Soft Close Drawer Slides 22 Inch Drawer Slides 10 Pairs - LONTAN Ball Bearing Drawer Slides Heavy Duty Full Extension Drawer Slides, LB Capacity. out of 5 stars $  I will add these slides are rather stiff initially. They work better with some actual weight in the drawer, and take some time to break in as the grease is pretty thick. On a few of my slides I ended up using a few washers to fine tune. I would say probably better to error on the side of a little small than too big. The tolerances with any drawer slides like this are very close, so accurate measurements are essential. I had to put a stretcher bar in one of my cabinets as the side of the cabinet actually bowed outward. Self-closing epoxy drawer slides are economical, easy to install and versatile. But they do have one downside. They can be noisy when the drawer closes. Well, if you’ve ever wished for quieter-closing drawers.

In case side-mount drawer sliders are not your thing and you want something different and with its own benefits — this pack of under-mount drawer slides may please you. Because of high humidity that can affect wood drawers, summer is the most common time for this problem to take place. Unfortunately, my suspicions soft close drawer slides stiff with right. Sandpaper Tongue 3 years ago. Broadly speaking, there are friction slides and ones on rails. Well, to be honest, these sliders do not wiith durable for a long time.

We can tell if they are blum or not. Most knockoffs of the Blum slides use the Blum specifications for drawer manufacture, which can be downloaded from the Blum website.

Download the Tandem brochure and find the right page for your slides pg 21 is my guess. To be absolutely sure you need to find out what brand slides you have and get in touch with that company. Any drawers out of spec sizewise need to be remade, but the drawer fronts can be re-used. Here is a link that might be useful: Blum literature. By the way- Blum is not the best on the market just the best marketshare- don't get me wrong they are ok but they are not the best by far.

Some slide companies make a soft close and a self close. I have found that the self close are tougher to open. Good news though- slides can be replaced. Most slides use the same clearance tolerances and specs so they can be interchanged so if you simply don't like them you can have them replaced.

I thought my Kraftmaids were hard at first and then they weren't. I don't know if I got used to them or there's a period of them adjusting themselves. When you say hard to open and close are you meaning really, really hard?? Or just something you're not used to yet? I talked to the cabinet maker. They are definitely not made by blum. I was basically told this is how these are and if I wanted something that opens and closes easier then I would need to change them out for the blum and they would need to make all new drawer boxes.

The cabinet guy said we should have known they would have resistance and would be alot harder to open and close. Should we have known this? I mean everything I've read and all the drawers I've tested did not have this problem. Are we really at fault? Should he not have told us the pro and cons? Needless to say the cabinet maker is not very happy with me right now.

I'm so stressed as majority of my base cabinets are drawers with the exception of the two corners. I had to basically tug at the drawer the entire time to get it to open and push extremely hard to close. It almost felt there there was a resistance band on it when I try to open and then something resisting me closing it.

I thought I was being wimpy so I had my husband try - he has found that it was really, really hard to open AND close. Does your cabinetmaker have any displays in his shop that you can go check out to compare with what you have?

Any "references" he can give for you to check out to make sure that they're "supposed" to be like that? I doubt it. There's a problem with the glides most likely and he doesn't want to waste his time fixing it.

But thats just my opinion. Look for the 'made in china' stamp. Please post photos so that we can debunk the cabinet maker's claim of 'resistance'.

This is becoming a recurring problem. One more comment- our blum self close, soft close with 50 lbs worth of stuff inside can be opened with the pull of a finger. Travisalfrey, could you share with us some of the other brands that are as good as, or better than blum?

That doesn't sound like they're working correctly at all. I have Kraftmaid cabinets, so I don't have Blum brand glides - but my drawers open and close fine. Perhaps not as nicely as Blums I've never used Blums, so I can't compare , but they open easily, and close themselves after I give them a reasonable "push".

Now, this is only after my cabinets were replaced. The carpenter had originally installed the cabinets badly, putting the boxes out of square - then the drawers didn't work well at all.

Once the cabs were replaced we had to reorder them! That makes no sense. When you test out cabinets at a store or display, there is nothing in them! The soft-close drawers I've seen are still soft-close when there's nothing in them. Cabinet maker has agreed to replace all the drawer slides to blum.

He said he will need to remake all the drawer boxes to accommodate the new slides. Does this sound right? Can anyone tell me if the blum slides are bottom mounted or side mounted? The current crappy slides are side mounted and they take up alot of space, therefore making my drawer boxes smaller. BTW, thanks for everyones support on this. All the information that was provided in response to my post helped my case when I had to talk to my cabinet maker today.

My newly installed cabinets have bottom-mounted Blum glides. There is an initial resistance when opening the drawer, but my 6 and 8 year old daughters can do it without a problem. You do have to give them a little tug, so it feels a little strange never having had this kind of glide before , but not difficult.

