Drawer runners on Hammond Furniture fitted bedroom

[RobG_20]

The bedrooms in our house feature Hammonds Furniture - fitted some time ago (possibly as long ago as 1995). The drawer runners in one room are totally trashed. Hammonds have tried but have no record of the job or the drawer runners in use at the time. The runners are unusual in that they are mounted on the walls of the chest and the drawers sit on them, located in position by metal 'pegs' that engage with holes at the base of the drawer side walls. (Sorry - awful description I know) While I try and work out how to post a photo where you all can see it, I wonder if anyone recognises this arrangement and can suggest a source of replacement runners for Hammond kit. 'Standard' replacements take up too much space.

Are you saying that the runners are completely under the drawers - with
no part of them being between the cases and the drawer sides?

No. That was just my poor description I'm afraid. Each runner has a fixed part (a channel)attached to the side wall. Within the fixed part is a sliding part which moves with the drawer. The sliding part has a small protruding bit near one end in the same plane as the bottom of the drawer (i.e. at rt angles to the runner), and rising vertically from the 'protuberance' is a small round 'peg' which engages with a hole in the bottom of the side wall of the drawer. There is a similar protuberance near the other end of the runner.
Oh dear! Talk abt a picture being worth a thousand words!
You'd think a bog-standard B&Q replacement could be used with a bit of fiddling, but all the ones I have found so far are too thick by 1-2 mm to fit between the drawer side and the cabinet. :(

We haven't seen Robert Gayton here since 2016.
Get yourself a sane portal to news:uk.d-i-y, the one you're using just isn't.
