Ive finished making my roller draws in the back of my GQ im now making a fridge slide to suit my new Fridgemate 70L what i am after those is a set of roller draw runners now i have found quiet a few of these that are rated to 100kg etc but the problem is i need a set that is 1 meter to 1.1m but extends 1 meter out , the closest i can find is a 1 meter set but they only open to 860mm its not enough to suit my fridge
does anyone know of where i can get a set of these runenrs in the size i need?
cheers shane

Check out Hafele. I've got a set which are about 750mm long, extend over 800mm.
They are $$$.

would be cheaper in the long run to use square hollow section and two rows of bearings. I used hafaele runners in mine, and for the money you would be better off just using say 20x20 or 15x15 square section and the bearings.

I would not recomend teliscopic slide types as on corogations or vibrations the balls fall out

I agree, telescopic slides can be problematic. You also have to be very precise on the fitting as a couple of mm difference in width between front and back can cause problems.
Tore my telescopic slides (free IT server slides) out and replacing with roller bearings

when i built my drawers i just went to a carpenter/cabinet make who did custom kitchens and he pulled out a 3 inch thick catalogue and said what do you need!! it had ever combination you could think of with massive range in weight ratings.
