- What does the 100 lb rating mean?
- It is the load capacity per pair of slides, so a drawer and its contents up to 100 lb should run smoothly. Heavier loads strain the bearings and the soft-close damper.
- Do these slides include mounting screws?
- Check the contents before installing. Many side-mount slide sets ship without screws, so you may need to supply your own.
- Will they fit my existing cabinet?
- They are 20-inch side-mount slides, so the cabinet depth and drawer box length need to match. Measure the drawer box and the cabinet interior before buying.
- How does soft-close work?
- A damper engages near the end of the travel and pulls the drawer the last stretch shut. Push the drawer closed and let go; it finishes on its own.
- Can I use them on a drawer that pulls out fully?
- Yes. Full extension means the drawer box clears the cabinet front, so you can reach the back of the drawer.
- Are they a good upgrade over standard slides?
- If your drawers slam or carry heavy loads, the soft-close action and 100 lb rating are a clear improvement. If you need hidden hardware, undermount slides are the alternative.
