Handles, difficult to open/close, poor quality

is the least "slidable" drawer slide I have ever used. They require you to actually close the drawer, not any other slide I've seen that requires minimal effort to close the drawer. Opening it isn't easy either. Thank god I only installed three of them, I will never order this brand again.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Security

Great quality for the money

Exactly what you get in the store but a lot cheaper. Some reviewers have had sticking or jamming issues, but I've never experienced that. Out of the box they have always worked flawlessly. I've used over 30 of these of various lengths on various projects and if you have a good box size you're good to go. I will continue to buy drawer slides.

Pros
  • Good item
Cons
  • Requires an outlet

No durability - falling apart

When adjusting the drawer they were intended for, I had to take the drawer out a few times to access the alignment holes. After the third drawer was removed, the skid resisted and lost several bearings. I had to take it off and throw it away. Another small detail - there were no screws in the kit. All the others I used in making the boxes even included the correct screws. What worries me the most is that the guides fall apart so quickly.

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

Does not grip or close properly.

Doesn't snap or close. It turns itself off as soon as I open the drawer. I even had an expert check our rig and he said it was a defective product and not our rig. He said a part appeared to be missing (and we installed it with everything that came with it!). It's too late to come back and if we did we'd have to reinstall the old one, which is too cumbersome, so we'll stick with it. waste of money.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Not the best

Good but with incorrect mounting screws

This is my first experience with Liberty drawer slides, my opinion is generally positive. My only issue with this product is that they supply beveled screws and not low profile pan head screws. It's not that you can't use the screws that come with the kit; They're just not what you should be using, they will almost certainly loosen up over time. Screws aside, I'm happy with the smooth closing and overall glide quality.

Pros
  • Rated for normal use (load up to 50lbs)
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks

Soft closes are rubbish, otherwise they run smoothly

Unfortunately, these rails don't last long. I built a table and set up a pencil drawer with a handyman tool cabinet drawer. Looks great but the soft close function has been working for about two weeks. With a mechanical mind, I tried to troubleshoot the slides, but I never figured out what the problem was. I've tried squeezing the shutter mounts closer, pulling them out a little, tilting the corners, slopes, etc., but eventually gave up. The drawer won't close anymore, but I'm sure of one…

Pros
  • The soft close function closes each drawer gently and quietly
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Don't know what others are complaining about

This is the first set of cushioning rails I've installed on furniture I've assembled. They decided on some custom bedside tables. They're heavy, durable, and don't have the "cheap" or "junk" marks that other reviewers have mentioned. They have good smooth bearings and the soft close mechanism is strong and holds the drawer tight. Other than that, my wife's only complaint was about the magnetic soft close feature, you actually have to pull the drawer quite hard to disengage and open it (hence 4…

Pros
  • Full instructions and mounting hardware included
Cons
  • Not sure
