DIYbanter - View Single Post - Replacement rails for sliding patio doors

(Steve Wilson) wrote in message . com...
I'm trying to save myself several hundred pounds by refurbishing some
ageing patio doors rather than replacing them. They have many
interesting "features" that need rectifying (including a section that
seems to have been eaten by the previous occupiers' dog) but the major
problem is that the slider rails have simply worn down with use.
My initial investigations have not turned up a source of these rails,
but I'm sure it must be possible to buy replacements somewhere.
Can anybody point me in the right direction?
Many thanks,
Steve

Come on, I can't be the only person that's ever tried to do this !!
Are there any other skinflints out there ????
Cheers,
Steve
