DS01 vs. DS13 vs. SS08: Which MCOCOD Sliding Shower Door Fits?

If the configuration is already settled and the remaining question is which of the three sliding models actually fits your opening, the answer usually comes down to comparing one measured width against the size ranges MCOCOD publishes for each model. The sections below do that comparison directly, then walk through matching your own measurements to a model.

Model Comparison by Opening and Layout

The lists below are taken from the standard-dimension data MCOCOD publishes for these models. Reading them side by side answers the first filter question — which models are available in your width — before you compare mechanism or handle style.

Standard size combinations published by MCOCOD
Model Layout Standard width × height combinations Soft-close
DS01 Double sliding, frameless 48″×76″, 54″×76″, 60″×60″, 60″×66″, 60″×72″, 60″×76″, 60″×79″, 66″×76″, 72″×72″, 72″×76″ No
DS13 Double sliding, frameless Not published on the pages checked for this guide — confirm the standard combinations in the Select Dimensions step on the DS13 product page (see the note on the DS13 family below) Yes
SS08 Single sliding, frameless 48″×76″, 54″×76″, 60″×60″, 60″×66″, 60″×72″, 60″×76″, 60″×79″, 66″×76″, 72″×72″, 72″×76″, 76″×76″, 76″×79″ Yes

Note on the DS13 family. MCOCOD publishes a standard-dimension list for the one-finger-pull DS13H variant on its own DS13H page: 54″×76″, 60″×66″, 60″×72″, 60″×76″, 60″×79″, 66″×76″, 72″×76″ and 76″×76″. That list belongs to the DS13H rather than to the two-towel-bar DS13, and this guide does not treat the two as interchangeable, so confirm the DS13's own standard combinations in the Select Dimensions step on its product page.

How to Read These Ranges

The width is the first number and the height is the second. If your measured width falls inside a model's list, that model is available in a standard size; if it falls between two entries, the opening is usually a non-standard order rather than a rounding decision. Heights matter in the same way: a 79″ opening is not covered by the shortest height options.

Widths Shared Across the Family

The DS01 and SS08 lists overlap heavily in the middle of the range. From 48″ to 72″ in width, both publish comparable combinations, and the shared heights are the same. That overlap is why opening size alone rarely decides between the two once you are inside the common range — from there the layout and the mechanism do the deciding.

Where the Models Diverge

Three differences are worth noting when the sizes overlap. First, the SS08 list reaches the tallest combination published for these models, 76″×79″. Second, 76″×76″ appears on the SS08 list and on the DS13H list, while the DS01 list stops at 72″ wide. Third, the layout differs: the SS08 moves a single panel, while the DS01 and DS13 move two — which is what separates them once the sizes line up.

How to Match a Model to Your Measurements

Work in this order and the model choice falls out of the measurements rather than the other way around.

Measuring the Finished Opening

Measure the width at the top, middle and bottom, and the height at both sides, after tile or wall panels are finished. Record the smallest width, because that is the number the door has to clear, and note any ledge or return wall the enclosure has to sit against. The shower door measuring guide covers the method, and the sliding door size guide explains how panel overlap affects the width you need.

Comparing Your Width to Each Range

Take your smallest measured width and check it against the lists above. If it appears on the DS01 list, the double sliding door is available in that size; if it appears on the SS08 list, the single sliding door is available in the same size. Where the two overlap — most of the middle of the range — what separates them is the layout (one moving panel or two) and the soft-close mechanism, which the DS01 does not have. For the DS13, which pairs the double sliding layout with a soft-close mechanism, confirm the standard combinations on the DS13 product page instead of borrowing the DS13H list. When two models both fit, compare the entry you want day to day and the handle style: the DS01 buying guide and the DS13 buying guide cover each model's layout and hardware in detail.

When to Use Non-Standard Dimensions

Choose non-standard dimensions when your finished opening falls between two standard combinations, when the walls vary by more than the door's adjustment range covers, or when a ledge or knee wall changes the depth the enclosure has to take up. The non-standard dimensions range lists the size options; ordering outside the standard list is a measurement question rather than a different product, so take the final measurement after the surrounding surfaces are complete.

Ready to compare the models side by side with the sizes in hand? The three product pages and the shower door collection list the current options and finishes. MCOCOD's product pages for the DS01, DS13 and SS08 describe each door as built with 3/8″ tempered, SGCC-certified glass, treated with an Enduro Shield coating applied to both sides of the glass, and offered in the same four hardware colors, so the size filter above is the part that decides fit.
