Full Extension Drawer Slide

Drawer Slide Features

There are several features that can add some character to your home. Currently, we offer drawer slides with the following motion features: 

Easy Close, Soft Close- Both of these terms refer to the same feature. Easy or Soft Close drawer slides will slow down your drawer as it closes, ensuring that it won't slam. 

Full Extension Drawer Slide will pull your drawer closed when you gently press it inwards from the option position. This feature isn't gentle, and it will shut your drawers with some conviction, so be sure that the drawer you choose this type of slide for doesn't contain anything fragile or loud. 

Touch Release- One of the more aesthetically minded features, touch release allows you to use drawers without pulls for handles on the front face. To open the drawer from the closed position, simply press inwards slightly and the drawer will pop open. Touch Release adds a little bit of magic to your home. 

Progressive Movement- Full Extension Drawer Slide, progressive movement improves upon the normal slide to provide a smoother rolling motion. Instead of having each sliding element bump into and catch the next as the drawer opens or closes, all of the sliding members move at once. 

Detent and Locking- A very common feature, detents and locking help to prevent unintended drawer motion, especially on slightly uneven surfaces. Detent In and Detent Out slides will provide a small amount of resistance to opening and closing respectively. This helps drawers stay open or closed when mounted slightly off level. Locking provides additional resistance, and usually locks outwards. This is ideal for applications including pull-out cutting boards and keyboard trays where one requires the slide to stay in the option position when you walk away.
