Where to buy sliding door hanger bracket ?

Question

HiI have couple of sliding doors left over from a remodel and want tohang them in the garage to hide a messy shelving unit. However I can'tfind the metal bracket to hang the sliding doors on. The doors havewheels at the top and bottom. The originall hung from a metal bracketwhose profile (side view) looked like this    -------------------    |                  |    |                  |    |                  |    |                  |    |  /              |    | /               |    |/                |The wheels of the sliding door rested in the V and took all theweight. I need 20 ft of this. Home Dumpo doesn't have it - they have aentire kit for hanging doors which looked flimsy.Any ideas what kind of store would carry this ? I stay in bay area, CAand would prefer local.RegardsDebjyoti

(snip)If you can live with 2 side-by side rails that make the same profile, anymetal shop that makes custom ductwork should be able to make up sticks foryou on their metal brake. This isn't a barn door, after all, so the thickergauges of galvanized should be thick enough.  Basically just a sheet metal Lwith the long leg folded over.  If the doors are light enough, they couldeven put the mounting flanges on the outside. But before trying that, I'dtry a commercial steel vendor that advertises selling bar and rod stock.They may have something close enough to work.aem sends...

Your lucky day. My new Blaine window catalog came today. I think the closet door by-pass track may do the job for you. Check at Lowes or HD first and look where the door and window hardware is stored or call Blaine at 1-800-678-1919 to get a catalog. Blaine does have the replacement track for the rollers at the bottom of glass doors. Lowes may not have that.

Wow. Custom metalwork for re-used doors in a garage seems a little extreme. I bought a sliding door kit for about $20 at a lumber yard here (NYC) a few weeks ago. It comes with a top track, the rollers for

2 doors and a small guide "clip" for the floor. It was very easy to install.