Hettich makes high quality cabinetry hardware - a bit more up market than Blum as I understand it. Side mount full extension and soft close are different than Blumotion which are undermounted ball bearing glides if I have my terminology right. With undermounted ball bearing glides your drawers will be wider and it will have a very different feel.

How deep are your cabinets? I think hettich is the best made. I also like the motion of the Accuride but Accuride has a difference clearance than blum or hettich so they are not interchangable. I use the accurides on inset jobs because they are the most adjustable. How can I tell if the Blum soft close, self close will fit? This is the wrong question to be asking.

You simply TELL the custom cabinetry maker what you want an he goes and makes it in the size necessary to fit your space. This should be part of the specifications that are given to the cabinet shop. This is the glide that's mounted inside the cabinet. They are the only kind I use and work get when installed properly. The drawers have to be made to specific specifications. You can't change out cheap side-mounted slides without making all new drawers.

May I join in on this discussion with my dilemma? My cabinets were installed this week and Accuride slides are totally dis-functional! If you push the drawers softly, they don't close; if you push them with enough force to close completely they bounce open.

IMO, they are unacceptable. They are really easy to open, and pretty much close themselves without banging if I get them close enough they kind of "suck themselves in".

The side-mount glides on the Rev A Shelf? One more voice in the discussion. We are building out our kitchen and have many Blum Tandem soft close units.

They work smooth and correctly. BUT, we have had 3 of the catches as pictured above but with a small white plastic tab for bottom screw install break. They have all broken in the same spot, on the plastic that I described My vendor did replace 2 so far, waiting on the third.

Here is a link that might be useful: our kitchen project. I just renovated my Kitchen and got the same story from my cabinet maker. My drawer slides are Hardware Concept Inc from Florida. I am in Jupiter FL. I contacted the company and they said that I should not be having these issues with the drawers and that it was my cabinet maker who has installed the product incorrectly. The company has done nothing to help correct the problem and my cabinet maker insists that people in Florida don't use soft close because they are hard to open and need to be loaded in order to work properly.

I never have heard such crap before. I asked the cabinet maker to use Blumotion because it is a fabulous product I have in my other home. All drawer sizes work beautifully and have for 4 years. He said the Hardware Concept product was as good if not better so I agreed to go with the product he wanted.

Little did I know he had no idea how to install the product. They have been installed twice and still do not work properly. I am left with with drawers that do not work the way they are suppose to work. Your cabinet maker is giving you the run-around! I am in the Jupiter area also and have had soft close drawers and cabinets for 5 plus years and they work perfectly.

We just renovated our kitchen and my new Blumotion work flawlessly also. If the cabinet maker has tried to install your glides correctly twice, and they still don't work properly, I would call the manufacturer and have them recommend a competent installer to fix them for you.

I just picked up a coffee table that I had made from a customer to fix this very problem- I had used self closing side mount slides due to the fact that the drawers are so small in height Blumotion wouldn't work.

It is being used by an older person and I agree that it is hard to pull the drawer open. The work great the other way. This is the first time this has happened to my in over 35 years and thousands of drawer installs. No one should have to fight to get their drawer open. Yes and it is our responsibility as pros to communicate and do a great show and tell with the customer. Note: Although the home owner is the final customer--I did this for a designer here in Scottsdale Arizona-she being a pro has given me time to fix before the home owner sees it and moves in.

That is a great designer to plan in her project management risks and small fixes in her timeline. I have just had them installed came from Lowes and have the same issue. But I DO have a solution for you. In the very back of the mounted guide rail on each side of the drawer you will see a gray plastic mechanism.

Do this on both guide rails both sides. Now, with the gray mechanisms released, the drawers will slide smoothly and easily back and forth on the rails. BUT, do not push the drawer back hard enough to make then re-engage with the gray mechanisms - just let them come to rest at the back. If you push too hard, you will re-engage the gray mechanisms. This solves the hard pulling problem, but you lose the soft-close feature.

Try it and see! But maybe your advice will help someone else finding the thread I just got new drawers and some feel a little hard to open. How exactly should I clean the tracks? Damp cloth? Sign In. Join as a Pro. They are installed on the backside before you install the slides. There are elongated holes on the front side of these slides. You must have seen those drawers that tend to lean downwards. This happens because of substandard material used in the drawer slides.

These slides from Blum have exceptional load capacity; they can bear maximum static load of lb. Again, this should not be confused with other 10 pair packs from ProMark. While the name and many features of the both of these packs are the same, there is one key difference. This one is a soft-close one, while the previously reviewed one is a pack of simple side-mount slides the non-soft-closing ones.

What you get when you buy by clicking on the link is a pack of 10 pairs of slides, with 20 slides in total. These are side mount slides — pretty standard slide systems that you see mostly in drawers. When it comes to the type of these slides, what makes them better than most of the side-mount slides is that they are soft or self-close slides.

