1. Understanding Drawer Slides


Drawer slide is a groove or curved guide fixed on a certain track, which is used to connect the drawers of wooden and steel furniture such as cabinets, furniture, file cabinets, and bathroom cabinets.


2. Dimensions of Drawer Slides


The specifications and sizes of drawer slides generally available on the market are: 10 inches, 12 inches, 14 inches, 16 inches, 18 inches, 20 inches, 22 inches, and 24 inches. You can install slides of different sizes according to the size of your drawer. Depending on the length of the drawer slide, it can be divided into 27cm, 36cm, 45cm, and other lengths.

The structure of roller slides is relatively simple, consisting of a roller and two rails. It can meet the daily pushing and pulling needs, but the load-bearing capacity is poor, and it does not have buffering and rebound functions. It is often used on computer keyboard drawers and light-duty drawers.

Nylon is the most wear-resistant material. Nylon drawer slides can ensure that cabinet drawers slide out smoothly and quietly, with a soft rebound. Drawer slides made entirely of nylon are rare on the market, while many of them are partially made of nylon.
