When this storage role works best

  • glass-door showers
  • light to medium products
  • renters who cannot drill tile

Measure before choosing this role

  • hook gap
  • door swing clearance
  • basket depth

Avoid this role if

  • the shower uses a curtain instead of a door
  • the door edge is too thick or too thin
  • the caddy would bang against tile when opening

Common mistakes

  • not checking the hook thickness match
  • loading heavy bottles onto a swinging glass door
  • letting the caddy hit nearby tile or trim

Likely failure modes

  • hook fit is wrong for the door
  • door bangs because of extra weight
