What Installation Considerations Are considered

Proper 16 inch ball bearing full extension door rails installation ensures optimal performance from your 16 Inch Ball Bearing Full Extension Drawer Slides. Key considerations include:
– Cabinet Dimensions: The cabinet interior should be approximately 1-1.5 inches wider than the slide length (17-17.5 inches for 16-inch slides).
– Drawer Construction:

Drawer boxes should be 1 inch narrower than cabinet interior to allow proper clearance (typically ½ inch per side).
– Mounting Alignment: Slides must be installed perfectly level and at identical heights on both sides—even minor misalignment causes binding in deep slides.
– Weight Distribution: For very heavy loads, consider reinforcing drawer boxes with additional joinery or thicker materials.

include mounting screws and often a template for precise installation. For best results, install the cabinet members first, ensuring they’re parallel, then attach drawer members to the drawer box before engaging the two components.

Can These Slides Be Used with Soft-Close Mechanisms?

16 inch ball bearing full extension door rails Slides feature a positive stop at full extension, many can be upgraded with aftermarket soft-close adapters. These devices, typically installed at the rear of the slide, use hydraulic or pneumatic damping to gently catch and close the drawer during the final few inches of travel.

For integrated soft-close functionality, look for specific “self-closing” or “soft-close” models within the same product line. Whether standard or soft-close, the ball bearing mechanism ensures the smooth motion necessary for these features to work effectively, preventing the jerky motion that can defeat damping systems.
