I want to build some office furniture as in a desk plus some storage
space. Can one get filing cabinet hardware like you can get kitchen
drawer hardware?

You may be able to make your own

Alternatively there are things like this

Cannibalising an old cabinet for bits is probably the way to go.

OK, thanks, they're just the runners like the ones that can be bought
for kitchen drawers, I've used them before on some 'under seat'
drawers in my daughter's house. I was hoping one might find a bit more
hardware for the drawer, like one can find kitchen pan drawer hardware
but maybe not.

Yes, but there is nothing too it to do it from scratch.
The rails are just a vertical about 2mm thick at the top
where the folders slide on.

I made the whole thing out of 19mm square tube welded
up into a rectangular cube with swivel wheels welded onto
the bottom so you can wheel it around the house and wheel
it into a bottomless cupboard at the base of the table or desk.

I can do the welding bit, that's not an issue. However we're not
after a mobile filing cabinet, we want something that will blend into
(and disappear to soem extent) in a large summer house.

Sure, but the point I was making is that all you need to do is organise
two parallel rails of roughly 1mm thick metal standing vertically. Even
just 2 aluminium strips with a screw into the wall with a say 7mm long
tube spacer anound the screw to keep the strip off the wall will work fine.

Depends on the age, but I've never seen anything except for spares which
were expensive.

That’s because you are blind, silly.

Could you clarify what you mean by hardware?

Drawer runners are easy to find, but do you specifically want an
interlock between drawers?

Mine are made with aluminium L section drilled and screwed in place the
right distance apart. Or you buy the chassis from Office World and stand
it in the drawer.
