Review on 6 Pair 14 Inch Soft Close Drawer Slides - LONTAN 4502S3-14 Full Extension 100 LB Heavy Duty Bottom Mount Runners by Paul Walton

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good slides but a challenge to install

I like these slides a lot. They seem well made and sturdy, and I like the slow close action. However, my cabinet does not have perfectly straight sides, and the slides have very tight tolerances. I had to very carefully use shims, with lots of small adjustments along the way with each slide. I installed 7 drawers and had it down pretty well by the last one, but the first one took me and a friend hours to get right.If the surfaces you’re mounting the slides to are not very straight and parallel with the drawer edges, and the gap between the drawer and the mounting surface isn’t almost exactly 1/2 inch, then buy some shims and be prepared to take your time getting it just right. Now that they are installed, they are working well. I have other cabinets that need drawers, and I will be looking for a different type of slides next time.

Pros
  • Far better slide than Promark
Cons
  • If the drawer is too heavy, the slides may not be able to support it