These slides are so highly sought after because unlike those loud and free-rolling slides that most of us see every day, they have a soft-closing mechanism. That mechanism takes over the closing process before the drawer is completely shut and silently closes the drawer.

Just like in case of all high-quality drawer slides, these slides also have a lever disconnect feature. This feature makes it super easy to remove the drawer from the cabinet. There is a limited lifetime warranty on these slides from ProMark. Just like other side-mount slides from ProMark the non-soft-closing ones , these slides are also made of cold-rolled steel.

The biggest benefit of using this type of process is that the product becomes stronger and sturdier than those processed in hot-rolled steel. Just like the Blum drawer slides, these too are made of industrial-grade steel that ensures maximum load capacity. These slides and the drawer can easily withstand a load up to lbs.

These are non-handed slides just like the other pack of slides from Pro-Mark; you can use any of them on any side of a drawer. These slides also feature a steel ball-bearing mechanism. Steel ball-bearings are the reason why you open and shut drawers with such ease and comfort. However, affordable price is not the only reason why you should consider buying this pack.

These are standard side-mount slides so unless you want under-mount ones, you can fearlessly buy these high-quality slides. This is sort of the best deal that you can get. Not only this pack of slides is the most affordable one, but it seems to be checking all the boxes self-closing, full-extension, 10 pairs, and whatnot.

One of the features is a steel ball-bearing mechanism that makes opening and closing easier. Another good news about this pack of slides is that you would not have to buy essential accessories separately; everything that is needed for installation and functioning of these slides is included in the pack. These accessories include slides, brackets, and installation screws. All these slides are full-extension slides, which means that after installing these slides properly, you should be able to open the drawer to the full extent size of these slides.

This thing is exactly what removal levers are. You can use this to swiftly remove the drawer from the cabinet. If you click the link above, you will get a pack of 10 pairs of high-quality side-mount slides.

There are 20 slides in total. This is not your ordinary pack of side-mount slides, these slides have a soft-close mechanism. These slides are made of cold-rolled steel: the usual material used on top of the line drawer slides. This pack of drawer slides also has the steel ball-bearing mechanism inside each slide. This helps with swift and easy opening and closure. There are 2 rows of steel balls in each slide which keep the drawer from derailing.

This is something new and different from the pretty usual features that you notice in the case of every other drawer slide pack. The double anti-drop function keeps the drawer from coming out of the cabinet. Full-extension means that you get to open the drawer to the full extent of the slides. In case you do not need a big pack of 5 to 10 pairs of drawer slides, but you only need slides for one drawer, you should definitely go for this option.

This is the only 1 pair pack that I picked for this list and its features are simply just as amazing as they can be in case of any top of the line soft-closing drawer slides. So, the most important detail that you should know is that this is a pack of one pair of two slides. These are side-mount slides: the standard style and type of drawer slides.

These are soft-closing drawer slides. Just like the above reviewed LONTAN slides, these also have hydraulic dampener that takes charge of closing right before the drawer is about to be shut, and it does so in a silent way. This pair of slides is also made of cold-rolled steel. As we know, cold-rolled steel coated with Zinc stays strong for years to come and stays free of corrosion. The dual ball-bearing rows in these slides, keep them up and running.

You enjoy a smooth and labor-free opening and closure. This is also a pack of full extension slides; as you know these are the slides that let you open the drawer up to their maximum size. On the front side of these slides, there are elongated holes that you can use for depth adjustment. This means that you can play with the abovementioned sizes of the slides and get the kind of results you want.

They want to know what to look for when buying drawer slides. There are two ways you can categorize these slides. All drawer slides are not the same. Then there comes another category and that is based on the positioning of slides. A slide is a simple and complex item at the same time. Let us talk about what makes it simple. All slides have to have a sliding mechanism.

Either a slide has a roller mechanism that uses plastic or other material wheels to make the inner part roll easily, or a slide comes with steel ball-bearings that do the same thing that rollers do.

While roller drawer slides are cheap, their plastic parts do not last for very long. On the other steel ball-bearings are expensive, but they are sort of there forever and they offer a smoother and easier opening. This is a very important part: the sort of things that hide in plain sight. Because all of us are so hell-bent on details like soft-close or not and under-mount or side-mount. Definitely, all drawers are not made equal. You have to get the slides based on the size of the drawer.

It is true that elongated holes let you make some depth adjustments, but there is a limit to that customization. In the end, the size of your slides must conform to the size of the drawer. As I said, all drawers are not made equal. You must consider the kind of weight your drawers are going to lift before you pick a drawer slides pack.

The best of them can bear weight as much as lbs, but this is the limit and you should know that actual weight loading capacity would be less than this. In case, if the budget is not a problem, you should buy under-mount, soft-closing drawer slides. Because soft-closing minimizes the accident, trauma, and noise-pollution that result in a case of slamming and because under-mount slides ensure a neat and clean drawer profile.
