Don't slide easily

Seemed very well built. The only problem is they don't slide easily. You have to push them steady the whole way until the soft close mechanism picks up. Not sure if the grease used to lubricate the ball bearings is too thick. I ended up returning them and will try a different brand. I purchased 6 sets and they all were hard to close.

Pros
  • Promotes proper alignment of drawers and doors
Cons
  • Could make it challenging to store larger items in the cabinet

Soft close Drawer slides

This is an excellent product. As a DIY (do it yourselfer) I was able to install them quickly and easily (after the first one which was a bit experimental). What was not covered in the instructions was that you may have to ad a one inch shim to mount the back side of the slide. Once I figured that out the other 5 I installed went fairly smoothly.

Pros
  • Increases accessibility and convenience of stored items
Cons
  • Could make cabinets feel more cluttered

Lonton drawer slides

These are really nice drawer slides. They work smoother than the last brand I purchased. These have metal catch/ release tabs that I hope do not break. The previous brand I installed lasted only 2 years before they broke. Be sure to purchase the brackets for attaching the back of the slide to the cabinet.

Pros
  • Our LONTAN brackets can extend the original length of the slides. The extension length can reach 2.75in (70mm).Please note: We are upgraded drawer slides, if you find the the brackets didn't suitable for drawer slides,please contact us in time
Cons
  • Could cause drawers to stick or not operate smoothly

Failed within 6 months of installation

The slides were easy to install and worked as advertised--for 6 months. Two of the sets failed. The drawers would not longer latch with the retraction mechanism because the plastic pin on the mechanism wore out. I only used 4 of the original 6, so I was able to replace the two failed ones. I will not be buying these again.

Pros
  • Cabinet Hardware
Cons
  • Could cause drawers to become misaligned over time

Good drawer slides, relatively easy install

Worked well, much nicer than previous slides. Got a total of 12 pairs, 1 of the 24 was a bit noisy but I saved it for a drawer that isn't opened much. There are instructions included but I didn't really need them. I also just used the sides of the cabinets, not the rear mount brackets, those I ended up returning. Purchased separate wood screws which were definitely worth it.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Might not fit flush with the cabinet

2 out of 16 rails are broken

I bought 8 pairs of rails to upgrade my kitchen draws. I would buy it once again is needed. They works very well and feels sturdy when mounted. But the installation is not quite easy, find four screw holes (for the rails inside the cabinet frame) on the same plane as a rectangle spend me a lot of time.The plastic soft close part at the end of the frame rail was broken. Ball bearing on one frame rail was broken. I need 7 pairs but bought 8 pairs. I was still good (no need to buy more) but a…

Pros
  • Fits seamlessly with other LONTAN products for a complete cabinet upgrade
Cons
  • Could make it difficult to install or remove additional shelves in the cabinet

Instructions could have been better.

Time will tell if they hold up. But as of now I am very happy with how the drawers move. And they are full of cooking pans. Instructions could have been better boyfriend put dozens of holes in the back of the cabinet before he figured how to install these.

Pros
  • Prevents sagging and misaligned drawers
Cons
  • May not be compatible with certain types of cabinets

This one won in my review

Got this one and another brand from home depot (their best seller) and this one was better- smoother slide and easier soft close.

Pros
  • Increases the value of cabinetry and living spaces
Cons
  • Could create a safety hazard for small children or pets

Worth installing soft close drawer slides

First time user to install the soft close full extension sliders in new cabinets. Making sure your measurement are correct, your ready to install. Nice asset to our new cabinets. Have already ordered more.

Pros
  • Works great.
Cons
  • Might not accommodate certain types of drawer slides
