BQ Bi-fold door

[EckieThump]

Hi all,
I have trawlled the net looking for a replacement top guide pin. The spring loaded roller.
Only place is the US. Does anyone know where these can be bought in the UK?
I would even buy the whole mounting kit, track etc.
Only other option is to buy a new door. Surely someone sells spare?

Cheers for any help in advance.

Would be easier if you can find out the manufacter make of the runners, B&Q should be able to help you for their phone number

They are about, one of them below

I was going to buy a bi fold door but I was so unimpressed with the quality from the likes of BQ etc that I made my own, Simply buy a solid wood door then use a circular saw to cut in half length ways then get 3 butt hinges and join the two pieces together again, as long as you have the roll of the hinge towards the opening side the door can't be pushed open and a normal lock is fine.

Yeah, it crossed my mind, but then I don't want the door to just waggle open which it will do if it doesn't have the top slide and guide wheel to keep it in-line.
Thanks masona for the Wickes link (I actually went to a store to look and they said they don't stock spares or kits!)
I have one on order now.
Cheers!
