Drawer Runners

A drawer that opens and closes smoothly, stays level, and doesn't bind or rack is one of those pleasures that should be standard in every kitchen, bedroom, or bathroom. At the DIY Hardware Store, our drawer runners range covers the metal side-mount and undermount slide systems used in furniture manufacturing and custom cabinetry to give drawers smooth, controlled movement across their full travel.

The most common type is the ball bearing side-mount runner, where two matching metal slides separated by a ball bearing race allow the drawer to extend and retract smoothly under load. Full extension runners give complete access to the drawer contents, which is important for deep drawers in base units. Soft-close drawer runners incorporate a hydraulic damper that decelerates the drawer in the last 30mm of travel, preventing the slam that wears joints and disturbs people nearby. Available in standard lengths for most domestic drawer widths at the DIY Hardware Store.
