Side-Mount Drawer Slides

When choosing drawer slides for your cabinets, side-mount drawer glides and ball-bearing slides are a solid choice for durability and functionality. By placing a linear slide on each side of the drawer, effortless movement during opening and closing is achieved. These premium-quality, heavy-duty ball bearing drawer slides hold up to 250 pounds and, unlike wooden or plastic slides, the high-end ball-bearing glides are self-lubricating and won’t stick. However, unlike other side mount slides that only require ½” of space between the side of the door and the cabinet, the heavy-duty side mount slides require ¾” of space to ensure there’s enough room for installation.

Side-mount drawer glides differ from other types of drawer slides because they’re visible. If you’re looking to highlight the craftsmanship of your cabinets, you may want to choose a center mount or undermount design.

Woodworker Express carries more than 400 side-mount, ball-bearing drawer slides, including self-closing drawer glides and popular soft-close slides which close on their own and prevent slamming, reducing the potential for damage to the drawer and its contents. We also have convenient push-open slides that automatically open when you nudge the front of the drawer.

Push-Open, Side Mount Ball Bearing Slides

Push-open drawer slides have become a popular feature in modern kitchens and bathrooms, and you can add this touch to your cabinets at a great price from WoodworkerExpress.com. Rather than pulling open like traditional drawers, these side mount ball bearing slides have an opening mechanism that activates when they are pushed. The drawer then opens enough for you to pull it the rest of the way. This system eliminates the need for knobs and handles, giving your home or office a modern aesthetic while giving one less thing for people and pets to hurt themselves on. And if your hands are full, you can open a drawer with your hip or knee instead.

These ball bearing push-to-open slides are manufactured to the same high standard as our other side mount drawer slides and are just as easy to install. We carry full extension slides from top brands in a variety of lengths and finishes so any drawer in your home can have this feature. They are commonly used for recycling drawers, medical cart drawers, storage furniture and other situations where hands-free access is an advantage. We guarantee you'll be satisfied with our options and prices!

Soft Close, Side Mount Ball Bearing Slides

For smooth, quiet cabinet drawers that can handle heavy loads, choose ball bearing side mount slides for your project.
