How to Choose

  • Slide length matched to the cabinet/drawer depth
  • Extension type: full extension, over-travel, or partial
  • Mounting type: side mount, undermount, bottom mount, or center mount
  • Load capacity for the drawer contents and usage
  • Side clearance available in the cabinet opening
  • Soft-close, push-to-open, or lockable function
  • Ball-bearing vs roller movement and cycle life
  • Suitable furniture type and frequency of use

Material Options

Cold-rolled steel with ball bearings is standard; zinc plating resists corrosion indoors, and stainless steel suits damp or outdoor-adjacent use. Steel gauge and bearing count set the load rating.

Finish Options

Zinc-plated is the default; black and stainless options match exposed industrial drawers. Finish mainly affects corrosion resistance since most slides are hidden.

Installation Notes

Mount the cabinet member level and square, fix the drawer member to the drawer side at the matching height, then engage and test full travel. Verify clearance and that soft-close engages before locking the pattern.

Buying Notes for OEM Orders

For OEM production, standardize on a small set of slide lengths and one load class per drawer size, and confirm soft-close behavior on a sample batch.
