Default sliding door guide

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

W channel similar to :-

http://www.usknobs.com/Aluminum-Slid...r-1-4-Thick-Do
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.

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

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

Tnx

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

This sort of thing?

The picture isn't very helpful, unfortunately.

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

Take a look at Henderson doors.

and its subsequent pages have some parts, including track.
