Wardrobe sliding door gear

great and is very cheap to install. Loosely screw the little toy car wheels on the bottom of the door so it rolls easily. Fit the guides on the floor and ceiling. Install door in between. Jobs a good un' :-)

BigWallop,

Thanks for the reply.

An intriguing thought, but I'd be a tad concerned about toy car wheels supporting the weight of the doors, given the size I have in mind.

Stanley Acmetrack ?

Thanks for that. The US Stanley site does have something which looks very like the gear I used, though without the edge-stiffeners for the door panels; but despite several Google searches I can't find a UK presence for the company. Surely there must be one?

Bert

Well I read "ACMETRACK" from the sticker on the back of some pre-made sliding mirror doors, IIRC bought from Smith's Do It All, but a good few years ago ...

Looks like there might be a handful

Andy,

might be Stanley's UK address in the Google synopsis, none of them leads to anything useful, unfortunately.

Bert

BigWallop,

Yes, that's the address I found. I suppose it's foolish, even now, to be taken aback when a relatively well-known company has absolutely no web presence, but it does come as a slight surprise.

Bert

A growing trend, lots of pages obviously designed to attract google's attention, looking like a specific hit for a certain item, but just a pointer to another "selling engine" ... which generally doesn't actually sell what you searched for anyway :-(

Absolutely infuriating, isn't it. I wonder if Google will do anything to address the problem?

I'll try that address for Stanley when things get back to normal; thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Bert

You could have a look here:

one I used previously, except that it needs doors solid enough to screw into. I'll download the data sheets and fitting instructions and have a proper look.

Haefele do a lot of sliding door gear

I'll check them too. Thanks.

Bert

Would these be new doors for an Asylum Bert????

Dave Lang

Well, fancy seeing you here! No, these are large sliding doors to cover acres of floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and serve as otherwise non-existent wall space for pictures and the like...

How's the hand?

Bert

Stanley UK definitely do a full wardrobe door set but I wasn't aware they did the slidey bits on their own. My Stanley wardrobes have a bespoke runner system that you couldn't readily adapt to a non-Stanley door.

Pretty sure they don't have a web presence, but their customer service number is 0114 276 4099. They were very helpful to me recently; provided a free new wheel for my wardrobe.

David,

Thanks very much.
