American Standard Aspirations 60 x 72-Inch Frameless Sliding Shower Door - AMS-AM00854400

Yes, and that is the main reason to pick it over a hinged door. The frameless panels slide open on both sides, so you do not order a handed unit and you do not have to know which way the bathroom is laid out before the door ships. For a property manager buying the same door for several identical baths, one part number covers openings that mirror each other.

A slider like the Aspirations 60 x 72 is the answer when there is no floor clearance to swing a panel, which is most 60 inch alcoves and nearly every tub replacement in an apartment bath. It opens within its own footprint, so a vanity or toilet sitting close to the opening is not a problem. A hinged or pivot door needs swing room in front and generally suits a larger walk-in with an open floor. The tradeoff on a bypass slider is that you only ever get roughly half the opening clear at once.

Three: Silver Shine (AM00854400.213), Matte Black (AM00854400.243), and Brushed Nickel (AM00854400.295). The finish covers the top rail, rollers, and the towel bar handle, so it is what you match to the shower trim and the vanity hardware already in the room. Brushed Nickel and Silver Shine are the safer matches to existing chrome and nickel fittings across a building; Matte Black only works if the rest of the room is already going black.

The handle is part of the door. It is a towel bar style handle, so it doubles as a place to hang a towel, and it comes in the finish you order the door in. Nothing separate to specify on the order form.

The rollers run on the top rail and the design is impact absorbing, so the panels glide and close quietly rather than banging into the jamb. On a repeat-spec job (hotel, student housing, multi-family) that is the difference between a door that survives the traffic and one that gets a service call, since the usual failure on a cheap bypass slider is the bottom track and the roller hardware.

The tempered 5/16 inch (8mm) glass is specified as showing less spotting, which is what you want on a unit that housekeeping or a tenant is wiping down rather than a maintenance tech. Frameless construction helps here too: there is no bottom frame channel collecting soap and no perimeter track to scrub out.
