How much room do I need above my side mount slides to install these? there is only an inch or so above my slides on my shallow drawers. thanks

Are your drawers really that shallow? You need about 2-3 inches. Are your slides located on the bottom edge of the drawer? If not, you may be able to mount the device under the slides. Otherwise, you're out of luck.

Unfortunately an inch won't be enough room above your slides. The striker sits below the soft close mechanism and is over inch long itself. I would say you need at least a couple inches of vertical space to install these.

As seen in this picture, they get mounted to the bottom edges of the drawer and to the inside lower wall of the space that the drawer is going to slide in. Each pair of slides takes 1/2". So if your opening for a drawer say 16", your drawer is going to be 15" wide. They are not designed for a lot of weight. The mounting screws are very short.

I measured the clearance between the top and bottom inside surfaces of the slide holder and it measures 0.128" (1/8") on mine. Unless you have exceptionally thick slide frames, I would think it would work. Better measure how thick your slide frames are.

Hi Susan, Hi Susan, Yes, those will secure your slides to back of cabinet. But with full extension slides you be much better off if you can figure a way to secure the slides to the cabinet walls rather than putting all the leveraged weight on those brackets. If you can fill in space between cabinet wall and face frame with strips of plywood. You can run the up and down at screw holes on slide or horizontal for single drawer installation. It's cheaper too! Good luck.

A 15" slide could be made to work. You will have to add a 1" spacer to the back of the drawer, this assuming there is enough depth to the cabinet itself. You also need to be sure there is a half inch from the bottom of the drawer sides to the underside of the drawer bottom.

I don't understand your question. By rear sockets do you mean mounting the unit on the back of the drawer cavity rather than the side? You can use slides shorter than the drawer if desired, but that will mean your full drawer opening will be comprised somewhat.

These go on both sides at the front of the drawer opening in the chest, with the long dimension perpendicular to the vertical sides of the opening and the short dimension up against the edge of the opening. The bottom of the side walls of the drawer slide on these. To install them, you'll probably have to use either a small hammer or the side of a hammer and it works best if you put a small piece of wood or something stiff and flat, even a putty knife between the glide and the hammer so you're actually distributing the load on the glide, otherwise the head of the tack in the glide will break through. If it does, you can still make the glide work by hammering the tack down with a nail set. Photo posted.

I don't think these will work for you they are more than a 1/4 thick on just one side. These are for a drawer that you want to pull all the way ouy.

The entire back is open. Without having it near to measure, plan on the width of the cabinet, less ~ 1-inch for the combined side boards. Also, the slide-out drawer is not full depth, so you have 3+inches behind it. I have a lot of wires/extension cords stuffed behind it, and still able to slide tight agains the wall, hiding all of them (except for the outlet on the wall). I hope that helps.

When I measure the extension on an uninstalled drawer slide, the central piece will move out from the base a maximum of 20 inches.I am not familiar enough to know if it will perform the same when installed, and I have not used mine yet.

I mounted these directly to the side of the cabinet/dresser using the screws provided with the slides. I went a step further and bought some extra screws to strengthen the mounting (very inexpensive). I'm not sure what your application is, but these slides really work well. I can't imagine the KV brackets would be any less sturdy.

Yes. They have a tension spring, allowing them to fit drawer depth anywhere between 1ft - 1.5ft.

Short answer: No. They have to be mounted in a vertical position only. I would add, these are excellent slides. I have used them for many projects and they have always worked flawlessly. Can't beat the value and quality.

They are designed to allow the draw sides to glide on them since with a center slide mount, there is only support in the middle. With out them installed, the draw would wobble. These take up the slack and give the draw a smooth surface to slide on. They are installed directly under the sides of the draw, on the cabinet.

It should install ok but you may not be able to slide the drawer all the way in. Another tip is unless you can turn the disk upside to install the side supports try using this. I used a couple of flat pieces of wood about 3\4 wide by 4" long and then used a small C clamp on each side to hold them. Gary

No, these are side mount slides. There are specific slides that are designed for under drawer mount.
