Gobrico 12 inch Drawer Slides 1 Pair，Soft Close Drawer Slides 3 Fold, Cabinet Drawer Slides Full Extension Drawer Slides, Heavy Duty Slide Rails, Side Mount Ball Bearing Tracks Guide Drawer Glides

I ordered 10 sets of these to add sliding drawers to some kitchen pantry cabinets and lowers. I was very pleasantly surprised with the sturdiness and quality of these slides. I’m super happy with the product and final result. The slow-close feature works especially well (see video). Especially for the price. Installation notes: 1) I swapped the flared head 1/2” screws that came with slides to pan head 1” screws to get more bite and to give the slide mechanism more clearance. 2) You need to get the drawer width j-u-s-t right for the slides to fit together easily and work properly. To within about 1/16”. I ended up making a very snug template and then shaving/planing down one side on each assembled drawer for the final fit.

I have a king size platform bed with large drawers underneath for storage. One day I decided to move the bed on my own. Unfortunately that was my first mistake, I had to take the frame apart because it is to heavy for me to lift and even after taking it apart it was still too heavy but rather than getting help, (second mistake) I decided to remove the drawers to make it even lighter. It's supposed to be easy, you slide this little piece of plastic up to unlock and pull off track to remove drawer. Well that part was easy. The hard part was getting the drawer back on the tracks when it was time to put it back under the bed. It never did line up right and after that the drawer became harder and harder to close. One day it came off the track and I could see the beads lining the track had fell out, and part of the track was bent and damaged, I guess from pulling and shoving it back in place. At this point it was unrepairable. I love the bed frame and didn't want to replace it so I ordered this product. I ordered the same size as the old track. I had my doubts but it was easy to install. I lined it up with the same screw holes as the old one and the drawer fits perfectly. No issues so far I even removed the drawer and put it back on track to make sure I could easily remove the drawer if needed.

Well made. So far . Replaced on a tool box drawer. I do like the soft close feature.

i'm tired of our old drawers. the friction is annoying. the breaking and misalignments--horrible. so as i upgraded our kitchen drawers and utensil drawers, i tested a bunch. many are more expensive than this gobrico. i found these drawer slides great. will definitely buy any chance i can--esp for the good value they provide. never had a problem with any. all soft close without issues. my kids no longer manhandle or break the drawers. will build some underbed drawers next if they have a super long size for these. i felt they were the same /equal as the more expensive, well known drawer slides. and way less expensive.

The best. Perfect for a van build. I used these in my van build, and have found that you don't need latches with these, because they require force to pull open and this seems to keep them from popping open when on the road, additionally, they are so smooth. Love these, will only buy these from now on.

I have finished installing my second set of 10 pair. The fit and finish of these slides is very good. As noted the screws sent are short. However it is possible to use up to a # 8 torx screw and still have the mechanism clear the screw heads. I do not usually read 5 star or 1 star reviews hence the four star. I'll ding for the small screws but so what. Installation instructions have never been a part of drawer slide purchases that I remember. So here's a couple of hints. when you take a set out of the box move the drawer part back and forth to understand how the self close pin works. You will probably have to set the self close mech in the forward position by hand when you put the drawer into place. I always build my drawers one inch and a small 1/16 undersize. It is easier to shim than to grind the drawer side down with a belt sander. The absolute best small shim for any project is asphalt roofing (tar paper). 15 # tar paper requires 3 pieces to make up 1/16 of an inch. It is not affected by water and tapered shims are a pita. As I stated all full extension drawer slides are very very width sensitive. spend the time and get it right normally slides last 12 plus years. To install the cabinet side of the slide in the carcass (the box all cabinets start with) cut a piece of plywood scrap to rest the top slide on. Mount both sides, then rip the scrap down to mount the next lowest slide set contine to the lowest drawer. The front of the drawer slide should be mounted a big 1/16 or an 1/8 back from the cabinet face. I just set this by eye. The soft close spring makes up any difference between sides. Back to the tar paper shim Cut pieces with a utility knife, if they are exposed at the end of the project trim them with the knife. For the slides I used a pair of scissors and notched my little squares. Then by backing out a screw I could wrap the shim around the screw and retighten. My drawers are always made of #2 pine then picked through so they are effectively clear. Router cut dovetails make them bomb proof. Some of my drawers are on their third set of sliders. I used 5/8 long screws from my blum stash, and where I needed big shims in the carcass I used some 1 1/4 torx screws. Your time is a long term investment here. Just did seven more and came up with a new move. All the above is still true. Mount the cabinet portions and one side onto the drawer. Say left side is on drawer, with the right side assembled (in cabinet) insert the drawer (slide on left and shim to height on right) and use a flashlight to see the gap between drawer and unattached side. That space is the exact space you need to shim. If the assembled, but not attached, slide comes out when you operate the drawer you need to belt sand the drawer narrowerer.

Reason for the review change from 5 stars to 3. This was my fourth set as I'm gradually converting all my kitchen Drawers. Couldn't get this one to close properly, kept stopping half closed. The build quality is quite good so it had me puzzled. After closer examination, I noticed a slight bend in the one unit. Could have happened during shipping or manufacturing process. Not worth returning so I'll just have to push the drawer shut extra hard. May have to go to another brand to finish the project.

I needed a space saving solution for a high traffic multiperson desk. put all the keyboards, mice and specialty CAD controllers and flightsticks on them. they are heavy duty and sturdy for precision work. the locking mechanism is also nice and saved our shins. will buy again 10/10
