Type of Drawer Slides - Side Mount Full Extension Slide

Side Mount Full Extension Slide – the side-mount full Extension slide enables the user to open the drawer box beyond the face of the cabinet box. Carrying an excessive amount of weight in the drawers could cause sagging, resulting in early replacement. Also it does not support the bottom of the drawer box. The slides may support the weight in the drawer but the drawer box itself may fail. This type of slide is generally an all metal construction with a roller-bearing slide action. It can be a very difficult to install because it's design has a very tight tolerance especially when trying to install through the drawer opening only.
