Can you get filing cabinet drawer hardware?

Cannibalising an old cabinet for bits is probably the way to go.

OK, thanks, they're just the runners like the ones that can be bought for kitchen drawers, I've used them before on some 'under seat' drawers in my daughter's house. I was hoping one might find a bit more hardware for the drawer, like one can find kitchen pan drawer hardware but maybe not.

Depends exactly what you're after, but take a look here:

Yes, but there is nothing too it to do it from scratch. The rails are just a vertical about 2mm thick at the top where the folders slide on.

I made the whole thing out of 19mm square tube welded up into a rectangular cube with swivel wheels welded onto the bottom so you can wheel it around the house and wheel it into a bottomless cupboard at the base of the table or desk.

I can do the welding bit, that's not an issue. However we're not after a mobile filing cabinet, we want something that will blend into (and disappear to soem extent) in a large summer house.

Sure, but the point I was making is that all you need to do is organise two parallel rails of roughly 1mm thick metal standing vertically. Even just 2 aluminium strips with a screw into the wall with a say 7mm long tube spacer anound the screw to keep the strip off the wall will work fine.

Depends on the age, but I've never seen anything except for spares which were expensive. Brian

Could you clarify what you mean by hardware?

Drawer runners are easy to find, but do you specifically want an interlock between drawers?

Yes, thank you, there's useful stuff there.

Mine are made with aluminium L section drilled and screwed in place the right distance apart. Or you buy the chassis from Office World and stand it in the drawer.

Time for some more gogling...
