Drawer Runners

message from John on 11 May 2004
Anybody know where I can buy drawer runners similar to these?

http://www.protak.co.uk/Products/ffrunner2/rn170312.htm

My son's drawer runners have given up the ghost and I need 3 new pairs. The
furniture is built in and was here when we moved in so I cannot just replace
the complete chest. The ones I need are only 250mm long (examples are
310mm) also they are 'trade only' and have a min order of £75. I don't mind
paying a bit of P&P to get them to Leeds but I'm not ordering £75 worth! I
have tried Screwfix and Ironmongery Direct but cannot find anything
suitable in there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

Try http://www.hettich-uk.co.uk/, they're happy to sell small
quantites at not unreasonable cost.

Hettich cheap ? News to me. I've always considered Haefele expensive and=20
Hettich are invariably more expensive.=20

Having said that Hettich IME is better quality. Some of the Haefele=20
products can be ropey.

Exactly what sort of runners is the original poster seeking ? Bottom fix=20
? If so, I may be able to help.

Thanks for that they have the item I require but minimum qty is 20 pairs. I
have sent them an email to ask if I can buy 3 pairs.

Thanks

B and Q Farnborough have a good selection of draw runners, although they don't look like
the picture - do they need to be as the picture or could you replace the whole assembly?

I think you can, they used to say somewhere that there was no charge
for breaking packs, you just forego any discount (or something like
that).

I would have thought www.woodfit.com will do them

Doh... I really must use a better news server with a shorter lag time!
Glad you found them anyway.
