Hanging door fittings

[Lawrence]

Looking for an industrial solution for sliding door fittings, it should be somewhat visible from the outside with a single wheel and visible fittings. Only found this one, anyone know :x

Visible fittings? Is it an interior detail you're after?

Otherwise, there are gate fittings at granngården/Nordpost

And part of the assortment is also available at Jula.

But maybe you're more looking for decorative items...

Found something on the net called "portrulle", but don't understand how the rest of the construction should look like, any tips?

Don't forget to think about safety!

That gadget you're showing can easily jump off the track it's meant to run on.
With a disaster as a result for the child the gate might fall over.

Can't you describe a bit what you're going to use the stuff for?
Obviously not a barn door anyway.

 

[Lawrence]

Yes, that might be something to consider given that I've just had a grandchild
Anyway, here comes the project so you can understand what I'm after.

OK, so the sliding gate should be on a regular simple tool shed.
Why aren't ordinary fittings enough?

Consider that the fittings you have in the image in your first post are likely turned, machined, and polished in small series and very expensive.
Is it worth the cost, you think? (However, I have no idea what they cost.)

Keep in mind that the fittings you have in the picture in your first post are likely machined, processed, and polished in small series and extremely expensive.

exactly. completely correct. therefore wondering about the simpler hanging rollers?

The solutions I've seen with similar fittings have had a flat iron on the wall that the wheel runs on. To prevent the wheel from jumping off the flat iron, you can place an angle iron, beam, or similar just above so that the wheel can move freely. Don't forget to install stops at each end.

The solutions I have seen with similar fittings have had a flat bar on the wall that the wheel runs on. To prevent the wheel from jumping off the flat bar, you can place an angle bar, wooden batten, etc. just above it so that the wheel runs freely. Don't forget to install stops at each end either.

The solutions I have seen with these fittings have had something on the fitting, just under the flat bar/u-beam that the wheel runs on, so that the wheel cannot lift.

OK, so it seems we agree.

Take another look at the link to Nordpost/Granngården that I provided.
There you have real stuff that will work.
The idea is largely that you set up a track that the door carriers run in.
Simple, unfashionable, and completely out.
But it works. I have such for my stable door.

Good luck!
