Clothes rod has no center support in bedroom

The bunk area had one that works great but the bedroom one has none. Must have been an oversight during mfg.
I would like to know where to get another. I cannot seem to find the bracket that would work. It is made of metal, painted white and has about a 4" drop.
I am trying to attach a picture.
Anyone know where someone could obtain one?

Thanks for the idea... it worked. In case anyone else needs it, the part number is 0240844.

The way I approach those problems is take the existing one to an "old fashioned" hardware store... nearly every smallish town has one.

Get a similar one which can be bent into the shape you need. Cut it with tin snips and file smooth as needed. Drill holes if necessary, then hit it with a couple coats of Rust-Oleum gloss white (or similar).

Install... Done.

Mine came off. I used clue on each screw and no issue

The Thor ones are just cheap closet rod hangers. Mine pulled out twice on the first long trip because they did not hit the alum strut above it, so I installed a short piece of oak wood to get another screw on the strut at the correct location. Then spaced it down another 4" and moved the ends down 4" so the DW could actually reach the hangers.... sometimes the installers think that everybody is 6'.....

I've rinsed and repeated that thought process so many times! I call it hillbilly engineering.
