Drawer slides are an essential part of any cabinetry project and can make a big difference in how smoothly the drawers open and close. Different types of slides have varying weight capacities and offer different options like soft close mechanisms that prevent slamming of the drawers.
Roller slides are simple and easy to install but don’t hold a lot of weight. Ball-bearing slides are more expensive but offer a smoother motion and can hold more weight.
High-Quality Products
Adding drawer slides to your cabinets is an investment that will improve functionality and durability. You want to choose slides that are rated for the weight of the drawer and that are made with quality materials. The right slides will also have features like soft close or self-closing mechanisms that pull the drawer all the way into the cabinet with a light push. visit for wholesale drawer slides.
When choosing your slides, check for the load rating and pay attention to the number of tracks. The more tracks the slide has, the more stable it will be. You also want to consider the length of the slide. Most side mount slides are available from sizes of 10″ all the way up to 22″. Some of these longer slides require the use of a rear mount bracket and a drawer installation jig. You should also look for a slide with a quiet opening action and dual springs to help eliminate slamming or jostling.

Drawer Slides are mechanical devices that move a drawer into and out of a cabinet or piece of furniture. They can be found in a variety of designs, from light to heavy-duty. These slides are typically divided by their load capacity, their stroke (how far they can be extended), and their mounting type – side mount or under mount.
The key to selecting the right drawer slide is to first determine the weight of the drawer you’re planning to install. Different drawer slides have different weight capacities, and choosing one that’s too lightweight will cause the drawer to stick or jam when opened.
After that, consider whether or not the slides will be used in a stationary application or in motion – this can affect things like their stroke and closing force. Our recommended option is the FIRGELLI style, which features an industry leading number of bearings and can be fully extended or separated without a need to open or close the drawer.
Easy Ordering Process
When you buy drawer slides, it’s not just about the price; you also need to consider their quality. Some slide types are prone to sticking and jamming, or have poor weight capacities. Moreover, some are difficult to install and require the services of a professional.
Some drawer slides have features that can improve functionality. For example, soft-close mechanisms reduce noise and provide a more gentle close. In addition, detents and locking can help prevent unintended drawer motion.
For frameless cabinets, consider using Blum undermount drawer slides with soft close – the industry gold standard. These have a smoother, quieter operation than cheap ball bearing side mount slides. However, keep in mind that under mount drawer slides don’t fit a standard 1/2” side clearance so you’ll need to make custom measurements without a jig. If you do, plan on purchasing a drawer installation jig and upgraded screws like Rok #8. Otherwise, even the best slide won’t work properly.
