Hello. I hope you can identify (and stock!) this screw. This goes to the bottom of a shower door that uses 10-216 shower door guides. The screws serve two purposes: to secure the bottom rail of the shower door itself and also to secure the 10-216 shower door guides. I followed directions from the Customer Q&A on your site for this part and everything matches up with this guide and the specific door referenced in the Q&A. However, one of the screws I removed was severed and this one appears slightly bent. Regardless, I need four more of these and I've had no luck at Ace Hardware, Home Depot and two plumbing supply stores. Help!!!
Thank you!

The screw is 1/8" wide and 1 5/16" long. The bottom 3/16" is unthreaded. Here are two additional images from a closer perspective.

Thank you for reaching out to us. Your screw is a self-drilling Tek type screw. We do carry these type screws, but only with a 1" length. I don't think you would still need to use a Tek screw if you are just replacing them. You should be able to use either a #8 X 1-1/4" flat head screw or a #6 X 1-1/4" flat head screw. I would suggest taking the screw back to the hardware store and purchase a 1-1/4" screw. As for the diameter, it is either a #6 or #8 but you can have them determine the correct diameter.

Thank you! As a DIY homeowner, I need and really value this kind of advice. I'm glad this project led me to Swisco. From ordering the shower door guides (perfect replacement) to this discussion, it's been a great experience.
