Review on Gobrico 18-Inch Full Extension Heavy Duty Soft Close Rear/Side Mount Ball Bearing Drawer Slides With Brackets, 10Pairs by James Mcphearson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Love them, two things to make it easy square it and silicone spray.

Yes I like them. And would buy them again.Problem and solutionOk, to be honest I installed one drawer slide and it would not slide good. I thought it was to tight. Hard to pull open and did not feel good at all. I slept on it and read more reviews. Because I am lazy I did not want to pull the drawer apart to send back. Some reviews explained that once oiled they worked. So I sprayed silicone spray on all three parts of the track and BAM it worked great. Go figure so I decided to do the rest of my drawers. It is still hard to pull open because you are setting the spring to soft close the drawer. Hoping this gets easier as we break them in, but I just told my wife it is childproof 😂.Two of the drawers even oiled would not work and I thought they were defective, turns out I did not have the back bracket squared up good. Since they were not square they did not close good. If this happens to you try this. Loosen 1 bracket/slider at the back (see photo). Then push the drawer in half way. If you can reach under and tighten like this do it. If you can’t reach then look and see how much your bracket moved (mark with pencil) pull the drawer out again and use your pencil mark as guide to tighten bracket and bam it worked great.Kreg JigWorked great for me, I could not have done it without the Kreg Jig. I am not carpenter or handy. Watched you tube video, through directions away and did it. Very simple. Even if you make your own you will need some sort of jig. Because I used these on old cabinets some of my drawers were a little wonky. The jig allowed me to see and adjust as I installed.These will allow you to pull your drawer all the way open. Love that feature.

Pros
  • easy to install, work well.
Cons
  • Installation may require professional skills
