Rear socket for kitchen cabinet sliding drawer

I cannot find any identification of the cabinets in my house, and this plastic socket is broken, so that the sliding arm falls out, making the drawer nonfunctional. I have not seen this particular socket on-line anywhere (it doesn't use screws, but has a knob in the back that fits into a hole in the back wall of the cabinet).

Thank you for your help -

Hi Toba. See if the gap that accepts the track in your old socket pair matches the 32-119. If so, you could use these as a replacement; just keep in mind that these sockets will need to be mounted with screws; unfortunately, the plug-in type sockets you're looking for are no longer available.

Thanks so much. The part you sent the link to is close, but the old socket is just 1 3/4 inches deep, and this replacement is 2 1/4 - the bracket gets a little wider past the 1 1/4 mark, it goes from 30/32" to an inch, so I think it won't be able to slide all the way in. Is there a similar part that is just 1 3/4" deep? I'm attaching a picture of that end of the bracket. Thank you!

I'm afraid that we don't have anything in that exact size. Your old socket isn't made anymore, so you probably won't find anything as close. That said, I don't think it will matter too much. The 32-119 is a very versatile part and can work for many drawer tracks. I see no reason why it can't work for yours.
