How to choose cabinet drawer slides


1.According to the needs of kitchen cabinets, buy the right model.

The purchase of cabinet hardware accessories must be matched with the cabinets. Therefore, the model requirements for the accessories such as the basket slides are extremely strict, and the length of the slide rails and the requirements for the basket are the key considerations. If the basket is to be placed in a very heavy load, pay great attention to the load-bearing capacity of the basket slides and the number of push-pulls that the rails can withstand under load-bearing conditions.



2.Internal structure

Inside the slide rail is its bearing structure, which is directly related to its load-bearing capacity. There are both steel ball slides and silicon wheel slides on the market. The steel ball slide rails automatically remove the dust and dirt on the slide rails by rolling the steel balls, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the slide rails and not affecting the sliding function due to the dirt entering the interior. At the same time, the steel ball can spread the force around, ensuring the stability of the basket horizontally and vertically.


3.Bearing capacity

The quality of the slides directly affects the load-bearing capacity of the drawer. The load-bearing capacity of the basket can be detected by the following method: the basket is pulled out completely, the outer edge of the front side of the basket is pressed by hand, and the forward tilt of the basket is viewed from the side. The smaller the forward tilt, the stronger the load-bearing capacity of the basket.


4.Pay attention to the structure and materials of the basket slide

The most important thing to buy a cabinet pull basket slide is the load-bearing. The pull basket slide with the whole connection is the best, the third point is the second, and the disassembly is simple. For the slide rails, inferior materials have a fatal effect on the quality of the slide rails. When purchasing, carefully touch the slide rails of different materials, choose the feel of the real, high hardness, heavy rails.


5.Test

The resistance of a good cabinet pull basket slide is very small, and when the slide rail is pulled to the end, the basket will not fall off or fall over. At the scene, you can also pull out the basket and press it on the basket with your hand. See if the basket is loose and there is a creaking sound. At the same time, the resistance and resilience of the basket slide in the process of pulling out the basket are obvious, and whether it is smooth or not, you also need to push and pull several times on the spot to observe.
