Shower door magnetic strip - removable?

[theflyingpig]

This one might belong in' plumbing', or perhaps 'tiling'..but...

I've put in a shower door that despite closing correctly, doesn't stay closed.. Presumably due to weak magnets in the strip..
Should be easy enough to change, but the strip on the frame doesn't appear to removable - are they all? Do I just need to man up??

Thanks for any input..

Might it be the case that something is not level?

Did you put the magnetic strip in? Does it have barbs to hold it in place? If so, it may be the case that you need to dismantle it.

Sorry am only guessing. Difficult to tell from the single photo.

Magnetic strips usually just push on so should pull off unless silicon was used .
My old shower door was not staying closed as strips were out of alignment, I taped it shut overnight to realign which worked well.

Thanks, the door and frame came with the magnetic strips pre fitted. The one on the door will definitely come off, but the one on the frame maybe not.....

Thanks. How did taping it shut realign it?

The magnetic strip was slightly warped being encased in plastic , taping it together helped straighten it so the magnetic strip aligned .
