Review on πŸ—„οΈ Promark Capacity Extension Drawer with Bearing by Craig Lovro

Revainrating 5 out of 5

First install works very well with some oil

They seem good. I've only installed one so far. They arrived quite quickly, the packaging is good but no visible damage. The automatic closing mechanism isn't as powerful as the Liberty branded slide I bought, but it works GREAT. I put some oil in the bearings (I think 10W-40) to loosen the slip a bit. I replaced a 30 year old 2/3 slide and the combination of full extension, smooth sliding (with the added lube mentioned above) and smooth self-closing is truly fantastic. The contents of the drawer now stay in place and I can access them. tldr; Some have complained about the lack of installation instructions, according to FWIW. installation instructions. is exposed in the narrowest, innermost (retractable) slideway. This drawer slide is the piece that attaches to your drawer. I have front frame cabinets. I reused the mounting screws from my old floorboards. I installed the fixed/outer part of the drawer slides and touched the bottom of the drawer opening. I held the bar at 24" so I could still see the bubble, then marked the location for the rear screw. I used three screws for each mounting side. I've found that small screws go straight into the side supports without drilling plywood can be screwed in, which saves me time on later installations.Lift the drawer up a little (1/16" from the counter and then slide it all the way over the counter and pressing the template against the wall of the drawer, I slid the Drawer slide out to touch the front of the drawer and traced about halfway through the mounting holes on the cardboard.Then I unclipped the removable drawer slide, lined it up over the template and finished tracing its holes.Then I marked the drill locations,drilled the template and marked them: front, back, left, right. After that, drilling the drawers and attaching the rails was easy and quick. U To complete the assembly: Align the inside of the drawer slides with the slides installed on the cabinet, slide inward and fully close the drawer to attach the locking mechanisms. When the drawer is opened, this mechanism must be "cocked" on both sides to the open position. Pushing the drawer almost closed should cause the drawer to self-close and close slowly. Install the fixed/outer portion of the track flush with the front of your cabinet. Be symmetrical and parallel. As previously mentioned, DO NOT screw into the self-closing mechanism area or it will bind. not working smoothly, make sure that each mechanism is pushed forward on BOTH sides before closing the drawer, and then that both mechanisms are properly tensioned each time the drawer is opened.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
