Default HE sliding door hanging bracket

Something of a forlorn hope I know but if anyone knows where I can get one of these they are likely to be in this forum. This is the remaining hanging bracket for a very good sliding door mechanism (the other one has gone missing). The logo reads H E. Thanks for looking.

Uni-strut do a lot of roller assemblies for sliding doors. Others also make ugly strut channel fittings. used in the electrical trade to make frames ect.

Hi Roj,

Have you checked the Rack / Guide Rail at the the Top (may have to remove), and also there is a Bottom Guide and a flush Handle inserted in the Door.
One of these may have a Makers Name.

I suspect Henderson Engineering.

I have one of these Roller Kits installed in the UK on a Wardrobe Door.

Thanks Bob and Mike. I have searched high and low for the missing one (it's a rented house - just cleared after the last tenant left - so I think it went in the bin!). My wife hit on Henderson Engineering and contacted them - sadly this fitting is no longer available. Tis a pity - it's a very robust system. I shall have to buy something feeble to replace it.

Hi Roj,
I suggest you keep the 'old' parts instead of throwing away.

You never know, in the future, a Roller might just turn up.
It is my experience (sadly) generally this happens shortly after giving up and disposing of the retained items.

Regards - Mike

That (as the Americans are wont to say) is exactly right Mike! The most reliable way of finding the other one is to throw this one away.

Sam - that Buller Jupiter fitting looks really hopeful. I shall contact them ASAP. Thanks very much!

Thanks for all the replies to a very odd request gentlemen. Sam was spot on with his post. Sadly the supplier's customer service was less than helpful, so I have had to purchase a replacement kit (not theirs, obviously!). This thread may now be closed - what a broad church we have here !
