Yes, this product includes a pair of slides sufficient for one drawer.
No, these slides are designed for a 20-inch depth. Using them on deeper cabinets will prevent the drawer from opening fully.
These slides are designed to handle standard cabinetry loads; however, always distribute weight evenly to maintain smooth operation.
It is recommended to use high-quality wood screws appropriate for your specific cabinetry material.
The mechanism is pre-set; however, ensuring the slides are perfectly parallel is the best way to ensure it functions as intended.
Check for obstructions behind the drawer box or ensure the slide is mounted deep enough in the cabinet.
Ensure the drawer is fully level and that the mounting screws are flush against the track so they do not obstruct the dampening mechanism.
Verify that the cabinet is square and the slides are parallel to one another. Misalignment is the most common cause of friction.
To install, first verify your drawer box is 20 inches deep and the side clearance is exactly 1/2 inch on both sides. Use a spirit level to ensure the cabinet-side track is perfectly horizontal before securing with screws. After mounting, test the soft-close feature by sliding the drawer in halfway and letting go; if it fails to pull shut, adjust the depth of the cabinet-side mount. Maintenance is minimal: periodically wipe the ball-bearing tracks with a dry, lint-free cloth to remove dust. If the movement becomes sluggish over time, a light application of dry silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the tracks.
