Where to buy short drawers runners / system

Question

HiI seem to be having some trouble sourcing some drawer runners for my newkitchen.I have a small base unit used for breakfast stuff (kettle / toaster etc)that is basically a Ika wall unit used as a base unit to fit into a smallspace. I want to put drawers into this unit for cutlery etc, but cannot eemto find any suitable drawer runners. I have the drawer fronts from Ikea.I am looking for somethin fairly substantial like the Ikea drawer system,but only 300mm deep (400mm wide), preferably full extention.Something like this seem to be plenty of supplies of drawer runners that fit into normal600mm dep base units but not wall unit size.I would rather source them locally (Birmingham) but I have no problemordering them onlineAny ideas folks?ThanksDuncan

I had just this problem when wishing to fit a custom made drawer under a

12" shelf. Someone here - can't remember who - recommended just cutting down standard 600mm ones, and it worked fine. You loose the 'ramp' at the end which gives a degree of self closing, but this isn't a problem in practice if everything is level. You'll have to drill some new holes in the runners as well as cutting them.

DARO in East London have a big selection. Not sure about ordering smallquantities on-line but I think they'll tell you what shops etc they supplythem to. O__________________________________________________--
