Hi, I'm in Melbourne and have been using your site for ages to get advice. Thanks.. it's been very helpful! I need more expert advice on what the hell these sort of hinges/rollers are called! Thanks in advance, Katja (please let me know if there is a better forum to put this in - I'm a bit confused) http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p...S777/ROLL2.jpg
I have just heard them called rollers for sliding doors
When you need to know just ask. :)
Welcome to the forum.
So! Another lurker goes lagit......:D
Welcome Katja.:cool:
Hi KATJA.
Firstly... G'day mate.
Don't know if I can help, but always happy to give an opinion.:D
What size are these rollers and what are they from?
glenn k indicated they are from slide doors.
If this is the case, I guess they are from the top of the door and it hangs.
I would try contacting a company called "Doric products". They also carry items branded (I think) "cowdry".

They manufacture and supply a huge amount of hardware along with other stuff for the window/joinery industry. Many of their products are designed to replace older product parts.
Hope it helps lead you in the right direction.
Cheers,

G'day KATJA and welcome aboard.:2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:
If they are door hangers for a sliding door they have very long shanks and I don't see any means for attaching them to the door.
That being said they certainly look as if they are meant to be hung on a rail for something to move along.
Hi KATJA I dont have a clue either but I am sure someone will be able to help. Welcome to the forum.:2tsup:
Hi all, thanks for your replies. I know what they are for, but need to know what they are called so I can find some lighter ones. They are 78cm long and 10mm thick! They were on a shed door, but I want to get a smaller pair for a new shed, as these weigh a ton! I really like them though and want to keep them (just in case...?) - I'm sure you will all understand that! Thanks for that link, I will have a good look at their stuff. I think I will have to make a pair, as all the commercial ones are expensive/elaborate/and seem a bit pissy for a shed! Cheers, Katja. I also meant to say in the last post that this is a fantastc resource and thanks for all the times I've consulted it while lurking in the shadows!
