Quick Learner from Oregon
I need to know the maximum width of glass door that the guide will allow to slide through

The width of this guide where the shower door slides is 1/2", so I would suggest no more than 7/16" thick. You don't want it to drag in the guide. You could get away with 1/2", but you might need to file out the guide a little.

What is the width of the guide? Also, is there a matching bottom guide?

The 10-119 guide has a gap of 1/2" on either side of the center. They get attached to the bottom track on a Sterling shower door, so there is no corresponding bottom guide. You can see the dimensions of the part below.

I assumed this piece is for the bottom. however, Paul states above "there is no corresponding bottom piece." is this for the top???

I'm sorry for the confusion. What I meant to say was that this part isn't really defined as a "bottom" or "top" guide in any sense. They're actually meant to mount on the jamb. Ultimately there is no companion piece for this part of any kind, regardless of where it mounts. I apologize for the inconvenience.
