Review on 15 Pairs Of Gobrico 14-Inch Full Extension Soft Close Ball Bearing Drawer Slides With 3 Folds And Brackets by Udders Sharma

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Very Tight, Hard to Open and Do Not Close On Own

I have installed drawer slides bought off shelf at big box stores many times before without problem getting to work smoothly. These are a different story. I measured every drawer and frame opening and they all are within acceptable tolerance of specs on slides, but once installed almost all of the drawers do not operate smoothly at all. They are very tight, hard to pull open until they pass half way extended then it is easier. Same with closing, once they are a few inches from being closed they get very tight and bind up not allowing drawer to close by the spring in the guide alone and requiring them to be pushed to fully close. I gave them a very long break-in period just to be sure and after several months of use they have not improved, still tight. I would NOT recommend.

Pros
  • Hardware
Cons
  • The 14-inch length may not be suitable for drawers that are larger or smaller than average, limiting the product's utility
