Does anyone know who stocks* sliding door guides in the UK ?

W channel similar to :-

ors-7-8-W-x-9-16-H-x-72-L-Anodized-Aluminum-Finish.html

I'm replacing ones that are 1.5cm x 0.5cm at the bottom and 1.5x1cm
at the top. The bottom one might be a* top one sawed or filed down

I can't seem to find any in the usual B&Q/Homebase/Wickes/Screwfix
outlets, unless someone else knows differently. U-channel is pretty
common.

You could always improvise with two U channels, or one U and one
angle. Lots of specialist suppliers online.

Did you try Googling "aluminium double channel"?

That's shown up some options . I didn't know what to call it.

"plastic double channel track" also brings up more options.

Tnx

Hafele do sliding door gear


I used this to create a bottom rail where it had previously been just
small plastic guides. As ever, long things are expensive to ship

Thats neat. I noticed the doors have groove top and bottom, so that
might work.
