  • Less expensive style of drawer slide

  • They have slick ball bearings that make opening and closing very easy
  • They separate to allow one part of the slide to be fastened to the cabinet and the other attached to the drawer
  • The slides are easily seen after installation due to the nature of their positions
  • A smaller drawer box would be required as apr 1" of width is lost due to the placement of slides

What are under-mount drawer slides?

  • Installed underneath the drawer
  • Slightly harder installation
  • Provides excellent side-by-side stability
  • Can handle a larger weight capacity
  • Slides are not visible

Frequently Asked Questions About Choosing and Installing Drawer Slides

How do you choose which drawer slides to use?

Regardless of which style you choose, you can't go wrong choosing a ball-bearing slide. Both will give you a pleasant experience when opening and closing drawers because whether in the shop or home, there is nothing better than a smooth operating drawer.

If cost a consideration:
Stick with a side-mount option

Under-mount is the way to go

How to install drawer slides?

The installation techniques will differ based on what style of drawer slides you have chosen. Refer to the blog post and video above for helpful information.

What size drawer slides do I need?

You will want to measure the length of the box - not the drawer front. Place your measuring tape at the back of the drawer box and measure. Do not include the drawer face. If the number is 20 1/2" long, you will round down to the closet number which is 20".

What is a soft-close drawer slide?

To prevent the sound of the drawer clicking upon closing, a special mechanism is used that slows down the final few inches of the closing process. This eliminates the sound as well as protects the contents of the drawer from moving around. This design is helpful in the longevity of the cabinet.
