Drawer slides

When it earns a place in your kit

For a drawer or pull-out added to a separately resolved design. Side-mounted and undermounted systems use different attachment and clearance details; one cannot be substituted using the other’s drawer dimensions.

What to check before choosing

• Measure the usable opening width, depth and height, including obstructions and any face frame. Choose the mounting system and travel needed.
• Read the exact installation sheet for slide length, side space, tolerances and any drawer notches, holes, clips or brackets.
• Check the documented load conditions with the drawer’s own weight plus its contents. Confirm mounting orientation and intended drawer width.

A practical setup sequence

1. 1

   Choose the slide model before sizing the drawer box. Record the required left and right clearance and the usable depth from its instructions.

2. 2

   Check the cabinet opening at front and back. For a symmetrical side-mount system, subtract the specified space on both sides from the opening to obtain the outside box width.

3. 3

   Mount the pair using the model’s reference lines, fasteners and adjustment method. Keep the specified spacing consistent along the travel.

4. 4

   Test smooth travel with the supported empty drawer, resolve rubbing or misalignment, then follow the product instructions for use and loading.

A common mistake to avoid

Subtracting a universal half-inch per side can produce the wrong drawer. Clearance and tolerances belong to the exact slide system.
