Extended Product Information

FAQs

Do these slides come in pairs?

Yes, this product includes a pair of 16-inch slides, enough to outfit one drawer.

Can these be used for bottom mounting?

No, these are strictly side-mount drawer slides.

What is the material of the slides?

They are manufactured from high-quality steel with solid steel ball bearings for durability.

What does '3-fold' mean?

It refers to the telescopic design that allows the drawer to extend fully out of the cabinet for complete visibility.

Do I need special tools for installation?

Standard tools such as a screwdriver, a tape measure, and a level are sufficient for installation.

Does the soft-close feature work if I push the drawer slowly?

Yes, the soft-close mechanism engages once the drawer reaches the final few inches of closure, regardless of the initial speed.

Troubleshooting

Drawer does not close fully.

Check for obstructions behind the drawer or ensure that the cabinet-side slides are perfectly level and square with the drawer-side slides.

The drawer feels gritty or sticky.

Inspect the slide tracks for dust, wood shavings, or debris. Clean the track with a dry cloth and ensure the ball bearings are free of obstructions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Silent operation due to soft-close technology
  • Full extension allows for maximum storage accessibility
  • Durable steel ball-bearing construction
  • Prevents drawer damage from accidental slamming

Cons

  • Requires precise measurement of side clearance
  • Not compatible with bottom-mount drawer setups
  • Requires a 16-inch drawer depth for optimal performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal performance, ensure your drawer box is exactly 16 inches deep and that there is a standard clearance of approximately 13mm (0.5 inches) on each side of the drawer.

  1. Mark the mounting position on the inside of the cabinet carcass.
  2. Align the cabinet member of the slide and secure it using the provided mounting holes.
  3. Attach the drawer member to the sides of the drawer box.
  4. Slide the drawer into the cabinet tracks until the mechanism engages.

To maintain the slides, periodically inspect for debris in the tracks. Wipe with a dry, clean cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or heavy lubricants, as these can attract dust and impede the ball-bearing motion.
