Sliding Doors
5 Answers
In our kitchen we have over the top of the door a slider mechanism where there was once a sliding door. There's no door though and no track at the bottom.
I have a spare door that fits the space which I need to convert to a sliding door.
I have been searching for either casters or some carbon steel ball transfers to attach to its base & a track for these to run on that's almost flat (i.e. to be as near as poss. flush with the carpet). The top of the door can be screwd into the old slider mechanism above.
Where can I find such equipment? I have been trying everywhere - but they just want to sell me complete kits.
Thanks to anyone that can help!

I would be very surprised if you will be able to purchase separate parts for this sort of thing.

We have a sliding door in the lounge with the usual track at the top.
The bottom of the door does not have a track of any sort but has a groove running centrally along the bottom edge which runs over a small block of wood or nylon to stop the door from being moved out of line vertically.
The block is placed adjacent to one of the door jambs and is always covered by the door itself. The door travel is limited by a rubber door stop screwed to the floor in line with the block.
Hope this helps if I'm not too late?
