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.

Re: HE sliding door hanging bracket
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.

Re: HE sliding door hanging bracket
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. Regards - Mike Contursi Terme, south of Salerno |

Re: HE sliding door hanging bracket
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.

Re: HE sliding door hanging bracket
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 |

Re: HE sliding door hanging bracket
Buller Jupiter is similar.
Bullers do lots of hardware, may be worth asking them. Buller Limited Buller Ltd Unit 20 Woolmer Way Bordon Hampshire GU35 9QF Also try Timothy Wood Ltd Dean Mcfadden Units 1 & 2 Bradley Mills Ind Est Huddersfield West Yorkshire HD1 6PQ United Kingdom Last edited by Boater Sam; 23rd Dec 2018 at 12:37 pm.

Re: HE sliding door hanging bracket
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!

Re: HE sliding door hanging bracket
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 !
