to put back in!

So ... how do I go about finding replacement screws? I have no idea of the manufacturer or retailer of the shower screen.

r_c, good evening.

If possible can you upload several digital images of the Screws in question??

Someone somewhere may recognise the make and get you out of a tight spot?

You just want pan headed stainless stell screws. At the end of the day, it's normally an aluminum frame, so it'll be easy to screw into.

Sorry, I meant to add a photo and then forgot.

You just need to wander round the hardware shops.

Maybe treat your self to a new shower screen/enclosure.

New ones have nice free running rollers,it will seem like luxury.

The old shower glass gets brittle and easily broken (been there !) so be v careful,

Actually that is the plan for the long run (you can probably see how scratched up the metal channel is). Until I do that I was hoping it would be quicker to make the guide a bit smoother ... but at my slow work rate I might be replacing before I can find replacement screws. Thanks for the warning about brittle glass - I did not know that.

Looks like you could get some grips on the screw head to get it out?
