Help finding a chicken coop sliding door handle.

I have that same "handle"? on my small prefab that I got from mypetchicken. You might try contacting them to see if you can order the part only.

Thanks I will try.

The secret to a successful search online is what to call it. I get really frustrated with that sometimes. This is just for sympathy, I don't have a clue what to call it.

I totally understand that post. So many times I search Ebay or Amazon or google for a product and I do not know the correct words to use... Thing-a-ma-bob handle doesn't work out very well in a search.

Like someone mentioned a little earlier, your best (and prettiest looking) bet is to google "drop rod". I am sure Amazon and Home Depot/Lowes have them in many colors and lengths.

Thanks, nice to be here. I did buy some 3/8 rod stock from HD, I can probably try to make something. It's more of a pet peeve that I'm unable to locate this online, in an age when you can find just about anything online. I appreciate the responses.

Thing is, it's specialty part made for the coop manufacturers, they probably buy hundreds at a time specified to their coop....it's not a retail or even an odd hardware item.

If you're good at working with metal, you can probably make one...
...some grinding of flats, a few of holes drilled, a rivet..... viola!
Bending a handle with 3/8 rod might be tough tho, but there are other options.

I have something just like that. My dad used to frequent estate sales, and he picked up a marshmallow/hot dog roaster, which he gave to me. Similar to this.
