Drawer runners on Hammond Furniture fitted bedroom

[RobG_20]

The bedrooms in our house feature Hammonds Furniture - fitted some time ago (possibly as long ago as 1995). The drawer runners in one room are totall y trashed. Hammonds have tried but have no record of the job or the drawer runners in use at the time. The runners are unusual in that they are mounte d on the walls of the chest and the drawers sit on them, located in positio n by metal 'pegs' that engage with holes at the base of the drawer side wal ls. (Sorry - awful description I know) While I try and work out how to pos t a photo where you all can see it, I wonder if anyone recognises this arra ngement and can suggest a source of replacement runners for Hammond kit. 'S tandard' replacements take up too much space.

Are you saying that the runners are completely under the drawers - with no part of them being between the cases and the drawer sides?

No. That was just my poor description I'm afraid. Each runner has a fixed p art (a channel)attached to the side wall. Within the fixed part is a slidin g part which moves with the drawer. The sliding part has a small protruding bit near one end in the same plane as the bottom of the drawer (i.e. at rt angles to the runner), and rising vertically from the 'protuberance' is a small round 'peg' which engages with a hole in the bottom of the side wall of the drawer. There is a similar protuberance near the other end of the ru nner. Oh dear! Talk abt a picture being worth a thousand words! You'd think a bog-standard B&Q replacement could be used with a bit of fidd ling, but all the ones I have found so far are too thick by 1-2 mm to fit b etween the drawer side and the cabinet. :(

We haven't seen Robert Gayton here since 2016. Get yourself a sane portal to news:uk.d-i-y, the one you're using just isn't.
