The Function and Structure of Drawer Slides

In family life, some storage space is very important. In the storage of small objects, drawers are the links between these cabinets. The key to the drawer's ability to pull and pull lies in the function of the slide. It can be said that the slide is the primary accessory of the drawer. The assembly of the slide also needs attention. Let's take a look at the relevant knowledge of drawer slides with Rongtai!

1. The Role of Drawer Slides

Drawer slides are commonly used accessories in furniture, which are used as guides for the movement of drawers or other moving parts, and are often equipped with bearings. The material of the drawer slide determines the comfort of the drawer during sliding. Plastic rollers, wear-resistant nylon, and steel balls are the most common materials for drawer slides. Quiet and smooth sliding is the best way to distinguish the quality of the slide. For cabinets, if hinges are the heart of the cabinet, then the slide is the kidney. The ability of small and large storage drawers to slide freely depends on the support of the drawer slide.

2. The Structure of Drawer Slides

The hidden three-section drawer slide has an adjustable pin structure. When installed, the adjustment pin can be used to adjust the height of the drawer. Then use the locking pin of the damping slide to lock the drawer, and the drawer can be pushed and pulled freely. If you want to remove the drawer, just pull out the locking pin of the slide to lift the drawer off the slide.

3. The Installation Method of Drawer Slides

First, determine what kind of drawer slide to use. Generally, a three-section hidden slide is used. According to certain data, determine the length of your drawer and the depth of the cabinet, and choose the appropriate size to install on the drawer.

Secondly, assemble the five boards of the drawer, screw them together, and process the drawer panel with card slots. After assembly, place the drawer on the installed slide so that the adjustment pin holes match, and then push the locking pin into the drawer to lock it with the slide.

Finally, install the cabinet. Screw the plastic holes on the side panels of the cabinet, and then install the rail that was removed from below. For each slide, two small screws are used for each side to temporarily fix it. The sides of the cabinet must be assembled and fixed. After the drawer slide is installed, align the end of the hook rail on both sides of the drawer side board with the end of the fixed rail, and then push it outwards. You will hear a small click, which means that the hook rail and the fixed rail are linked, and the drawer can be pushed and pulled freely.
