Overview and order are almost indispensable in drawers. What matters even more, however, is that the drawers open and close smoothly. After all, what could be more annoying than a drawer that jams? Or one you hesitate to open because you’re afraid the contents might fly out at you? With Heimwerkertools full-extension slides, there is no more blocking or rattling: they allow free access for loading and unloading while ensuring a smooth sliding motion.

Benefits of a full-extension drawer slide

Do you have problems putting things in or taking them out because you can’t pull the drawer all the way out? Partial-extension drawer slides can only be opened up to 75%. The solution: full-extension slides. They can be extended fully, making the entire drawer contents accessible and giving you a better overview. If you need even more flexibility, choose an over-extension slide. This extends beyond the cabinet carcass.

Bottom mounting makes it even easier

You gain particularly high stability with a bottom-mounted full-extension slide. Here, the slide is attached directly to the bottom of a cabinet to support a higher load. Installation is simple, using the screws and couplings included, and can be completed in no time. Essential here: you should work to the millimeter so that the drawer can later be fitted exactly onto the rails. This ensures smooth opening and closing and lets you finally start putting your items away.

A competent partner for your full-extension slide

Above all, good quality and easy installation make a full-extension slide durable. Whether for bottom mounting or for a classic drawer, the helpful runners should always come from professional hands. At Heimwerkertools, we also offer ready-made combinations including closing damping or a soft-close mechanism, as well as a 30-day money-back guarantee. And if you have any questions, just call us or write to us.

3 common questions about full-extension slides and our answers

Full-extension slides and their installation are very simple in practice, but questions often arise before buying. Here we would like to briefly answer the most common ones:

In which lengths are full-extension slides available at Heimwerkertools?

In principle, the choice of the right length depends on the size of the drawer. In our online shop, the installation length is specified for each product and you will also find information on aspects such as extension length or load capacity. Discover not only practical models with an installation length of 300 to 700 mm, but also ball-bearing special solutions with extension lengths of over one meter.

What load capacity does a full-extension slide have?

Depending on the length, the load capacity of a full-extension slide can vary considerably. It also depends on the quality, material, and workmanship of the drawer itself. However, many models typically support at least 30 to 50 kg. The Accuride full-extension drawer slide can even carry loads of up to 150 kg.

Can I install full-extension slides myself?

If you have a bit of DIY skill and the right tools at hand, you can install full-extension slides yourself. Usually, you will need screws, a cordless screwdriver, a screwdriver, and a tape measure.
