Misleading Hardware Uprights

Drawer slides are sold in pairs and the description that you are buying a set of 2 is misleading. I made the mistake of buying 3 sets thinking I'd get 2 pairs of drawer slides to suit my needs. However, I only received 3 pairs of slides. I will not buy from someone who is misleading in the product description. I was able to get a refund through Revain but I will not buy from this seller again.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • weak

Smooth as a hot butter knife

Easy to install. Works smoothly, like a hot knife through butter. In terms of strength, it seems really durable. I tore one of the mounts due to my own error (the rail bounced off the mount). The box was closed, for some reason I decided to stand on it. 190 pounds Not a good idea, the ball bearings came loose and I had to throw the part away as I couldn't fix it. So is he strong? Yes.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • New Competitors

Easy installation and perfect replacement for a drawer

Many years ago we bought a new expensive desk. We've moved out several times since then, and while the desk is still in good condition, the keyboard drawer no longer opens and closes easily. I removed the old slides and these new ones lined up with the holes in the old ones. Quick and easy installation and now I have smooth drawer opening and closing again.

  • Price

  • Other Other

Durable, very smooth and worth it.

A few months ago I bought the kit and installed it on a box I made for my workbench. The instructions were very detailed and helped me a lot with the first box I built. The clasp works smoothly and the closer works great even after months of use. I think a lot of the negative feedback comes from those with non-standard (or just plain cheap) boxes or a lack of knowledge. I'm ordering two more sets for the table I'm assembling today.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Closer: Fittings

Excellent product for its price. However, they only sent 5 screws per side, so I had to find a few more of the same size to make sure everything was secure and secure. 1 screw came with a broken head, not sure if this indicates poor screw quality or just a defect in 1 out of several thousand. Easy to swap out, life goes on, rails are still of good quality. Shipping - Some of the plastic on the back of the slides broke during shipping. Not enough to justify a refund/replacement.

Pros
  • Good product for its price
Cons
  • I won't say anything

Loud, not smooth - cabinet fittings

I've been using ball-bearing runners with full extension in my workshop for years. I ordered them because I needed them faster than my supplier could get them to me and now I wish I hadn't. I've always had good results and happy clients with full-size side-mount rails, but it's nothing short of a pain. Just as easy to install as all the others but the drawers were a lot harder to start up and noisy compared to others but the worst part is they just don't slide as smoothly and easily as the…

Pros
  • Easy-to-read control panel
Cons
  • Expensive

Soft Close Feature

I purchased these slides (18" soft close) for use in a shop cabinet I was building. I liked the idea of the soft close feature and having the I don't want to go to my local woodworking shop in current conditions.I read the specs of these rails and decided it was worth a try.Set many types of rails.The problem for me is the soft close mechanism.Sometimes it works and works well, sometimes not, and the drawer just slides back and forth with no latches, I don't think I'll use it for anything else,

Pros
  • Cabinet Hardware
Cons
  • Legacy Model

Nice drawer slides, just don't expect a smooth close

Failed to load media. Bought 6 sets because of the soft close feature and the low price for that feature. At least 2 out of 6 sets work as soft closes. Others have problems with the locking mechanism that holds the spring-loaded section that performs a soft close. The orange lock in the pictures twists and clamps so the soft close unit pops out when the drawer is pulled out. I've included pictures and videos showing a working drawer and a drawer that still works but doesn't close smoothly. In…

Works great on my daughter's dresser from Ikea!

I bought this to replace the cheap sliders that came with my daughter's Ikea dresser. After a while, the original sliders in the Ikea dresser began to buckle under my daughter's weight as she pulled the drawer down when it was fully open. As a result, the drawer no longer slides out smoothly. No matter how hard I tried with my hands to get the plastic sliders back to their original shape, the box still didn't move smoothly. Also, I didn't like that the original plastic sliders didn't close…
